Vande Mataram the Indian Song

Vande Mataram the Indian Song

Vande Maataram Is a poem in the 1882 novel Anandamath written by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay. It is written in a Sanskrit and later on Bengoli. Basically it is a hymn to the goddess Aadi Shakti Maa Durga (also Dharati Maata & Bhaarat Maata), identified as the national Image of India. It came to be considered the "National Song of India", and it played very important part in the Indian independence movement. But some Indian Organization refuse to this as National Song.

The Sanskrit Text is written in the Image on an Indian Postal Stamp.

The two verses of Vande Mataram adopted as the "National song"  in Bengali read as follows:

Here is the translation in prose of the above two stanzas rendered by Sri Aurobindo Ghose. This has also been adopted by the Government of India's national portal. It should be noted that the original Vande Mataram consists of six stanzas and the translation in prose for the complete poem by Shri Aurobindo appeared in Karmayogin, 20 November, 1909.

I bow to thee, Mother,
richly-watered, richly-fruited,
cool with the winds of the south,
dark with the crops of the harvests,
The Mother!
Her nights rejoicing in the glory of the moonlight,
her lands clothed beautifully with her trees in flowering bloom,
sweet of laughter, sweet of speech,
The Mother, giver of boons, giver of bliss.

Many Muslim organizations in India have declared fatwas against singing Vande Mataram, due to some muslim culture reason       But later-after Arif Mohammed Khan, a former Union Minister in the Rajiv Gandhi government, wrote an Urdu translation of Vande Mataram which starts as Tasleemat, maan tasleemat is very beautiful in read.

Tasleemat, maan tasleemat
tu bhari hai meethe pani se
phal phoolon ki shadabi se
dakkin ki thandi hawaon se
faslon ki suhani fizaaon se
tasleemat, maan tasleemat
teri raaten roshan chand se
teri raunaq sabze faam se
teri pyar bhari muskan hai
teri meethi bahut zuban hai
teri banhon mein meri rahat hai
tere qadmon mein meri jannat hai
tasleemat, maan tasleemat -

True Fact About Four Sculptures of India

True Fact About Four Sculptures of India

The above Images are from four different Temples which is seems to be four different Gods is not exactly the different. These Images are of Lord BadriNaath, Lord Jaganaath,Lord Ranganatha & Lord Tirupati Nath the incarnation of one God Vishnu.

It is believe that Lord Vishwakarmaa (also an incarantion of Lord Vishnu is The great architect of Deva Loka & whole universe)creates four sculptures (in Stya-Yuga) by their own hand and designed his own images (as God Vishnu) in a four different forms and donates these sculptures to Lord Brahmaa for worship. These images known as Chatur Naath like Tirupati-Naath, Jaga-Naath, Ranga-Naath, Badri-Naath. These sculptures are now on planet earth in India (Bhur Loka in (->) Jambu Dweepa in (->)Bharat Warsha) which is very famous and spiritual pilgrimages even today. These are also known as Swyambhu Murati (means GodMad or God himself).

According to the Vedaas there are three types of sculptures/Temples found in the universe.

1. GodMade. (Created by God)
2. Pitra-Made. (Created by Pitras)
3. ManMade. (Created by Man)

All has a different effect (fruit) of worship.

GodMade:-
Person who worship in GodMade Temple can get Moksha Immediately and his all deeds fulfil immediately.

Pitra-Made:-
In Pitra-Made temple worshiper can get all the prosperity in few days and can get the Moksha at the end of his life.

ManMade:-
In ManMade Temples worshiper get the fruit according to what he did (wrong or right) in his life span and his previous life ( Purav Janam Krita Paap/Punya).  Thoughts of the worshiper is also effect the fruit of worship.  Pure Hearted Worship gives immediate effect in ManMad temples.

The GodMade Temples/Sculptures (Murati) were found only in the Stya-Yuga as time passes they disappears only Pitra-Made temples were left (until Dwapar Yuga) (latest example in Vedas is Dwaarikaa Nagari which is Established by Lord Krishna (incarnation of Lord Vishnu) and designed by Lord Vishwakarmaa. It has lots of Pitra-Made & God Made Temples in it. But as time passes it submerged (disappear) in Sea). And now In Kali Yuga There are only ManMade temples left.

But above of all, as Vdeas says, God give us another chance to worship the GodMad Sculpture in Kali-Yuga. It is believe that These Four Sculpture (Chatur Naath) is Swayambhu Murati (GodMade or God itself).

There are many different legends of all these sculptures about how they came to Bharat Warsha (Planet Earth). For example:-

It is believe that Lord Vishnu itself appear as Swayambhu Murati in Venktesh Mountain (in Andhra Pradesh as Tirupati-Naath) on the request of King Thondmana.

The Sculpture of Rang-Naath was gifted by Lord Brahama to Lord Rama in Treta-Yuga. As Vibheeshan (King of Shri Lanka after the death of Raawan) is a great devotee of Lord Rama, Lord Rama was gift the same sculpture to him. He wants to Establish the Sculpture in Shri Lanka but by the inspiration of God it left in India and still worshiped in India even today at Srirangam, Tiruchirapalli, Tamil Nadu (In between time lots of kings renovate the temples and sculptures lots of time as i said Godmade items disappears in Kaliyuga.)
