Thy name rouses the hearts of Punjab, Sindh, Gujarat, the Maratha country,
in the Dravida country, Utkala (Orissa) and Bengal;
It echoes in the hills of the Vindhyas and Himalayas,
it mingles in the rhapsodies of the pure waters of Jamuna and the Ganges.
They chant only thy name.
They sing only the glory of thy victory.
They seek only thy auspicious blessings.
The salvation of all people waits in thy hands,
O dispenser of India's destiny!
Victory, Victory, Victory, Victory to thee.
Translation of our Vande Mataram, the National Song of India by Shree Aurobindo
Rich with thy hurrying streams,
bright with orchard gleams,
Cool with thy winds of delight,
Dark fields waving Mother of might,
Mother free.
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.
When the sword flesh out in the seventy million hands
And seventy million voices roar
Thy dreadful name from shore to shore?
With many strengths who art mighty and stored,
To thee I call Mother and Lord!
Though who savest, arise and save!
To her I cry who ever her foeman drove
Back from plain and Sea
And shook herself free.
Thou art heart, our soul, our breath
Though art love divine, the awe
In our hearts that conquers death.
Thine the strength that nervs the arm,
Thine the beauty, thine the charm.
Every image made divine
In our temples is but thine.
With her hands that strike and her
swords of sheen,
Thou art Lakshmi lotus-throned,
And the Muse a hundred-toned,
Pure and perfect without peer,
Mother lend thine ear,
Rich with thy hurrying streams,
Bright with thy orchard gleems,
Dark of hue O candid-fair
And thy glorious smile divine,
Lovilest of all earthly lands,
Showering wealth from well-stored hands!
Mother, mother mine!
Mother sweet, I bow to thee,
Mother great and free!
FEW MORE QUESTIONS :
Though Brian had asked so many little things and few serious things too\u2026which I will reply here in short but I promise I will write in detail about that later too!
He had asked about languages & some meanings of the words\u2026
MY ANSWER: In my country, we have different languages for different states but our NATIONAL LANGUAGE is Hindi
Few other languages are ( Statewise)
Maharashtra (where I live) \u2013 local language is Marathi
Andra Pradesh \u2013 Telgu
Tamilnadu \u2013 Tamil
Kerala \u2013 Malyalam
Orissa \u2013 Oriya
West Bengal \u2013 Bengali
Punjab \u2013 Punjabi
Gujarat - Gujarati
Karnataka \u2013 Kannada
Assam \u2013 Assamese etc etc\u2026.
So we have different language, dress code and different food habits in almost every state!
Brain had asked \u201cWhat is eve-teasing?\u201d
MY ANSWER : It is nothing related to Adam & Eve! :p ( kidding) Eve-teasing is teasing or flirting of boys or taunting of boys with the girls ( or women) by standing roadside areas\u2026! Most of the time college boys do that and sometimes local goons to whom we call roadside Romeos ! Hehehe. These remarks can be romantic, slang or even derogatory too, which can make a girl feel harassed or tortured by those boys. Due to such harassments sometimes girls take drastic steps like suicide too! I remember we had some serious issues happened regarding this in the south India long back. So you can say eve teasing is a BAD thing and even though sometimes boys start it in fun\u2026! I will write more about this too but later\u2026
Finally, NEMO had asked simple but very core questions as a friend\u2026he said, I would like your opinion about the following questions :-
