VANDE MATARAM

This song was written By Bankim chander Chatterji  who was one of the

Famous Bengali novelist . This song was rejected by other religions people

For our national anthem as they feel that the song is written in praise  Bharat

Mata and Goddess durga and lakshmi and in my opinion this song is deserved

To be our national anthem

HJS surrenders unto holy feet of Bharat Mata

Lyrics of Vande Mataram

वन्दे मातरम्

 सुजलां सुफलां मलयजशीतलाम्

 शस्यशामलां मातरम् ।

 शुभ्रज्योत्स्नापुलकितयामिनीं

 फुल्लकुसुमितद्रुमदलशोभिनीं

 सुहासिनीं सुमधुर भाषिणीं

 सुखदां वरदां मातरम् ।। १ ।। वन्दे मातरम् ।

 कोटि-कोटि-कण्ठ-कल-कल-निनाद-कराले

 कोटि-कोटि-भुजैर्धृत-खरकरवाले,

 अबला केन मा एत बले ।

 बहुबलधारिणीं नमामि तारिणीं

 रिपुदलवारिणीं मातरम् ।। २ ।। वन्दे मातरम् ।

 तुमि विद्या, तुमि धर्म

 तुमि हृदि, तुमि मर्म

 त्वं हि प्राणा: शरीरे

 बाहुते तुमि मा शक्ति,

 हृदये तुमि मा भक्ति,

 तोमारई प्रतिमा गडि

 मन्दिरे-मन्दिरे मातरम् ।। ३ ।। वन्दे मातरम् ।

 त्वं हि दुर्गा दशप्रहरणधारिणी

 कमला कमलदलविहारिणी

 वाणी विद्यादायिनी, नमामि त्वाम्

 नमामि कमलां अमलां अतुलां

 सुजलां सुफलां मातरम् ।। ४ ।। वन्दे मातरम् ।

 श्यामलां सरलां सुस्मितां भूषितां

 धरणीं भरणीं मातरम् ।। ५ ।। वन्दे मातरम् ।। 

Translation by Sri Aurobindo

 Mother, I bow to thee!

 Rich with thy hurrying streams,

 bright with orchard gleams,

 Cool with thy winds of delight,

 Dark fields waving Mother of might,

 Mother free.

Glory of moonlight dreams,

 Over thy branches and lordly streams,

 Clad in thy blossoming trees,

 Mother, giver of ease

 Laughing low and sweet!

 Mother I kiss thy feet,

 Speaker sweet and low!

 Mother, to thee I bow.

Who hath said thou art weak in thy lands

 When the sword flesh out in the seventy million hands

 And seventy million voices roar

 Thy dreadful name from shore to shore?

 With many strengths who art mighty and stored,

 To thee I call Mother and Lord!

 Though who savest, arise and save!

 To her I cry who ever her foeman drove

 Back from plain and Sea

 And shook herself free.

Thou art wisdom, thou art law,

 Thou art heart, our soul, our breath

 Though art love divine, the awe

 In our hearts that conquers death.

 Thine the strength that nervs the arm,

 Thine the beauty, thine the charm.

 Every image made divine

 In our temples is but thine.

Thou art Durga, Lady and Queen,

 With her hands that strike and her

 swords of sheen,

 Thou art Lakshmi lotus-throned,

 And the Muse a hundred-toned,

 Pure and perfect without peer,

 Mother lend thine ear,

 Rich with thy hurrying streams,

 Bright with thy orchard gleems,

 Dark of hue O candid-fair

In thy soul, with jewelled hair

 And thy glorious smile divine,

 Lovilest of all earthly lands,

 Showering wealth from well-stored hands!

 Mother, mother mine!

 Mother sweet, I bow to thee,

 Mother great and free!
