In the school I used to lead the prayers everyday. There was a platform with few steps. In the prayer there was a song which ran as follows.

Aharaha tava ahvahana pracharita,

suni tava udar vani,

Hindu-Buddha-Sikha-Jaina-Parasika

Musalmana-Christiani.

Puraba-Paschim aasey, tava simhasana pashe,

Prema-haara gaatha,

Jana-gana-aikya-vidhayak, jaya-hey,

Bharat-bhagya-vidhata!

Jaya hey, jaya hey, jaye hey; jaya jaya jaya jaya hey!!.

Even in those days there was the recognition of the oneness of all religions. Some of the teachers used to wonder how this boy was propagating the unity of all religions. (GG, p. 33)

The English translation of the song is:

‘Moment to moment, Thy clarion call resounds,

Hearing the magnanimous words,

The Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, Parsees, Muslims and Christians,

Come to thy throne, from East and West, Making the garland of Love,

Hail to Thee who unites all humanity!

Hail to Thee who controls the destiny of Bharat

Hai to Thee! Hail to Thee!
