MY DEAR INDIA

I love my dear India,

It is full of great idea.Punjab is for chivalry, bravery and fighting,

Bengal is for art, creativity and writing.

Rajasthan is for patriotism and history,

Maharashtra is for glorious victory,

Karnataka is for priceless silk,And Haryana is for strength and milk.

Kerla is for penetrating brain,

Utter Pradesh is for nutritious grain,Himachal Pradesh is for juicy apples,

And Orisa is for majestic temples.

Madhya Pradesh is for tough tribals,

Bihar is for rich minerals,

Uttranchal is for heavenly beauty,Seven sisters of north-east are for rich variety.

Alas! Kashmir is for destruction,

But Bharat Mata is for resurrection,All the states stand for strength and unity,

My dear India baths in rich tranquility

"Where the mind is without fear

and the head is held high;

Where knowledge is free;

Where the world has not beenbroken up into fragments by

narrow domestic walls;

Where words come out fromthe depth of truth;

Where tireless striving stretches

its arms towards perfection;

Where the clear stream of reasonhas not lost its way into the dreary

desert sand of dead habit;

Where the mind is lead forward by theeinto ever-widening thought and action-

Into that heaven of freedom, my Father,

let my country awake."

"Geetanjali"

- Rabindranath Tagore

Better than Heaven or ArcadiaI love thee, O my India!

And thy love I shall give

To every brother nation that lives.God made the Earth;

Man made confining countries

And their fancy-frozen boundaries.But with unfound boundless love

I behold the borderland of my India

Expanding into the World.Hail, mother of religions, lotus, scenic beauty,and sages!

Thy wide doors are open,

Welcoming God's true sons through all ages.

Where Ganges, woods, Himalayan caves, andmen dream God -

I am hallowed; my body touched that sod.

- Swami Yogananda Paramhansa

Is there ought you need that my hands withhold,

Rich gifts of raiment or grain or gold?Lo ! I have flung to the East and the West

Priceless treasures torn from my breast,

And yielded the sons of my stricken wombTo the drum-beats of the duty, the sabers of doom.

Gathered like pearls in their alien graves

Silent they sleep by the Persian waves,

Scattered like shells on Egyptian sands,
