'''Debendranath Tagore''' (15 May 1817 – 19 January 1905) was a Hindu philosopher and religious reformer, active in the [[Brahmo Samaj]] (“Society of Brahma,” also translated as ''Society of God''). He was the founder in 1848 of the [[Brahmo]] religion, which today is synonymous with [[Brahmoism]]. Born in [[Shilaidaha]], his father was the industrialist [[Dwarkanath Tagore]]; he himself had 14 children, many of whom, including Nobel-prize winning poet [[Rabindranath Tagore]], made significant artistic or literary contributions to society.<br />
