It is said that the prosperity of a nation is strangely yet invisibly linked to how well it respects its forefathers!

Their sacrifice acts as a bulwark to thwart all negativities, as though their indomitable spirits take up an elevated status of angel guardians, veritable sentinels to the nation!

It is as if by their sheer love for their work during their lifetime and also in their death, they are accorded a special privilege by the Divine to serve the nation still, in their after-lives as well!

“smara ciram he bhāratīya” -Let us take a moment to pray, to pay our respects and get inspired by those great souls who gave their today for our tomorrow!

कथं जनैः पूर्विकाः समाद्रियन्ते इत्येतद् आश्रित्य राष्ट्रस्य अभ्युदयः भवतीति चित्रम् ।

तैः राष्ट्राय कृतः त्यागःसकलान् अशुभविचारान् वारयितुं प्राकारः इव तिष्ठति, तेषाम् अदम्यं सत्त्वमेव जनानां दिव्यरक्षकरूपेण वर्तते ।

जीवनकाले तथा मरणावसरे अपि ते स्वकीयं कर्म प्रति यां श्रद्धाम् धृतवन्तः तस्याः अभिनन्दनेन देवाः तान् मरणानन्तरजीवने अपि राष्ट्रम् सेवितुं विशेषेण अनुजानन्ति इति प्रतीयते ।

अस्माकम् अद्यतनकालार्थं स्वकीयं श्वस्तनकालम् दत्तवद्भ्यः तेभ्यः श्रद्धाञ्जलिं कृत्वा निमेषं प्रार्थयामहे । तैः महात्मभिः राष्ट्रसेवने वयं प्रेरिताः भवेम। “स्मर चिरं हे भारतीय ” ।

smara ciram he bhāratīya!

1. O Indian! Recall hence history thine
Ever ancient, of glory and valour
With wisdom from heart, courage of mind,
Submit thee ‘tis the call from your soul!

2. Ponder too the sacrifice of forefathers,
For aim they did, such ideals great.
Do well, we should, in this present life,
Through penance, wisdom gained thus
Walk the path of values high,
Heed ! the call of the nation nigh!

3. What doubt do you still bear,
On hallowed history the Indians share?
Did Naren, Vir, Kesava and Sarada state in vain?
Build we will our nation to heaven,
Dharma rules this land of Hindus!

4. Won’t it smell sweet, your life of sacrifice
Well spent to fulfill the aim?
Spread we will, the whole world,
With the fragrance of our nation!
And take the grace of Divine Speech,
We shall, to the far ends of the world!
