Tagore's remit expanded to science in his last years, as hinted in Visva-Parichay, 1937 collection of essays. His respect for scientific laws and his exploration of biology, physics, and astronomy informed his poetry, which exhibited extensive naturalism and verisimilitude. He wrote the process of science, the narratives of scientists, into stories in Se (1937), Tin Sangi (1940), and Galpasalpa (1941). His last five years were marked by chronic pain and two long periods of illness. These began when Tagore lost consciousness in late 1937; he remained comatose and near death for a time. This was followed in late 1940 by a similar spell. He never recovered. Poetry from these valetudinary years is among his finest.A period of prolonged agony ended with Tagore's death on 7 August 1941, aged eighty;and 3months he was in an upstairs room of the Jorasanko mansion he was raised in. The date is still mourned.
I'm lost in the middle of my birthday. I want my friends, their touch, with the earth's last love. I will take life's final offering, I will take the human's last blessing. Today my sack is empty. I have given completely whatever I had to give. In return if I receive anything—some love, some forgiveness—then I will take it with me when I step on the boat that crosses to the festival of the wordless end. But the operation couldn't make his survive. He died on 7th Aug 1941.At the time of his death he was 80 yrs and 3 months of age.

Dear
Friends,
On
the occasion of the 151th Birth Anniversary of Rabindranath Tagore, we are
publishing, as a mark of tribute, a very rare photograph of his. This
photograph, in fact, is his last photograph and it was taken while he was being
brought to Kolkata from ‘Santiniketan’ in July 1941, that is, a few weeks
before his demise in August 1941.
With
warm regards,
