Gandhi Jayanti

Celebrating Mahatma Gandhi's 144th birth anniversary

Gandhi Jayanti - A tribute to 'Father of the Nation'

Gandhi Jayanti or Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti is observed every year as a national holiday to commemorate the birth of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (October 2, 1869 - January 30, 1948). His non-violence or satyagraha continues to influence political leaders and movements till date. The celebration and essence of Gandhi Jayanti is not restricted within India and also observed by the United Nations as the International Day of non-violence that aims to disseminate his philosophy, principle and believe in non-violence through proper education and public awareness.

Celebration of Gandhi Jayanti is also a moment to relive Mohandas Gandhi's life and contribution in India's Independence. Born in a small coastal town Porbandar in Gujarat, Gandhi married Kasturbai Makhanji at the age of 13. His childhood memories and experiences are vividly depicted by him in his autobiography My experiments with truth. Gandhi at the age of 18 went to England to study law and returned to India in 1915. After his homecoming, he led nationwide stir for achieving Sawaraj, abolition of social evils, empowering women rights and improving economic conditions of peasants and farmers. He further strengthened his movement against the British Raj and led Indians in protesting Dandi March Salt in 1930 that was later followed by the popular Quit India in 1942 calling British to leave India.

At Raj Ghat, New Delhi, and across India, people gather to observe Gandhi Jayanti in innovative ways that includes offering flowers on Gandhi's pictures, statues and singing his favourite devotional song Raghupati Raghava Raja Ram.

The government offices, banks, schools and post offices remain closed on Gandhi Jayanti to pay homage to 'Father of the Nation'. Additionally, as a tribute to this great soul, the Indian government mint rupee notes and also issue postage stamp depicting Mahatma Gandhi's photo. In May 19, 2011 at Geneva, a 1948 10 Rupee Mahatma Gandhi stamp was auctioned for a whopping price of US $205,000 making it a world record as the most pricey modern postal stamp from any country.

Many ardent followers make effort to preserve Gandhi's belongings, works and writings through various means with the support of governments and non-profit organizations. Online portals are also acting as major contributors in preserving and providing information on Mahatma Gandhi and about Gandhi Jayanti celebration.

The significance of Gandhi Jayanti celebration transcends beyond commemorating Mahatma Gandhi's birth and his life as followers renounce violence and entirely devote themselves to Gandhi's philosophy and principles of Ahimsa i.e living a life by following non-violence.

The celebration of Gandhi Jayanti conventionally kicks off by singing prayers, offering flowers, lighting candles and garlanding Gandhiji's photo or statue. Mahatma Gandhi's life and principles has inspired lives of all ages. And if you are enthusiastic to explore more about him and Gandhi Jayanti, then Gandhi Jayanti 2013 is the right time to become familiar with his perpetual and valuable philosophy, and also his role as an architect of Indian Independence.

Gandhi Jayanti 2013 will be observed on Wednesday, October 2.

"Generations to come will scarce believe that such a man as this one ever in flesh and blood walked upon this Earth."

This is the statement written by a German-born theoretical physicist and a 1921 Nobel prize winner in the field of Physics, Mr. Albert Einstein on the occasion of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi's 70th birthday in 1939. So truly said by the finest scientist that the world has "produced" for the finest Leader that once walked on this "Earth". On this day, October 2nd, 2013 let's remember this great soul, "Mahatma" who taught the world that you can always conquer bad with good, & violence with non-violence.

A true human and a perfect Hindu followed the path of Bhakti Yoga, Jyan Yoga and Karma Yoga. Freedom fighters of the world like Martin Luther King Jr of USA, Nelson Mandela of South Africa followed his path of non-violence for their civil right movements. As the writer of this song says,

"lekin jo phaani duniya mein amar kahaane aate hai
woh kab maya moh mein phanskar apna samaa ganwaate hain"

Gandhiji, being a true Karma Yogi, never worked for any name or fame.

Let's pay tribute to "Our Bapu" by following his path of virtue, truth and non-violence. Few quotes by him-

There are many causes that I am prepared to die for but no cause that I am prepared to kill for.

Nonviolence is the first article of my faith. It is also the last article of my creed.

Truth alone will endure, all the rest will be swept away before the tide of time.

Various sites on the internet mention that this song, which can be called as a "Homage to Bapu" is written by Rajinder Krishna, Composed by Husnlal Bhagatram and sung by Mohd. Rafi with his expressive voice.

According to Wikipedia info- "In 1948, after the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi, the team of Husanlal Bhagatram-Rajendra Krishan-Rafi had overnight created the song Suno suno ae duniyawalon, Bapuji ki amar kahani. He was invited by the Indian Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru to sing at the latter's house. In 1948, Rafi received a silver medal from Nehru on the Indian Independence Day."

suno suno aye duniya waalon Bapu ki ye amar kahaani
woh Bapu jo pujya hai itna jitna Ganga maa ka paani
suno suno aye duniya waalon Bapu ki ye amar kahani
Porbandar Gujarat desh mein ek rishi ne janam liya
maat pitah ne Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi naam diya
bachpan khelkood mein gujra London jaakar vidya payee
barristor ban Africa mein jaakar apni dhaak jamaayee
lekin jo phaani duniya mein amar kahaane aate hai
woh kab maaya moh mein phanskar apna samaa ganwaate hai
suno suno aye duniya waalon Bapu ki ye amar kahaani

Africa mein Hindi jan ki badi durdasha payee
gore raaj se takkar lekar satya ki jyot jalaayee
phir Bharat ki seva karne apne desh mein aaya
Sabarmati mein satyaagrah ka aashram aan banaaya
aur khilafat kranti prant mein sabhapati ka darjah paya
Islami adhikaar ki raksha mein bhi haath bataya
Hindu Muslim dono uski aankhon ke taare thhe
duniya ke saare hi mazhab Bapu ko pyaare the
suno suno aye duniya waalon Bapu ki ye amar kahani

Bharat kaumi Congress ki aisi dhoom machaayee
kaumi jhande ke neeche phir janta daudi aayee
khadi ka parchaar kiya phir ghar ghar khaadi aayee
aur bideshi maal ki holi Gandhi ne jalwaayee
charkhe ki awaaz jo goonjee huyee machine thandee
aur shaan se lahraayee Bharat ki trirangee jandee
suno suno aye duniya waalon Bapu ki ye amar kahani
woh bapu jo pujya hai itna jitna Ganga maa ka paani
suno suno aye duniya waalon Bapu ki ye amar kahani

suno suno aye duniya waalon Bapu ki ye amar kahaani
phir puran swaraaj ka naara jaala aur pukara
azaadi ka veer sipahee kabhi na himmat haara
phir daandi par jaakar apane haathon namak banaaya
saare desh ko satyagrah ka sundar sabak padhaya
Bharatwasi japate the phir Gandhi naam ki mala
chaalish karod dilon mein chhaya ek langoti wala
suno suno aye duniya waalon Bapu ki ye amar kahani

sachhai ka atal pujari jisne kabhi na himmat haari
sarkaari kanoon todkar duniya ke aaram chhod kar
desh ki khatir jail gaya aur apne sukh par khel gaya
suno suno aye duniya waalon bapu ki ye amar kahani

harijano ka maan badhaane ki khatir brat rakhha
Gandhi ne duniya ke aage ek naya mat rakhha
gaam gaam mein harijano ki haalat dekhi bhaali
harijan naam se harisevak ne ik akhbaar nikaali
congress ki baagdor phir veer Jawahar ko dekar
shuru kiya bapu ne apna gram sudhar ka chakkar
suno suno aye duniya waalon Bapu ki ye amar kahani

ek nayee awaaz jo aayee shuru huyi ik nayee ladayee
goonjha phir bapu ka naara chhodo Hindustan hamara
chhodo Hindustan hamara
phir aayi ik jail yatra jailon se kab darta tha woh
azaadi ka parwana thaa azaadi par marta tha woh
suno suno aye duniya waalon Bapu ki ye amar kahani
woh bapu jo pujya hai itna jitana Ganga maa ka paani
suno suno aye duniya waalon bapu ki ye amar kahani

suno suno aye duniya waalon bapu ki ye amar kahani
jail ke andar honi ne phir apana teer chalaaya
bapuji ki ardhangi ko ant bulawa aaya
jail ke andar khamoshi se deviji ki chita jalayee
janta apnni maa ke antim darshan bhi karne na payee
suno suno aye duniya waalon bapu ki ye amar kahaani

Hindu Muslim ke seenon mein phir bhadki nafarat ki jwaala
jisko dekh ke dukhi huaa Quran aur Geeta ka matwaala
Nawankhali mein khoon ki holi haiwano ne kheli
dayaa ki murat bapu se ye peeda gayee na jelee
tan pe langoti haath mein danda hothon pe thi prem ki baani
nagar nagar paidal phirta tha assee saal ka boodha praani
suno suno aye duniya waalon bapu ki ye amar kahani

sun saintaalish pandrah agast ko azaadi ka din jab aaya
apne desh mein apana zanda dhoom dhaam se lehraya
lekin us din pyara bapu bharat ka ujiyara bapu
door Dilli se Nawankhali mein kamjoron ki rakhwali mein
apni jaan ladaaye tha aur apana aap chupaye tha
suno suno aye duniya waalon bapu ki ye amar kahani

Kalkatte mein phir brat rakhha hindu muslim ko samjaane
bapu ka ye chamatkar tha samaj gaye dono deewane

Kalkatte e se Dilli aakar us nagri ka maan badhaya
saanj sawere ramnaam ka birla ghar mein diya jalaya
Raghupati Raghav rajaram Ishwar Allah tere naam
bapu ka aadhar yahin tha bapu ka parchaar yahin tha
suno suno aye duniya waalon Bapu ki ye amar kahani
woh bapu jo pujya hai itana jitana ganga maa ka paani
suno suno aye duniya waalon Bapu ki ye amar kahani

suno suno aye duniya waalon bapu ki ye amar kahani
woh bapu jo pujya hai itna jitana ganga maa ka paani
suno suno aye duniya waalon bapu ki ye amar kahani

tees janwari shaam ko bapu Birla ghar se baahar aaye
praarthna asthaan ki jaanib dheere dheere kadam badhaaye
lekin us din honi apna roop badalkar aayee
aur ahinsa ke seene par hinsa ne goli barsaayee
bapu ne kaha Raam Raam aur jag se kiya kinaara
Raam ke mandir mein jaa pahuncha Shri Raam ka pyaara

jao bapu jao bapu rahega naam tumhaara
jab tak chamke chaand sitaare chamke kaam tumhaara
Bapu tumne praan diye aur maut ki shaan badhaayee
tumne apna khoon diya aur prem ki jyot jalaayee

jai Bapu ki jai Gandhi ki bolo sab jan jai Gandhi
jis ne hindi muslim mein ik dor pyar ki bandhi
yaad rahe bapu ki kahani bhool naa is ko jaayen hum
bapu ne jo diya jalaaya uski jyot badhaaye hum
jai Bapu ki jai Gandhi ki bolo sab jan jai Gandhi
jai Bapu ki jai Gandhi ki bolo sab jan jai Gandhi
