The eldest brother of Rabindranath Tagore, Dwijendranath Tagore died on 19 Jan !926, in the morning when Rabindranath was at Lacknau. At this news he cancelling all other programmes hurriedly came to Shantiniketan. he wrote Sukumar Haldar;
" Barda expired. I am living only in this winter wind trembling as the last leaves -waiting to fall down by a storm, The stalk of a leaf has become loosened."
The Shradha Ceremony of Dwijendranath was simultaneously performed in Jorasanko and Shantiniketan on 28th Jan. This was published in Magh issue of Tattwabodhini.  
A big dinner was arranged.
Rabindranath did never agree death as the extreme end of a human being. This is not an exception.
