National Anthem
                                                                                                 Some time people do not try to find out why and for which reasons the National Anthem of the Country is being played at the very important national program. It is played to  show the respect to the County on  whose soil one live, one progress, and prosper thereon. The National Anthem reflects the  Patriotism and Loyalty to the country .
                                   However proper decorum and discipline has to be observed when national anthem is being played. One has to be in attention position without making any moments when National Anthem is being played. Some people do not know how to stand and stop making movement when the National Anthem is on.  Angela Merkel, Chancellor, Germany recently visited India. she had back problem and cannot stand for long time.  German government officially requested Indian government to exempt her from standing when the National Anthem is being played i.e. On Health Ground. It shows how much importance is being carried by the  National Anthems.

                                  Every Independent Country has its own National Anthem which describes the glory and greatness of concerned country. The Indian National Anthem is written by Ravindranath  Tagore.  Once Balraj Sahani, Film Star asked Ravindranath Tagore to write  Anthem for the Universe and he  replied that ' Guru Nanakdevji  has already written the same'. Ravindranath Tagore translated the same in Bengali.  Guru Nanakdevji described therein the beauty and glory of Universe and its Creator. It was written when he visited Temple of Jagannath at Puri,Orissa.   Following is the extract of it.

"The sky is your Platter
 The Sun and Moon are the Lamp
 Stars in the Galaxy are the Pearls
 The Essence of the Sandalwood
 Is the fragrance that the Wind propels
The whole Forest is your Banquet of flower
You are a Destroyer of fear
The Sound of your Name
 Which is so Subtle
That it goes unheard, resounds endlessly
You have a thousands Eyes, Forms, Feet, Noses
 You have none  I am Charmed.
Your  light enlighten us All"
