FAQs On Cheena Bhavana
Shantiniketan, West Bengal, India
Cheena Bhavana, the Department of Chinese Language and Culture at Visva-Bharati University, was established in 1937 through the joint efforts of Rabindranath Tagore and the Chinese scholar Tan Yun-Shan. It stands as a symbol of the age-old cultural and spiritual link between India and China. Tagore envisioned this institute as a "nucleus for cultural exchange," aiming to revive the historic relationship that existed during the era of the Silk Road and Buddhist missions. The building was inaugurated by Tagore himself, who emphasized that it was not just a place for learning a language, but a site for the "union of hearts." The library here is one of the most significant in the world for Sinological studies, housing over 44,000 books, including rare Buddhist scriptures like the Taisho Tripitaka and the Ssu-ku Ch'uan-shu. Over the decades, it has hosted numerous Chinese dignitaries and scholars, cementing its role in international diplomacy. The walls of the main hall are adorned with stunning frescoes painted by the legendary Nandalal Bose and his disciples, depicting the life of the Buddha and the cultural ties between the two nations. The institute offers various courses, from certificates to doctoral research, attracting students globally. Visiting Cheena Bhavana provides a deep insight into how education can be a tool for global peace and mutual understanding. The serene campus, surrounded by trees planted by the founders, offers a meditative environment for both scholars and tourists. It remains a living monument to the "One World" philosophy of Tagore.
