The National Song of India
The song Vande Mataram, composed by Bankimchandra Chatterji, was a source of inspiration to the people in their struggles for Freedom. It has an equal status with jana-gana-mana. The first political session when it was sung was the 1896 session of the Indian National congress. The following is the text of its first stanza.
Vande Mataram!
Sujalam, Suphalam, Malayaja Shitalam,
Shasyashyamalam, Mataram!
Shubhrajyotsna Pulakitayaminim,
Phullakusumita Drumadala Shobinim,
Suhasinim Sumadhura Bhashinim,
Sukhadam Varadam, Mataram!
 English Translation of the stanza rendered by Sri Aurobindo in prose is
I bow to thee, mother,
richly-watered, richly-fruited,
cool with the winds of the south, dark with the crops of the harvests, the Mother!
Her nights rejoicing in the glory of the moonlight,
her lands clothed beautifully with her trees in flowering bloom,
sweet of laughter, sweet of speech,
the Mother, giver of boons, giver of bliss.

 English rendering of Tagore's stanza
 Thou art the rulers of the minds of all people,
dispenser of India's destiny.
Thy name rouses the hearts of Punjab, Sind, Gujarat and Maratha,
Of the Dravida and Orissa and Bengal;
It echoes in the hills of the Vindhyas and Himalayas,
mingles in the music of Yamuna and Ganga and is chanted by
the waves of the Indian Sea.
They pray for thy blessings and sing thy praise.
The saving of all people waits in thy hand,
thou dispenser of India's destiny,
Victory, victory, victory to thee.
