National Anthem(..There are hundreds of such FAQs in the book titled 'The Great Hindu Tradition) Qn. ‘Jana gana mana’ and ‘Vande mataram’ are our national songs now, but these are of recent origin. Is there an older national song that Vedas contain? Ans. The Vedas contain a beautiful hymn that probably had the status of a national anthem. I am referring to the section that begins “Aabrahman braahmano brahma varchasee jaayataamâ€. The meaning is as follows : “May this country have people who are learned in the Vedas and who shine with brahma tejas. May Kings rule with good armoury and increasing productivity of the land. May cows and other animals prosper. May women be modern and keep themselves up to date. May the seasonal rains be abundant and result in rich growth of crops. May all our countrymen and women live happy and prosperous lives.†Attachments:
