Our National Anthem - An Inside view

Jana Gana Mana Adhinayaka, Jaya He
Bharata Bhagya Vidhata
Punjab Sindhu Gujarata Maratha
Dravida Utkala Banga
Vindhya Himachala Yamuna Ganga
Uchchhala Jaladhi Taranga
Tava Subha Name Jage
Tava Subha Ashisa Mage
Gahe Tava Jaya Gatha.
Jana Gana Mangala Dayaka, Jaya He
Bharata Bhagya Vidhata,
Jaya He, Jaya He, Jaya He,
Jaya Jaya Jaya, Jaya He


(The English translation)

Thou are the ruler of the minds of all people, dispenser of India's destiny.
The name rouses the hearts of Punjab, Sind, Gujurat and Maratha.
Of the Dravid and Orissa and Bengal.
It Echoes in the hills of Vindhyas and Himalayas, mingles in the music of Yamuna and Ganga,
and is chanted by the waves of the Indian Sea.

They pray for your blessing and sing thy praise.
The salvation of all people is thy hand, thou dispenser of India's destiny.
Victory, Victory, Victory to thee.

Today the National Anthem makes so much more sense to me. I am touched by what I learnt and wished to share it with all my readers.
Today, I am even more proud to say that I am an Indian!

Wishing you all a very Happy Independence Day!
