Today morning, I woke up to the sound of patriotic
Hindi Movie songs in Lata Mangeshkar’s mellifluous voice blaring out of
loudspeakers in the neighbouring Apartment Complex. As I love the songs like Aao
Bachchon…Is Mitti se tilak karo yeh dharti hai balidaan ki, Aye mere watan ke
logon, Vande Mataram etc., it was a great experience.
What made it more special was that today is neither
Republic Day nor Independence Day. Normally patriotism is in the air on these
two days…
“Maa…
Sujalam Suphalam Malayaja Sheetalam Shashya Shyamala
Mataram, Vande Maa….taram”
- Lyrics from “Vande Mataram”
“Maa Tujhe Salaam”(Mother, I Salute You)

I didn’t fail to recognize the commemoration to Maa
– Mother.
Bharat Maa – Our India
Tomorrow is Mother’s Day- Celebrated on the 2nd
Sunday of every May.
Mothers are important as they gift us life.
Moms are Angels!
They know magic spells!
Moms create Heaven even in Hell!
They always ensure- 'All Is Well!'
My Mom had shared this Sanskrit saying with me-
‘Janani Janmabhoomischa Swargat Api Gareeyasi’
- Mother & Motherland are greater than even
Heaven.
May we value all Mothers and give them the regard that
they truly deserve that too every day.
This is a crucial time for our Motherland.
May there be great participation in the last phase of
elections and may a majority cast their votes.
May a stable Government come to power with thumping
majority and undertake the developmental works for Bharat Maa.
Bharat Mata Ki Jai!
This is my humble tribute for all the Mothers and for our
Motherland.
Happy Mother’s Day!

DeleteNice one! I had forgotten it was mother's day today. :) .. I have been a huge fan of that song - Maa tujhe salam, one of his best :)
ReplyDeleteMother's Day is tomorrow, Vinay- the 2nd Sunday of May month.
DeleteThe song is awesome.
Love the fact that you added the Motherland for respect on Mother's day.
ReplyDeleteGlad I realized that after listening to the patriotic songs today, Suresh ji :)
DeleteThat Sanskrit saying also came to my mind with memories of my Mom...
This is a lovely tribute to all mothers, and the mother of all - our motherland. Really very well done, Anita. Here's wishing the very best for our Mother India. Jai Hind!
ReplyDeleteThanks Beloo :)
DeleteDelighted you liked it. Jai Hind!
if you do not feel god, feel e touch of your Mother, it is always there.
ReplyDeleteYes! God can't be everywhere so He created Mothers...
DeleteThis makes me realise the scenes we use to have in movies - watan ki mitti. Wonder where the patriotism has vanished now. Hopefully 2014 will bring some changes in the way our country functions. Hopefully we will again be proud of our nation...
ReplyDeleteGreat take, Anita. Maa tujhe salaam!
True Nisha. Those movies were post-War in the 60s.
DeleteI feel the younger generation needs to be proud & patriotic of our motherland.
We need to value our Moms too.
