Chandan Hai Is Desh Ki Mati

चंदन है इस देश की माटी तपोभूमि हर ग्राम है
हर बाला देवी की प्रतिमा बच्चा बच्चा राम है

हर शरीर मंदिर सा पावन हर मानव उपकारी है
जहॉं सिंह बन गये खिलौने गाय जहॉं मॉं प्यारी है
जहॉं सवेरा शंख बजाता लोरी गाती शाम है

जहॉं कर्म से भाग्य बदलता श्रम निष्ठा कल्याणी है
त्याग और तप की गाथाऍं गाती कवि की वाणी है
ज्ञान जहॉं का गंगाजल सा निर्मल है अविराम है

जिस के सैनिक समरभूमि मे गाया करते गीता है
जहॉं खेत मे हल के नीचे खेला करती सीता है
जीवन का आदर्श जहॉं पर परमेश्वर का धाम है

ENGLISH
chandan hai is desh kee maaTee, tapo bhoomi har graam hai
har baalaa devee kee pratimaa, bacchaa bacchaa raam hai

har shareer mandir saa paavan, har maanav upkaari hai
jahaan siňha ban gaye khilaune, gaay jahaaň maa pyaari hai
jahaaň savera shankh bajaataa, loree gaatee shaam hai

jahaaň karma se bhaagya badaltaa shrama nishThaa kalyaaNee hai
tyaag aur tap kee gaathaayeň, gaatee kavi kee vaanee hai
gnyaan jahaaň kaa gangaa jal saa, nirmal hai aviraam hai

jis ke sainik samar-bhoomi me, gaayaa karate geetaa hai
jahaaň khet me hal ke neeche, khelaa karati seetaa hai
jeevan kaa aadarsh jahaaň par, parameshvar kaa dhaam hai

Meaning
The soil of this country (Bhaarat) is like ‘chandan’, each village a ‘land of penance’. Each girl is an image of a Devi while each boy is ‘Ram’.
Each body is like a sacred mandir, every person benevolent, where lions became toys (the story of the little prince Bharat, who out of curiosity dared to open the jaw of a lion to count the teeth) and a cow is worshipped as a beloved mother. Here, dawn blows the ‘shankh’ every morning and dusk sings lullaby every evening.
Where one’s fortune is shaped through one’s actions, dedication to work is one’s sacred duty. Where the poets sing the saga of sacrifice and penance. The knowledge and wisdom of this land is like the water of Ganga - pure and perennial.Whose soldiers chant the holy Bhagavad Geeta in the battlefield. Where, in a field, Seeta was found playing under a plough. Where the goal of human life is nothing less than God-realisation.

Good Story to Understand Way of Living Our Life...!!!

Thanks Kiran for sharing wonderful insight....


"When I was a little girl, my mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner
every now and then. And I remember one night in particular when she had
made breakfast after a long, hard day at work.


On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage, and
extremely burned toast in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if
anyone noticed! Yet all my dad did was reach for his toast, smile at my
mom, and ask me how my day was at school. I don't remember what I told him
that night, but I do remember watching him smear butter and jelly on that
toast and eat every bite!


When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom
apologize to my dad for burning the toast. And I'll never forget what he
said: 'Baby, I love burned toast.'


Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if He
really liked his toast burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said,
'Debbie, your Momma put in a hard day at work today and she's real tired.
And besides-a little burnt toast never hurt anyone!' You know, life is
full of imperfect things....and imperfect people. I'm not the best
housekeeper or
cook.


What I've learned over the years is that learning to accept each other's
faults - and choosing to celebrate each other's differences - is one of
the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting
relationship.


And that's my prayer for you today. That you will learn to take the good,
the bad, and the ugly parts of your lives and lay them at the feet of GOD.
Because in the end, He's the only One who will be able to give you a
marriage where burnt toast isn't a deal-breaker!


We could extend this to any relationship in fact - as understanding is the
base of any relationship, be it a husband-wife or parent-child or
friendship!! "
