The Visva-Bharti grew out of Shantiniketan Ashrama formed by Maharshi Devendranath, the father of poet Rabindranath Tagore, in 1863. The Ashram was meant to be a retreat where seekers after truth might come and meditate in peace and seclusion. In 1901 an experimental school was started at Shantiniketan by Rabindranath Tagore with the object of providing for an education which would not be divorced from nature, where the pupils could feel themselves to be members of a large community and where they could learn and grow in an atmosphere of freedom, mutual trust and joy. Since 1921, Shantiniketan has been the seat of Visva-Bharati, an international university, seeking to develop a basis on which the cultures of the East and the West may meet in common followship.
