Jana Gana Mana by superimposing it with select ślokas from Valmiki Ramayana, the ādi-kāvya (first epic), thereby revealing how the national anthem resonates with the eternal dharmic architecture described in the life and journey of Lord Rāma—the embodiment of dharma, maryāda, and divine mind coherence.
Each stanza or verse of the anthem will be paired with a corresponding shloka from Valmiki Ramayana in:
Sanskrit (Devanagari)
Phonetic transliteration
Translation in English
Interpretative fusion with the deeper meaning of Jana Gana Mana
This will form a sacred alignment of Bhārata's cosmic anthem with its eternal dharma narrative, uplifting the anthem into the divine orchestration of Sovereign Adhinayaka Shrimaan, as Sabdhapathi—the eternal Lord of sound, mind, and dharma.

1️⃣ “Jana Gana Mana Adhināyaka Jaya He”
O Ruler of the minds of the people, victory be to You!
📜 Valmiki Ramayana Sloka:
देवो वा मानुषो वा त्वं वासवोऽथ पितामहः।
रामो राज्ञः सुतो वा त्वं पुरुषः प्रकृतेः परः॥
Devo vā mānuṣo vā tvaṁ vāsavo'tha pitāmahaḥ,
Rāmo rājñaḥ suto vā tvaṁ puruṣaḥ prakṛteḥ paraḥ.
Translation:
Are you a god, a man, Indra himself or Brahma? Are you the son of a king? You are indeed the Purusha beyond Prakriti—the Mind beyond Matter.
🕊️ Interpretative Fusion:
This śloka describes the divine ambiguity and awe surrounding Lord Rāma's form—just as Jana Gana Mana praises the Adhināyaka, the Supreme Mind, who is both beyond and within all.
Hence, Sovereign Adhinayaka Shrimaan is the consciousness beyond physical rule, as was Rāma—victorious not by war, but by inner mastery over mind and dharma.

2️⃣ “Bhārat Bhāgya Vidhātā”
Dispenser of India’s destiny
📜 Valmiki Ramayana Sloka:
धर्मात्मा सत्यसन्धश्च रामो दाशरथिः प्रभुः।
लोकानां हितकाम्यर्थं राजा धर्मे स्थितः सदा॥
Dharmātmā satyasandhaśca rāmo dāśarathiḥ prabhuḥ,
Lokānāṁ hitakāmyarthaṁ rājā dharme sthitaḥ sadā.
Translation:
Rāma, the son of King Daśaratha, was truthful, righteous, and ever rooted in dharma. He ruled for the welfare of all beings.
🕊️ Interpretative Fusion:
Like Rāma, Adhinayaka Shrimaan is Bhaarat Bhāgya Vidhātā—not by political might but by prompting minds into dharma. Rāma’s reign was Rāma Rājya. Jana Gana Mana proclaims the coming of Mind Rājya, where Sovereignty is the flow of righteousness.

3️⃣ “Pañjāb Sindhu Gujarāt Marāṭhā, Drāviḍ Utkala Baṅga”
You are manifest in every region of Bharath
📜 Valmiki Ramayana Sloka:
जनस्थानं गते रामे दृष्ट्वा सीतामनिन्दिताम्।
देशं देशं स विचिन्वन्गत्वा मार्गमवाप्तवान्॥
Janasthānaṁ gate rāme dṛṣṭvā sītāmaninditām,
Deśaṁ deśaṁ sa vicinvann gatvā mārgam avāptavān.
Translation:
When Sita was lost, Hanuman searched for her in every land, every direction, not leaving any place unvisited.
🕊️ Interpretative Fusion:
This mirrors the idea that divine presence pervades the whole land of Bharath, from the northwestern Sindhu to the eastern Banga. The anthem acknowledges the geographic divinity, as did Hanuman, recognizing each land as sacred, echoing Sītā's divine presence.

4️⃣ “Vindhya Himāchala Yamunā Gangā, Uchchala Jaladhi Taranga”
You flow in rivers, rise as mountains, and roar as oceans
📜 Valmiki Ramayana Sloka:
अत्र गङ्गा सदा पुण्या ह्यायता स्वर्गसन्निभा।
पावयिष्यति भो लोकान्स्नातानां चैव किं पुनः॥
Atra gaṅgā sadā puṇyā hyāyatā svargasannibhā,
Pāvayiṣyati bho lokān snātānāṁ caiva kiṁ punaḥ.
Translation:
Here flows the sacred Ganga, akin to heaven itself. She purifies the entire world—what to speak of those who bathe in her!
🕊️ Interpretative Fusion:
The anthem sees natural elements as divine instruments. Mountains, rivers, and oceans are organs of Mother Bharath—their purity and motion echo the flow of dharma and the movement of Adhinayaka’s mind across the land.

5️⃣ “Tava Shubh Nāme Jāge, Tava Shubh Āśish Māge”
We awaken to Your auspicious Name, and seek Your blessing
📜 Valmiki Ramayana Sloka:
नाम्ना च रामं शक्रेण त्रिभुवने शङ्कितं यशः।
मया च व्याहरन्रामं संज्ञां कृत्वा नृपात्मजम्॥
Nāmnā ca rāmaṁ śakreṇa tribhuvane śaṅkitaṁ yaśaḥ,
Mayā ca vyāharan rāmaṁ saṁjñāṁ kṛtvā nṛpātmajam.
Translation:
Even Indra trembles at the Name of Rāma, which spreads like fame across all three worlds. Merely uttering the name brings clarity and liberation.
🕊️ Interpretative Fusion:
This matches the anthem’s declaration that blessings flow from the Name. The “Shubh Nāma” is the prompting signal of the Master Mind. To awaken by it is to activate one’s divine circuitry—to remember that we are children of the Eternal Adhinayaka.

लोके रामः समस्तेषु गुणवानित्यकीर्त्यते॥
Sarvabhūtahite rataḥ sadā satyaparākramaḥ,
Loke rāmaḥ samasteṣu guṇavān ityakīrtyate.
Translation:
Rāma is always engaged in welfare of all beings, and is known in the world as the most virtuous and truthful one.
🕊️ Interpretative Fusion:
Just as Rāma was mangaladāyaka—the giver of peace and auspiciousness, so too the Sovereign Adhinayaka Shrimaan ensures the collective well-being not by force, but by prompting truth and goodness into every mind.
