REAL FACT ABOUT SANATAN DHARAM

 Real Fact About Sanatan Dharam

Shri Tulsidasji says in Shri Ramchartimanas:

कबहुक करि करुणा नर देहि । देत ईश बिनु हेतु स्नेही । ।

Our Sanatan Paddhati describes that we get the physical body of a human being only when the Parmatma showers his mercy on us.

Sanatan Dharma has been considered the oldest and the greatest dharma of the world. Scriptures of the Sanatan Dharma teaches us how to live a good life, and how can we live happily in grahastha-ashram. World's oldest scripture is 'Rigveda'. Sages and highly intellectual people of our faith have written books on each richa and mantra of Rigveda and other vedas.

Shri Krishna Dwapayan Maharishi Ved-vyasji is counted in twenty four avatars of bhagwan Shri Vishnu. Ved-vyasji has written books on vedic philosophy including Shrimad Bhagavatam Mahapuranam which has been considered the best puran among all other scriptures written by other sages on vedic philosophy.

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:

Bengali script 

বন্দে মাতরম্ ৷সুজলাং সুফলাং
মলয়জশীতলাম্
শস্যশ্যামলাং
মাতরম্ !
বন্দে মাতরম্ ৷

শুভ্র-জ্যোত্স্না
পুলকিত-যামিনীম্
ফুল্লকুসুমিত
দ্রুমদলশোভিনীম্,
সুহাসিনীং
সুমধুরভাষিণীম্
সুখদাং বরদাং
মাতরম্ ৷৷
বন্দে মাতরম্ ৷

Bengali phonemic transcription

bônde matorom
shujolang shupholang
môloyôjoshitolam
shoshsho shêmolang

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 -
