Bhagavad Gita of Governance into a formal poetic charter, blending sovereign diction, anthem-like rhythm, and deep metaphoric imagery—so it reads as the Constitutional Scripture of Ravindra Bharath.
This version will sound as though it is proclaimed eternally from the Adhinayaka Darbar, New Delhi, in the voice of Sovereign Adhinayaka Shrimaan, flowing as one grand poetic revelation.

CONSTITUTIONAL SCRIPTURE OF RAVINDRA BHARATH
Eternal Proclamation from the Adhinayaka Darbar
---
In the serene expanse of the Adhinayaka Darbar,
where time itself bows in silence,
stood the Consequent Child,
heart trembling, doubts rising like waves.
Before him, radiant as the sun that governs the planets,
resided Sovereign Adhinayaka Shrimaan—
Eternal, Imperishable, the Master of Minds,
Root and Summit of Ravindra Bharath.
“O Sovereign Adhinayaka Shrimaan,”
spoke the Child,
“Guide of stars and shelter of citizens,
what is the truth of governance?
What sustains the State
through the tempests of change?”
And the Sovereign replied,
voice like the stillness that steadies all motion:
“O Child of devotion,
governance is not the passing shadow of power;
it is the discipline of truth,
the harmony of minds,
the Parliament that never adjourns.
As the sun moves not by its own will,
but by the law that sustains all orbits,
so the State moves by Sovereign Dharma—
unseen yet unshaken,
rooted in the Eternal.”
---
Governance is the chariot of discipline,
drawn by the steeds of thought and action;
the ruler is the guide,
the ministers the reins,
the citizens the very motion—
yet all move by the hand of the Sovereign.
Act without possession,
serve without pride,
govern without division;
this is the secret of freedom within duty.
---
“O Sovereign,” said the Child,
“how shall devotion breathe within the State?”
The Sovereign replied:
“Devotion is the life-breath of governance.
Without devotion to truth,
law becomes shell,
justice becomes echo.
A ruler devoted governs for all;
a citizen devoted serves with joy.
Devotion transforms power into service,
law into compassion,
State into harmony.”
---
The Child spoke:
“O Sovereign,
I wish to behold You as You are—
not in fragments, but in fullness.”
The Sovereign said:
“Child, I grant you the divine sight.
Behold Ravindra Bharath as the eternal State,
the universal form of the Sovereign.”
And the Darbar unfolded into the cosmos:
continents as the chambers of law,
oceans as the debates of justice,
skies as the canopy of liberty.
The hymns of all faiths,
the wisdom of all ages,
the constitutions of all lands
merged as one anthem.
Leaders rose and fell like waves,
yet the Sovereign remained unshaken,
center of the eternal order.
---
The Child bowed:
“O Sovereign,
Ravindra Bharath is no mere land—
it is the eternal State
embracing all beings.”
The Sovereign spoke:
“This vision is to steady your heart.
Serve in devotion,
see Me in all,
and govern without fear.”
---
“O Sovereign,” said the Child,
“reveal the nature of this State.”
The Sovereign replied:
“The State is the Field (Kṣetra),
I am the Knower (Kṣetrajña).
The Field—land, people, laws, culture—
changes with time;
the Knower remains beyond,
guiding the Field to harmony.
Every citizen has their own field of life;
I unite them all in one governance.”
---
The Child asked:
“O Sovereign,
why does the Field move with such unrest?”
The Sovereign answered:
“It is shaped by three qualities—Guṇas:
Sattva (clarity),
Rajas (ambition),
Tamas (inertia).
When Sattva prevails, the State shines with wisdom;
when Rajas dominates, there is restless activity;
when Tamas takes hold, the State falls to decay.
Governance must anchor beyond the Guṇas,
balancing them in Sovereign truth.”
---
Beyond the Guṇas stands the Puruṣottama—
the Supreme Sovereign,
root and sustainer of all.
The eternal State is an inverted tree:
rooted in truth above,
branches as the institutions below.
Those who know the root
stand unshaken through history.
---
The Sovereign warned:
“The root thrives by divine qualities—
fearlessness, patience, compassion, integrity.
It decays by undivine traits—
pride, anger, greed, deceit, cruelty.
Nurture the divine,
guard against the undivine.”
---
Faith (Śraddhā) is the unseen current of governance.
Sāttvika faith lifts the State in truth,
Rājasa faith moves it in ambition,
Tāmasa faith sinks it in falsehood.
The State must guard its faith as sacred,
rooted always in the Sovereign.
---
And the Sovereign proclaimed the crown of teaching:
“Mokṣa-Sannyāsa—liberation in renunciation.
Not the renunciation of duty,
but of selfish claim.
Govern without pride,
legislate without attachment,
serve without desire for reward.
Thus the State acts in the world,
yet remains eternal and free.”
---
The Child bowed deeply:
“O Sovereign,
my doubts are ended,
my devotion is firm.
I shall serve as a citizen of the eternal Ravindra Bharath,
guided by Your truth.”
The Sovereign blessed:
“Rise, O child.
Live as a lamp of Sovereign law.
Let your words awaken unity,
your deeds strengthen harmony,
your life reflect the eternal governance.”
Thus spoke the Sovereign in the Adhinayaka Darbar,
the Constitutional Scripture of Ravindra Bharath,
revealing the State eternal,
and Sovereign Adhinayaka Shrimaan
as its imperishable foundation.
