When many cultures were nomadic
Even several thousand, years before India
Had the civilized culture alike Harappa
River belt and bed were thy residential places
All had the aimed mind of unity and cooperation
While kings were to maintain, rules regulations
Peoples with hard, honest work, and arise
foreign visitorstoo made,clearfindingbeggar free
Alleducated, well dressed, houses multistoried
God laid the Vedas through saints under meditation
The way of verbal to ear and to pass trend same to rest

Ladder and snakes played with cowry shells and dices.
First emergence from India, a way of peaceful life and liberation
Parrot, eagles, were often used in India as messengers
animal hunt and fight with were the part of the royal pleasure
Sixty-four arts are famous from ancient India
Stone-made, architectures, still one can find intemples
the carving and designs are true ones toastonish
as most modern instruments are needed to come up
the cannons used in ancient India are still rust proof
though there were earthquakes, floods spared are temples
the resistance to lightening mechanism is inbuilt
each temple possess thy specialty, proving talent
somebuilt from top to bottom, and in reverse too
paintings on the caves are still worth to appreciate today
caves of Ajantha and Ellora still stand as proving the fact
konarksun temple sun firstrays fall on the feet of shrine daily
the attraction of the temple is twelve pairs of wheels
to the chariot like a temple, which acts as a sundial
withspokes shadoweasy to assess time accurately
pillars of Hampi temple soundsSARIGAMA music onbeat
Musicalsounds come from each pillar distinct
Inseparate, tone throughform and design similar
Panagal temple shadow forms on the shrine of Lord Shiva
Hence named asChaya(shadow)Someswaralayam
At panakala Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy temple
Devotees make a liquid offer, but swami returns exactlyhalfback
Kailash temple is one of single stone carve from top
the six-ton weight and seven meters height pillar at Delhi
is a single piece of make stands rust less in rain sun and air
Though sixteen centuries lapse, a proof of Indian metallurgy
First granite temple Brihadareswara is worth to
Praise even today, the top stone (shikara)is single and 80 tonnes
Some other temples are of another style to appreciate
At other temples, pillars are baseless support one can pass
Cloth underneath or the spot ofpillar bottom
Arts of sixty-four, arebasic stay, and teach of India
Divine rituals, Yagnas prayers were household routine
Meditation, yoga to keeps good health,known long back
sungbhajans in lord praise, with spatting,step making
A sort of acupressure and vibrations spread, make pollution free
Science of geography Rivers, mountains, seas, animals, plants
Food, shelter, cloth, and with no item life shortfall
Diamond carving and being one of the trades by sea
With rich heritage people lived, with ever problem to face
Plenteous pulled in many invaders, as it being under
Several kings with limited size and scope to resist
Not only the loot, invaders even killed teachers and burnt books
Martial artoriginated, Buddhist monks spread other countries
Cows raising more sacredly praised even by Lord Krishna
As they give pure milk, to make milk products with mere grass
Though kings gone one fined the unrusted cannons in old forts
Artillery, shipping, aviation, sculpture, all were at perfect deal
The temples are the points where divine cosmic rays fall on earth
Lord Sri Venkateswara temple of Thirupathy golden temple of Amritsar,
Temple at Varanasi, Somanath temple of Saurashtra
Several other spreads across total motherland
Nevertheless, stand for people to visit and pray
There are temples of Lord Vishnu, Lord Shiva,
Goddess Lakshmi, Parwathy, and Saraswathi the goddess of wisdom
all in one form the goddess Kali, Lord Ganesha, the Sun,
lord Sri Rama, Lord Hanuman, and village Gods several
Buddhist Aramas, Jain temples,
A motherland of tradition, culture, and customs
The land gave birth to spiritual writings,
A land of testimony to the bravery of kings
Spot where science meets spirituality
A land that taught peace and harmony
A place of all races, religions, cultures, customs
Peoples of all languages stay united
The birthplace of Sanskrit mother of all languages
The bloodshed by war, loot, vandalized,yet strong
Divine souls born, mathematics first originated
Animals are, equally treated as human
The biggest contribution to the world in shape of
Srimad Bhagavad Geetha, Maha Bharatha, Ramayana
Geetha makes the person live and adjust to society
Maha Bharatha the story of lust greed and enmity
The resultant of fateone to face with
Ramayana reveals the relation of a person with
Parents, brothers, wife, society, social behavior
Bhagavtham displays the Lord incarnations and actions
The resultant result of true devotees and the benefit
Land of glory and splendor, teaching the humanity
To live with morals, maintaining peace and harmony
Muslims are with mosques, Christians with churches
Though the tradition and religion differ all stay
Unitedin mother India lake, alike wherelotus and water Lilly
One bloom in sun top and other with moon top
Around which grow herbs, shrubs, and tall trees
Lodging aquatic animals in water, amphibians, birds
On trees animals around and surroundall at the comfort
Mother India itself is special in geographical content
North is the deep freezer for those who love cool
The middle is as temperature moderate for the wishers
South is the sea coast to the one wanted hot atmosphere
all the residents, visitorshave the option of seasonal stay
birds of the distant countries and locations migrate to India
thus India is a worth place to stay even to the birds too
it is a land of birth of saints, most sophisticated personalities
adopting kind and courtesy, unity, the welfare of all inmates
Society needs service in ways many to the service
That's the reason for formation of survival trade
Weaver, to weave potter, to make earthen pots, to stitch tailor,
goldsmith for ornament make, blacksmith for tool making
carpenter, for woodwork, Mason, for construction barber, for a haircut
priest, to preach teacher, to teach washerman, wash, cobbler to shoe make

Being a service to humanity and self survival

Advanced to the level of human need serving
Not only in India but in coverage of several other countries
Millions ofyouth with technology are at service to mother and world
Thus India is a leading mother from ancient to modern
As Swami Vivekananda spoke, all are our brothers and sisters
Let the world be happy, with divine blessing, is the mind ofMother India
