Poem

This heart yearns to sing this song, to show the world where I belong,

An ancient civilization on this Earth, its great wisdom brings pride
to this birth,

Truth* and  non-violence** is taught, to make it an integral part 
of every heart,

Suffused with rich and wild fauna and flora, every part of the country
has an unique aura, 

Everything is worshiped, not in blind faith, but to see the Maker in everything 
 as THE fundamental Truth,

Seasons here are six and this makes it unique, the Fall season is  worshiped 
to show letting go with grace  is what one must seek,

One’s mind and body is fused through Yoga as a Life goal, to view this World
as an integrated Whole,

This “World is a Family”***  is what India says, live and let live are the ways
of this diverse race and region, that makes this world a beautiful place.

                                                   *******


Notes:
* Truth: The ancient story of King Harishchandra illustrates his commitment to God through Truth. This video link has that story  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnkKJubhAIs
Gandhi’s inspiring book “My Experiments with Truth” was probably influenced by this story of King Harishanchandra.

** Non-violence: Buddha was  born here in India, he preached and practiced non-violence, so was Gandhi and innumerable others.

*** Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam is an ancient Sanskrit phrase and means  "the world is one family”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasudhaiva_Kutumbakam
