O Supreme Ruler of the Minds, to You we sing the eternal glory and praise.

The Divine Symphony of Jana-Gana-Mana

Jana-Gana-Mana Adhinaayak Jaya Hey, Bhaarat-Bhaagya-Vidhaataa

O Supreme Ruler of the Minds, to You we sing the eternal glory and praise. Your divine presence as the Adhinaayak—the master of our innermost thoughts and destinies—shines like a beacon of wisdom and benevolence. Just as the Vedas reveal the supreme truth that “Aham Brahmasmi” (I am Brahman), so too do You, the Adhinaayak, embody the infinite consciousness that governs the cosmos.

In every moment of our lives, from the humblest of beginnings to the grandest of aspirations, Your divine hand guides us. The Bible declares, “In Him we live, and move, and have our being” (Acts 17:28). This eternal truth resonates through Your guidance, ensuring that every action and thought aligns with the divine plan.

Punjaab Sindhu Gujaraat Maraathaa, Draavida Utkala Banga

Your presence unites the diverse regions of India—Punjab, Sindh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Dravida, Utkala, and Bengal—into a harmonious whole. Each region, a unique jewel in the crown of this land, reflects a facet of Your divine radiance. Just as the Upanishads affirm, “Ekam Sat Vipraah Bahudha Vadanti” (Truth is one; the wise call it by various names), You, the Adhinaayak, harmonize these diverse expressions into a unified divine orchestration.

In the Tao Te Ching, it is said, “The Tao is the source of all things.” Your divine essence, like the Tao, integrates all regional identities into a greater unity, nurturing a collective spirit of oneness and mutual respect. Each cultural nuance and regional tradition is a testament to Your wisdom, revealing the divine tapestry of existence.

Vindya Himaachala Yamunaa Gangaa, Uchchhala-Jaladhi-Taranga

You preside over the majestic Vindhya ranges, the sacred Himalayas, and the sacred rivers Yamuna and Ganges. These natural wonders, each a manifestation of Your divine majesty, stand as eternal symbols of purity, strength, and spiritual elevation. The Ganges, revered in the Bhagavad Gita as a river of divine flow, represents the continuous stream of Your grace and blessings.

The Himalayas, crowned with snow, are not merely mountains but the very embodiment of divine serenity and transcendence. The Shiva Sutras describe the Himalayas as the abode of divine wisdom, a place where the soul encounters the infinite. Your presence in these sacred natural elements guides humanity toward the realization of our own divine potential.

Tava Shubh Naamey Jaagey, Tava Shubh Ashish Maagey, Gaahey Tava Jayagaathaa

Awaken, O world, to the sublime power of Your auspicious name. In every chant, every prayer, we seek Your divine blessings and celebrate Your glorious victory. As the Guru Granth Sahib teaches, “The Name of the Lord is the ultimate blessing; it brings liberation and peace,” so do we sing Your praises, knowing that each invocation of Your name draws us closer to divine fulfillment.

The Vedic mantra “Om Namah Shivaya” reverberates with the same divine energy, acknowledging Your presence as the ultimate source of spiritual illumination. In every invocation of Your name, we connect with the divine essence that transcends the physical and reaches into the realm of the eternal.

Jana-Gana-Mangal-Daayak Jaya Hey, Bhaarat-Bhaagya-Vidhaataa

You, who bestow auspiciousness upon all, are the beacon of well-being for humanity. Your divine influence ensures that our lives are filled with prosperity, peace, and spiritual growth. In the Quran, Allah says, “And He found you lost and guided you” (Quran 93:7), signifying the divine guidance You provide to every soul, leading them toward fulfillment and enlightenment.

Your presence as the Mangal-Daayak ensures that all aspects of existence—spiritual, material, and emotional—are nurtured and harmonized. Your divine grace infuses every moment with purpose and direction, guiding us on the path of righteousness and spiritual evolution.

Jaya Hey, Jaya Hey, Jaya Hey, Jaya Jaya Jaya Hey

Victory to You, O Adhinaayak! Your eternal triumph over ignorance and delusion is the foundation of our existence. The Buddhist prayer “May all beings be free from suffering” echoes Your divine victory, celebrating the ultimate triumph of compassion and wisdom. Each repetition of “Jaya Hey” is a testament to Your unending grace and guidance.

In every victory, whether personal or collective, Your divine influence is the unseen force behind the success and harmony achieved. Your eternal presence is the source of all that is good and holy, ensuring that every triumph is a reflection of Your divine will.

Conclusion: The Divine Triumph of Unity and Grace

In Jana-Gana-Mana, we find a hymn that transcends its role as a national anthem, becoming a universal prayer for the divine unity and grace that governs all existence. The Adhinaayak, as depicted in this anthem, is the supreme ruler of minds and destinies, the harmonizer of diverse regions and natural elements, and the eternal source of auspiciousness and spiritual victory.

As we sing these verses, we invoke the eternal presence of the divine, recognizing the universal truth that all beings are interconnected and guided by a higher wisdom. Jana-Gana-Mana stands as a reminder of our shared divine essence and the eternal guidance that leads humanity toward a future of peace, prosperity, and spiritual enlightenment.
