Information
Vande Mataram is the Indian National Song.It was written by Shri.
Bankimchandra.Bankim Chandra Chatterjee,who was born on 27th June
1838 and had a last breath on 8th April 1894..He was the greatest novelists and poets of India,who was also known as Bankim Chandra
Chattopadhyay. He is well
known as the author of the national song of India -'Vande Mataram'.
Shri. Bankim chandra wrote a novel-'Anandmath'
in 1982 and Vande Mataram is a poem taken from it. It is
written in Bangali and Sanskrit.In this hymn Goddess Durga is
symbolised as the personification of India.The concept of Vande
Mataram came to Bankimchandra when he was a government official in
year 1876. Shri.
Jadunath Bhattacharya set the tune after it was written down.It was first sung
by Shri. Ravindranath Tagore in connection with the
political affairs,in the session of Indian National Congress,
in the year 1986.It played a very important role in the
freedom movement of India.
The Vande Mataram verses has been composed in different tunes in
the past so many years till today. and the oldest surviving audio
dates to 1907.Many of these compositions are based on South Asian
Classical music.The song is used in many Indian Films like - Amar
Asha, Anand Math ,Leader etc.The tune composed for 'All India
Radio' was scored
in Desh Raaga,by Shri. Ravi Shankar,as a part of
Golden Jubilee celebration of Indian Independence.in
the year 1997.A.R.Rehman also composed the song in Desh
Raaga,which became very popualr all over.Vande Mataram song from
the film 'Anand Math' won second rank in the international poll
conducted by BBC World Service in the year.2002
The designation as 'National Song' predates independence, dating
to 1937.The Indian National Congress(INC) on this date discussed the status of the song.It was
learnt that-the first two stanzas explained
the beauty of the motherland,however, in the later stanzas,there are
references where the motherland is likened to the Hindu goddess.Hence
the Indian National Congress decided to adopt only the first two stanzas as the
'National Song'.
After the independence of India,the first two verses of Vande
Mataram were granted an official status as the 'National Song' of
the Republic of India.It was translated in prose by Shri. Arbindo
Ghose,which was adopted by Indian government's national portal.On
20th November 1909 the complete translation of poem appeared in 'Karmayogin'.Shri.
Arbindo also translated there verses in another prose form named
as-'Mother I bow to thee'.Vande Mataram is distinct from 'Janaganaman, the
National Anthem of India.
The Code of conduct
The National
Song, 'Vande Mataram' is played or sung on various occasions
by government and public.As per the practise the people stand
up in 'Attension pose' till the Anthem is over
and then bow down and say - "Jai-Hind".

Translation by Shri. Aurobindo Ghose
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 ...............ll1ll
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
Mother, to thee I bow...............
ll2ll
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
Mother, to thee I bow...............
ll3ll
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
Mother, to thee I bow...............
ll4ll
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!
Mother, to thee I bow...............
ll5ll
