BHARATHA MAATHA – THE DIVINE MOTHER

 

|| Bramha rAjarShi rathnADHyAm vandhE BhAratha maatharam ||

 

 

 

 

Part – 1 : Our glorious motherland

"The more, therefore, the Hindus study the past, the more glorious

will be their future and whoever tries to bring the past to the door

of everyone, is a great benefactor to his nation."

 

 

 

-Swami Vivekananda

 

THIS is our sacred motherland, Bharath, a land whose glories are sung

by the gods –

 

 

 

"gaayanthi devAh kila giitakAni DhanyAsthu yE BhAratha Bhuumi Bhaage |

 

swargApavargAspada hEthuBhuuthE Bhavanthi Bhuuyah puruShAh surathwAth

||"

 

 

 

[the men born in the land of Bharath, the gateway to heavens and

salvation, are more blessed than the gods themselves – so sing the

gods]

 

 

 

- a land visualised by Mahayogi Aurobindo as the living

manifestation of the Divine Mother of the Universe, the JaganmAtha,

the Adhishakthi, the MahAmAya and the MahAdhurgA, Who has assumed

concrete form to enable us to see Her and worship Her,

 

 

 

- a land eulogised by our philosopher-poet Ravindranath

Tagore as:

 

 

 

"dhEvi Bhuvana mana mOhini …….niila sinDhu jala Dhautha

charaNathala….."

 

 

 

[The enchanting Goddess of the world……….Her feet washed by the waters

of the oceans],

 

 

 

- a land saluted by the inspired poet of freedom struggle,

Bankim Chandra Chatterji, in his immortal song Vande Matharam which

spurred thousands of young hearts to cheerfully ascend the gallows in

the cause of Her liberty, as

 

 

 

"thwam hi dhurgA dhasha praharaNa DhAriNim"

 

 

 

[ …Thou art the Great Destroyer armed with ten weapons …]

 

 

 

- a land worshipped by all our seers and sages as

MaathruBhuumi, DharmaBhuumi, KarmaBhuumi and PuNyaBhuumi, a veritable

DevaBhuumi and MokshaBhuumi,

 

 

 

- a land which has been to us since hoary times the beloved

and sacred Bharath Maatha whose very name floods our hearts with

waves of pure and sublime devotion to Her,

 

 

 

- well, this is the mother of us all, our glorious

motherland BhArath !!!!!!!!!!

the 2nd Sar-Sangha Chalak (Chief / Supremo) of the R.S.S. (Rashtriya

Swayamsevaka Sangh) ]
