World Comments:

MANCHESTER GUARDIAN (England)

"The Spectator feels lifted into the highest region of rare poetry. New revelations of the dramas are made by "Sakuntala"

PALL MALL GAZETTE (London)

"It is certainly a service to culture that such treasures of India's inheritance should be made known."

GOETHE (of Germany)

"Would'st thou the young year's blossoms

And the fruit of its decline,

And all by which the soul is charmed,

Encaptured, feasted, fed?

Would'st thou the Earth and Heaven itself

In one sole name combine?

I name thee, O Sakuntala! and all at once in mind"

PROFESSOR ARTHUR RYDER (of America)

"Sakuntala has held captive the heart of India for sixteen hundred years and is winning the love of increasing thousands in the West; for so noble a union of sweetness with strength one of the miracles of art."

SIR RABINDRANATH TAGORE (Of India)

"This drama was meant to elevate love from the sphere of physical beauty to the eternal heaven of moral beauty."
