As a sparkling Diamond among the nations
India stands beautifully in shape and size
On the Map of the World attracting all!
For, India, the land of beauty and greatness
Naturally stands unique in Asia as it is
Noted long for its Rich Culture and
Ancient Civilization in the World!
From Kashmir to Kanyakumari and
Gujarat to Assam Regions of India
Many languages, religions, races,
Cultures and traditions thrive here!
The Aryan and the Dravidian Cultures
Mingled here as the Indian Culture!
Also, the cultures of each State
Embellish the greatness of India unique!
In Arts, Philosophy and Religion
Nature itself has inspired variously
Many poets, philosophers and saints
To excel here in their occupations;
Great they became simply because
They were born in this Great Land!
The natural shape of India is the very image
Of the Goddess Sakti herself in reality!
Jammu and Kashmir, paradise on Earth
Beautify the face of Mother India unique;
Himachal Pradesh, Punjab and Haryana
Form a necklace to her neck fine;
The Desert of Rajasthan and the Plains of Ganga
Beautify her body frame as garb;
The Central Plateau of Vindhian Mountains
Cover her chest and stomach firm;
The Deccan Plateau and the Carnatic Plains
Beautify her thighs and calves strong
With her feet gently immersed in the three Seas,
Bengal, Indian and Arabian firm!
The peaks of the snow capped Himalayas
Are the abode of Lord Siva forever;
The confluence of the Indian Ocean and the Sky
Forms the abode of Lord Vishnu eternally;
Siva and Vishnu of North and South India
Protect the Sakti to do her duties to the World.
The Sun comes everyday to glorify her power!
The Moon comes every night to glorify her beauty!
The clouds praise her valor in the day time!
The Stars glorify her beauty in the night time!
And the waves of the Indian Seas praise her eternally!
ONE: Ramesh, congratulations on being chosen as member poem of the day! Through the lovely words you created here, I can sense your pride. That the Indian Govt is not caring well for such a beautiful country makes me very sad while thinking of the many people living in the lowest standard of life and highest poverty.
indeed politics is very bad in India! But that does not mean India has lost it greatness ever even though people are suffering under poverty! Thanks for your critical comment, my dear friend!
ADDITION: Eventhough there IS POVERTY, No, India has NOT LOST its greatness ever, also due to your magnificent creation, dear friend, I have enjoyed a very lot of your lovely poem, and about all the gods and many temples, I have been to India myself and have attended several ceremonies of many gods who are being honoured and worshipped. Really a remembrance to never forget.
