"Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high 
Where knowledge is free
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments 
By narrow domestic walls
Where words come out from the depth of truth
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way 
Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
Where the mind is led forward by thee 
Into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake."

Nice sharing.........

The original poem in Bengali starts with “Chitto jetha bhayashunyo” (Where the mind is without fear).Since it was composed in Bengali in early 1900’s, this poem has inspired millions of Indians with its image of a free-thinking, undivided, dynamic nation. It was translated in English in 1911.

 

I have always had great respect towards Bengalis. They are better known for their Intellectual class (Bhadraloka). This class has given us several fearless men like Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Srila Prabhupada, Vivekananda Swami, Rabindranath Tagore. They were not only fearless, but their teachings also were full of messages of fearlessness. Such class of men have always delved into topics which relates to higher consciousness. Their messages always have one common thread, “To rise and strive for a higher cause”.

 

It’s great that Sanjay Bag, never deviates from the legacy left by his ancestors and always keep posting such spiritually elevating topics. Sanjay, thanks for sharing !
