Glory of bygone India

I was watching Chandragupta Maurya with family .. when school prayer started ringing in my ears. And it so perfectly suited the aura of the serial .. like made for it. I do not remember the exact lines of the prayer but I think I can fairly represent a portion of it as follows

Hum arya hain, humara itihaas hai purana

Hai surya dhwaj hamara

Kirne asankhya nana

Hum arya hain ...

Pratah sawan main hamne

Vigyaan ved paaya

Jiski vibha prabha se

Sansaar jagmagaaya, sansaar jagmagaaya

Apne ateet ko ab hum varatmaan kar dein

Hum phir daya se jag main

Anand gyaan bhar dein

Hum arya hain...

Jeevan ki jaan hain hum

Hum praan hain pawan ke

Ravi ki hain rashmiyaan hum

Hum maan hain suman ke

Bhoo par sadaa hamara

Shaasan suchakra ghooma

Hum hi rahe sadaa se

Is bhoomi ke subhooma

Hum arya hain....

Great were the times when institutes like Takshila existed and great were the teachers like Chankaya who lit the fire of learning and achieving in tender hearts like Chandragupta ..who taught the mortals to move the mountains by sheer determination.

Salute to the golden age of  India .. the glory of which beckons us all to recreate it .. to relive it.

Rise and shine :)
