Happy 62nd Republic Day...

At Bay of Bengal, Chennai

On the 62^nd republic day of my country India, today 26th January, 2011, I reproduce lyrics of ‘Vande Mataram’ as well as the beautiful Vande Mataram song sung by A R Rahman, Oscar winner ( Nominated again in this year’s Oscar).

The Song Vande Matram is well known as the National Song of our country. In this song, the two words ‘Vande Mataram’ many freedom fighters remembered to chant while being sentenced to rigorous punishments in Court or being hanged to death. This national Mahamantra Bankimchandra wrote the song ‘Vande Mataram’ on 7th November, 1875.

Although Vande Mataram is a long verse, but nowadays only part of the same is sung more frequently.

Vande Mataram

(Translation by Sri Aurobindo)

Republic day celebrations at our locality today

Vande Mataram

Mother, I bow to thee!

Rich with thy hurrying streams,

bright with orchard gleams,

Cool with thy winds of delight,

Dark fields waving Mother of might,

Mother free.

Glory of moonlight dreams,

Over thy branches and lordly streams,

Clad in thy blossoming trees,

Mother, giver of ease

Laughing low and sweet!

Mother I kiss thy feet,

Speaker sweet and low!

Mother, to thee I bow.

Vande Mataram
