    4.1.2 CULTURAL/YOGA/GAMES/SPORTS 1. Cultural Activities The overall ambience of Visva Bharati truly demands exceptionality. Here learning is a holistic all-encompassing process rather than a regulated and stifling experience. Large portions of the campus are open to the general public as Santiniketan and Visva-Bharati are as much cultural pilgrimage spaces as they are educational institutes. The overall ambience of the university is a small town with students, teachers, administrative staff rubbing their shoulders in the common campus space with locals and visitors. It must be noted that entry of visitors into academic classes and spaces during the academic exercise are not permitted. Many of the university’s facilities and spaces – washrooms, roads, museums, parts of the core Ashrama areas during specific times – are open to public viewing and visiting. During cultural events and utsavs in Visva-Bharati’s packed academic calendar, visitors are allowed into the campus especially during the two major events of Vasanta Utsav and Poush Mela. During those times, a large number of Visva-Bharati facilities and spaces are open to the public albeit under careful scrutiny and control. 1. Poush Mela: Poush Mela is celebrated for three days in mid-December that takes place in the large Mela Maath opposite the ashram. Poush Mela is an annual fair and festival that marks the harvest season. The event is characterized by its live performances of Bengali folk music, especially Bauls, tribal dance (Santhali), firework displays. The rows of stalls here sell a wide variety of products like toys, garments, books, household items, utensils and local handicrafts.

However, Japan’s strict and temporary immigration policies have made it very difficult for refugees to be granted asylum status or for working-class immigrants to settle in Japan. This research offers a qualitative exploration of instances of effective integration of Bengali migrants—from Bangladesh and West Bengal, India—into Japanese society, coming for economic and asylum related purposes. I examine examples of migrants who have been able to fulfill economic needs while also introducing new artforms and practices to Japan, strengthening intercultural relationships in ways that native Japanese appreciate and even emulate. Using ethnographic participant observation and in-person interviews, this research reveals how Bengalis have recreated feelings of "home" and "belonging" through culture exchange venues such as food industries, artforms, and language.

    04.05.2020 THE Vol. 1 Issue 4 NORTH POINT WEEKLY RECTOR’S message From the time the humans went indoors the animals, the reptiles and the birds have started returning to human habitations, perhaps their once-upon-a-time habitat. Many videos make rounds Fr K. L. George, SJ around the globe showing how these non-humans freely roam around on human grounds. I see the mouse move around and hear “A thing of beauty is a joy for ever” – John Keats, Endymion the twitter of the birds on trees. No mouse on pad or twitter on web Book I do I see here. Our school at North Point is largely free of people due to the lockdown. But it has turned out to be a place of rejuvenation. Covid-19 has incarcerated us all. For many it is a great agony. This issue of The North Point Weekly gives you a glimpse of what For some it is a welcome solitude. As I walk around the quadrangle has happened during your absence, dear North Pointers. We want of a 132-year-old prison-like building and its surroundings, I see to give you a taste of your school even in your absence at North and hear many things which one comes across in a more natural Point. I believe, we can all say with John Keats, surrounding such as a forest. In this powerful solitude I contemplate the mysteries of our Mother Earth. And I am drawn by a mid-day “Beauty is truth, truth beauty, - that is all dream to enter an Earth with all the splendour of nature, except the Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know” – Ode on a Grecian Homo sapiens.

    Rabindra Jayanti‘ is the day which marks the birth anniversary of the great poet, philosopher and educationist Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941). Celebrated on the 25th day of Boisakh (as per Bengali calendar), this day is popularly called ‘Poncheeshe Boisakh’ and is celebrated ceremoniously all across West Bengal. Rabindra One of the most significant events in the cultural calendar of West Bengal, ‘Rabindra Jayanti’ is celebrated with performances primarily based on the Nobel Laureate, Rabindranath Tagore’s vast array of work—songs, dramas, poems as well as dances. Tagore not only wrote India’s National Anthem but Jayanti also Bangladesh’s National Anthem. We shall always remain indebted to Tagore for bridging Indian and Western cultures, through his literary and 2016 artistic contributions. This year, Swisspuja continues its tradition by organizing two cultural events in Zurich, starting in the morning with a ‘Probhat Pheri’ (a morning procession of people singing Tagore’s songs) and in the evening with a programme of songs, dances and recitations, followed by the famous dance drama “Chitrangada”. All are being performed by Swisspuja community members. Entry to the evening programme is by prior registration only, whereas all are welcome to watch the ‘Probhat Pheri’, as an audience. Evening programme Date: Sunday 8th May, 2016 at 5 p.m. Venue: Reformierte Kirche Zürich-Leimbach Wegackerstrasse 42 8041 Zurich “Give me the supreme confidence of love, This is my prayer – the confidence that belongs to Life in death, to victory in defeat, To the power hidden in the frailest beauty, To that dignity in pain which accepts hurt But disdains to return it” - Rabindranath Tagore.
