Vande Maa Taram


Today, I was surfing youtube, listening to the melodious songs broadcasted on  Doordarshan, during the times when we were kids. When Doordarshan was the only channel available on television.

My all time favourites are : 





These Videos were broadcasted millions of times during comercial breaks, and they enthralled me every time I watched them. I believe these videos have done a good job in promoting the spirit of "Unity in Diversity" in Indian children (and adults too).

I was searching for more patiotic videos when I found this awesome composition by A.R. Reheman.




Hearing the above composition I felt the urgent urge to listen to our national song, Vande Mataram in its original form. 
Surprisingly, I could not find a single file on youtube which could sate my thirst.

In the end I found the audio version of vande mataram in good old wikipedia.

I end this blog with tribute to Shree Bankimchandra Chattopadhya for his beautiful and inspiring contribution

वन्दे मातरम्
सुजलां सुफलां मलयजशीतलाम्
शस्यश्यामलां मातरम् |
शुभ्र ज्योत्स्ना पुलकित यामिनीम्
फुल्ल कुसुमित द्रुमदलशोभिनीम्,
सुहासिनीं सुमधुर भाषिणीम्
सुखदां वरदां मातरम् ||
