Aish_215 General Some facts about "Jana Gana Mana" - Just a thought for the National Anthem! How well do you know about it? I have always wondered who is the "adhinayak" and "bharat bhagya vidhata", whose praise we are singing. I thought might be Motherland India! Our current National Anthem "Jana Gana Mana" is sung throughout the country. Did you know the following about our national anthem, I didn't. To begin with, India's national anthem, Jana Gana Mana Adhinayaka, was written by Rabindranath Tagore in honor of King George V and the Queen of England when they visited India in 1919. To honor their visit PanditMotilalNehru had the five stanzas included, which are in praise of the King and Queen. (And most of us think it is in the praise of our greatmotherland!!!) In the original Bengali verses only those provinces that were under British rule, i.e. Punjab, Sindh, Gujarat, Maratha etc. were mentioned. None of the princely states were recognized which are integral parts of India now Kashmir, Rajasthan, Andhra, Mysore or Kerala. Neither the Indian Ocean nor the Arabian Sea was included, since they were directly under Portuguese rule at that time. The Jana Gana Mana Adhinayaka implies that King George V is the lord of the masses and Bharata Bhagya Vidhata is "the bestower of good fortune". Following is a translation of the five stanzas that glorify the King: First stanza: (Indian) People wake up remembering your good name and ask for your blessings and they sing your glories. (Tava shubha naame jaage;tava shubha aashish maage, gaaye tava jaya gaatha) Second stanza: Around your throne people of all religions come and give their love and anxiously wait to hear your kind words. Third stanza: Praise to the King for being the charioteer, for leading the ancient travelers beyond misery. Fourth stanza: Drowned in the deep ignorance and suffering,poverty- stricken, uncons! cious country? Waiting for the wink of your eye and your mother's (the Queen's) true protection. Fifth stanza: In your compassionate plans, the sleeping Bharat (India) will wake up. We bow down to your feet O' Queen, and glory to Rajeshwara (the King). This whole poem does not indicate any love for the Motherland but depicts a bleak picture. When you sing Jana Gana Mana Adhinayaka, whom are you glorifying? Certainly not the Motherland. Is it God? The poem does not indicate that.It is time now to understand the original purpose and the implication of this, rather than blindly sing as has been done the past fifty years. Nehru chose the present national anthem as opposed to Vande Mataram because he thought that it would be easier for the band to play!!! It was an absurd reason but Today for that matter bands have advanced and they can very well play any music. So they can as well play Vande Mataram, which is a far better composition in praise of our dear Motherland -India.Wake up, it's high time!Shouldn't Vande Mataram be our National Anthem. tag:blogs.fullhyderabad.com,2005-01-19:1410 2005-01-19T03:56:02+05:30

Aish_215 Personal Some times I feel why is it always me. Why always I am the one who sacrifices? Why does everyone from parents, friends, and relatives expect me to, no they know that I cannot say no? Let it be the things I get as gift or r things I buy for myself. I ‘m not blaming anyone, I m very happy as I m now. No doubt. But these situations are quite often in my life. Does anyone get into such situations? Don’t know. For example if closest friend and you got out for shopping and both of u like the same article. Another piece is not available. Why you have to leave n let your friend have that? People say why is u so, i.e. you sometimes do not take what is meant for u. I don feel like arguing, I simply say u have it……… I can’t express. I feel if I so no, she/he may get annoyed. Later I feel sorry that I left such a good thing... I donno how I manage. But it happens... tag:blogs.fullhyderabad.com,2005-01-16:1395 2005-01-16T21:48:38+05:30

Aish_215 Personal some time bak a friend of mine asked me "Why v Fall In Love?" I thought ..den I realized "We all want to fall in love. Why? Because that experience makes us feel completely alive. Where every sense is heightened, every emotion is magnified, our everyday reality is shattered and we are flying into the heavens. It may only last a moment, an hour, or an afternoon or ... But that doesn't diminish its value. Because we are left with memories that we treasure for the rest of our lives. Life without love is like fish without water. It may ve different importance in one's life...
