Poems on INDIA

By -

"Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has'nt been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls; Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is lead forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action-
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake."
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "Geetanjali" - Rabindranath Tagore

.........................................................................................................


Better than Heaven or Arcadia I love thee, O my India!
And thy love I shall give To every brother nation that lives.
God made the Earth;
Man made confining countries And their fancy-frozen boundaries.
But with unfound boundless love I behold the borderland of my India
Expanding into the World.
Hail, mother of religions, lotus, scenic beauty,and sages!
Thy wide doors are open, Welcoming God's true sons through all ages.
Where Ganges, woods, Himalayan caves, and men dream God -
I am hallowed; my body touched that sod.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Swami Yogananda Paramhansa
