Yet another brother, Jyotirindranathwas a musician, composer, and playwright. Her abrupt suicide insoon after he married, left him profoundly distraught for years. He learned drawing, anatomy, geography and history, literature, mathematics, Sanskrit, and English—his least favourite subject.
Years later he held that proper teaching does not explain things; proper teaching stokes curiosity: He mentions about this in his My Reminiscences The golden temple of Amritsar comes back to me like a dream.
Many a morning have I accompanied my father to this Gurudarbar of the Sikhs in the middle of the lake. There the sacred chanting resounds continually. My father, seated amidst the throng of worshippers, would sometimes add his voice to the hymn of praise, and finding a stranger joining in their devotions they would wax enthusiastically cordial, and we would return loaded with the sanctified offerings of sugar crystals and other sweets.
