Celebrate the Freedom of Spirit - Happy Independence Day

जो भरा नहीं  है भावों से - बहती  जिसमें  रसधार नहीं                     
वह हृदय नहीं पत्थर है जिसमें मातृभूमि का प्यार नहीं
              स्वतंत्रता दिवस की शुभकामनाएं 

























चित्त जेथा भयशून्य ,उच्च जेथा शिर 
ज्ञान जेथा मुक्त जेथा गृहेर प्राचीर
आपन प्रांगणतले दिवसशर्वरी
बसुधारे राखे नाइ खण्ड खण्ड क्षुद्रकरि
               Happy Independence Day.
While we celebrate the independence of our country, 
let us also celebrate the spirit of Freedom within us. 
May our minds be free of hatred, narrow-mindedness - 
flawed concepts, and blind faiths. 

Chitta Jethaa Bhaya Shoonya - Uch jethaa Shir
Gyan jethaa Mukt - Jethaa Graher Pracheer 

Where the mind is free from fear 
and the head is held high; 
Where Gyan -the knowledge is free - (free of false concepts, and blind faiths)
Where the world has not been broken up 
into fragments by the domestic walls 

Where words come out from the depth of truth; 
Where tireless striving stretches its arms 
towards perfection
and flow without any hindrance;

Where the clear stream of reason and thoughts 
has not lost its way 
into the dreary desert sand of lowly habits and deeds; 
Where the valor is not divided into hundreds of different pieces;

Where the mind is led forward by thee 
into ever-widening thought and action–
Into that heaven of freedom, 
my Father, let my country awake. 
           Original in Bengali by Rabindranath Tagore
