Part Two - The Nation And Its Problems
IX. Our Motherland
Our glorious motherland-An ancient concept-Britishers’ hand in subverting it-Hoary descriptions of Bharat, Himalayas-The complete picture-Chosen land of God Realisation-Patriotism spiritualised-Its living tradition.
This is our sacred land, Bharat, a land whose glories are sung by the gods -

(The men born in the land of Bharat, the gateway to heavens and salvation, are more blessed than the gods themselves-so sing the gods.)
A land visualised by Mahayogi Aurobindo as the living manifestation of the Divine Mother of the universe, the Jaganmata, the Adishakti, the Mahamaya and the Mahadurga, Who has assumed concrete form to enable us to see Her and worship Her,
A land eulogised by our philosopher-poet Rabindranath Tagore as:

(The enchanting Goddess of the world... ... ... ... .. Her feet washed by the blue waters of the oceans),
A land saluted by the inspired poet of freedom, Bankim Chandra, in his immortal song Vande Mataram, which spurred thousands of young hearts to cheerfully ascend the gallows in the cause of her liberty, as
Roa fg nqxkZ n'kizgj.k/kkfj.khe~
(Thou art the Great Destroyer armed with ten weapons),
A land worshipped by all our seers and sages as Matrubhoomi, Dharmabhoomi, Karmabhoomi and punyabhoomi, a veritable Devabhoomi and Mokshabhoomi,
A land which has been to us since hoary times the beloved and sacred Bharat Mata whose very name floods our hearts with waves of pure and sublime devotion to her,
Well, this is the mother of us all, our glorious motherland.
