Bharat Mata Quotes

“Wikipedia: Bharat Mata”

“Bhabananda replied, “We recognize no other mother. ‘One’s mother and birthland are greater than heaven itself.’ But we say that our birthland is our mother. We’ve no mothers, fathers, brothers, friends, no wives, children, houses, or homes. All we have is she who is rich in waters, rich in fruit, cooled with the southern airs, verdant with the harvest fair.””

“Satyendranath's younger brother, Jyotirindranath's poem composed for the Mela the same year ('Rise! 0 rise! children of Bharat') returned to the theme of resistance by portraying Mother India where she is
Sickly and withered, a body of skin and bones,While the mighty demons Subjection and Ignorance
Suck her blood and wound her soul
And selfish Disunity, the monstrous fiend
Her fair body into fragments doth hack!
...Behold, the mother sits captive
In ignorant darkness, with feet and hands shackled.”
