The song Vande Mataram, composed in Sanskrit by Bankimchandra Chatterji, was a source of inspiration to the people in their struggle for freedom. It has an equal status with Jana-gana-mana. The first political occasion when it was sung was the 1896 session of the Indian National Congress. The following is the text of its first stanza:<\/span><\/p>\n

Vande Mataram!<\/span><\/p>\n

Sujalam, suphalam, malayaja shitalam,<\/span><\/p>\n

Shasyashyamalam, Mataram!<\/span><\/p>\n

Vande Mataram!<\/span><\/p>\n

Shubhrajyotsna pulakitayaminim,<\/span><\/p>\n

Phullakusumita drumadala shobhinim,<\/span><\/p>\n

Suhasinim sumadhura bhashinim,<\/span><\/p>\n

Sukhadam varadam, Mataram!<\/span><\/p>\n

Vande Mataram, Vande Mataram!<\/span><\/p>\n

The English translation of the stanza rendered by Sri Aurobindo in prose 1 is:<\/span><\/h3>\n

I bow to thee, Mother,<\/span><\/p>\n

richly-watered, richly-fruited,<\/span><\/p>\n

cool with the winds of the south,<\/span><\/p>\n

dark with the crops of the harvests,<\/span><\/p>\n

The Mother!<\/span><\/p>\n

Her nights rejoicing in the glory of the moonlight,<\/span><\/p>\n

her lands clothed beautifully with her trees in flowering bloom,<\/span><\/p>\n

sweet of laughter, sweet of speech,<\/span><\/p>\n

The Mother, giver of boons, giver of bliss.<\/span><\/p>\n
