Coastal tour with Swamiji in Australia 2011
A poetic recitation and song celebrating the sacred nature of India and its people.
"The soil of this country is sandalwood. Every village is a land of penance."
"Every child is a child of Rām. Every girl is an image of the Goddess."
An unidentified speaker delivers a lyrical ode describing India as a spiritually potent land where every person embodies divinity and every aspect of life is sacred. The verses depict children as manifestations of Lord Rama, girls as images of the Goddess, and the nation's soil as sanctified sandalwood, blending imagery of pastoral peace, martial devotion, and flowing knowledge. The tone then shifts to a direct exhortation for the mind to bloom and endure.
