Vande Mataram would have been the National Anthem, but similar sentiments which are dampening the 'centenary celebrations' of the song today led to its designation as the National Song 'honored equally with Jana Gana Mana' and having 'equal status with it.' In school we preferred singing the National Anthem over the Song, not because of some personal or religious reservations, but because Tagore's composition was easier to our untuned vocal chords, than Bankim Chandra's. Many people think differently about this song. Some say that it is the patriotic duty of all Indians to proudly sing the song, whenever they are directed to; others feel that it goes against the principle of their religion. A few like me, say that you can't beat a feeling into someone, nor does singing a song become the ultimate symbol or display of one's love for the country one holds the citizenship of. We are not an authoritarian nation, we shouldn't issue dictates. Religion before nation or nation before religion, the debate will go on.

And so many composers and singers have had their own renditions ever since. From Ranindranath Tagore to AR Rehman, this song had stirred the creative souls of many and therefore there are more versions of the song than dissenting ideological stances on the song. This post isn't about the 'centenary celebrations,' it is in celebration of a song (and its multifarious renderings) which has a distinct appeal about it.

It is India's true song of revolution and this post attempts to compile the various colours with which creative Indians (and others) have painted the lyric with (An informative article by Suresh Chandvankar, from the Society of Indian Record Collectors is available ). Whether September 7 is of historic importance or not, is insignificant. Vande Mataram!

English translation by (Aurobindo Akroyd Ghose). I bow to thee, Mother, richly-watered, richly-fruited, cool with the winds of the south, dark with the crops of the harvests, The Mother! Her nights rejoicing in the glory of the moonlight, her lands clothed beautifully with her trees in flowering bloom, sweet of laughter, sweet of speech, The Mother, giver of boons, giver of bliss.

Thanks for the translation.Getting it was the agenda for tonight.Didn't realise it would be a one stop over.I am also amazed at how many sources you have put together.Awesome effort at that.Having heard Vande Mataram, AIR version for 18 years of my life every morning before heading for school,I am still moved by it. Great collection man.thats one hell of an effort.Great post!! *its a very nice song,why do we need to destroy its beauty by enforcing it* said. Good research!!! I like this song immensely!!

To some extent it's because of the sweet sanskrit language. And whenever I hear this.it makes me kinda nostalgic. It reminds me of the parade we did on 50th independence day of India. All of us from our school were walking in the parade singing the patriotic songs to writer's building and there we joined the celebration.

Certain times, when in lonely evening while taking a walk in our terrace, I get overwhelmed by the natural beauty.I started singing.VANDE MATARAM said. This is a unifying song portraying the spirit of India. Sad that in its 100th year, we are just ending up dishonoring it in various ways. Anonymous said. Thats a great work.

A compilation of electronica versions of Vande Mataram. An exhaustive FAQ on Vandemataram in Outlook. I cant wait for the Himesh version.

Great work again! That is an awesome compilation. My friend had compiled some last year though not as big a list as yours. [external blog link] I learnt the full version (the original!) when I was a kid. When it was sung in full during the recent congress session, many leaders expressed great surprise.

In fact we should all retrospect on why we chose to precis it in the first place and then later rediscover it. Thanks again. My personal favorite take of Vande Mataram was done by Ilaiyaraja in the movie 'Kaala Paani', Priyadarshan's epic movie starring Mohanlal, set in the jails of Andaman & Nicobar during the freedom struggle. The arrangemen/ vocal harmonies make this an exquisite number. The lyrics, if I remember right, were written by Javed Akhtar. I wish I had a mp3 (I do have the Tamil version, but sadly enough, it was done as a solo by Mano that pales in comparison to the Hindi version) said. Thanks for this fantastic collection.

Its great listening to these different versions but my favorite is the one from Ananda Math. Anonymous said. My favourite is the Anand Math version. AR Rehmans interpretation comes next. संजय बेंगाणी said. आपने अच्छा कार्य किया हैं. काफी उपयोगी जानकारी जुटाई हैं.

Paavani said. Very informative.

Most of version I didn’t hear. I like A R rahman one. A lovely read, I must admit for myself this was a rather informative post as I don't really know much about the Indian anthem or national song. But I must say each time i hear this song it touches the soul, and thanks for all the different versions to the song:) Rajesh Segu said.

Thanks for all these valuable post. I never could have found it anywhere at a single spot. I have no words to actually express my emotions. Rajesh Segu said.

You sure have done your research. Thank you for that - enjoyed reading it! Am downloading some of them now.:) at the risk of sounding extremely naive, why do 'others feel that it goes against the principle of their religion'? The song seems to have nothing to do with religion? 'We are not an authoritarian nation, we shouldn't issue dictates.' But we are Indians ji. It's in our GENES to tell others what to do/our opinions on things that don't concern us.;) but yeah, i agree with you.

The debate shall, of course, continue. PS - thank you for the blogroll too!

Dr.Deekshitulu said. Thanks for the great work done. Most of the tunes are not the actual original tune.

I request you to put the full version of Vande mataram in the tune sung by every Indian on NET. Educatedunemployed I too heard the AIR version after years. And it bought back pleasant memories. BVN You're right.

Enforcement brings about resistance. This isn't the way out. Dwaipayan Vande Mataram or Bande Mataram isn't exactly Sanskrit, rather it is in heavily Sanskritised Bangla, what is known as Sadhu Bhasha (Language of Sages). Appu Attempting to inject petty politics in patriotism spoils things. Anonymous 1 Thanks for the links. I wouldn't want the nasal irritant to lay his hands (or nose or whatever) on the song.

Yadbhavishya I had a feeling that I couldn't be the first to attempt at such a compilation. Glad that you proved my hunch right. Thanks for the links. I've borrowed one for the post. Manoj That's one that I missed (there'll be many more).

Thanks for the link. Ilayaraja is one of the best in the business that we have. Raj Hemant Kumar definitely did a good job of it. Anonymous 2 Rehman's voice in the song has an intensity about it, and that multiplies the feeling. Sanjay Your comment is the first ever that this blog received in Hindi written in Devanagri (most, including me, take the easy way out writing in Roman). I will always cherish this. Paavani Rehman is GOOD.

San It was very informative for me too compiling this whole thing. Rajesh Thanks for the appreciation. It is what that keeps me going. Sunrise Well, the song does have 'something' to do with religion, it's only that things tend to get blown out of proportion. Genetics always has a role to play, but now we have started playing with genes too.

Dr.Deekshitulu I'm looking for that. Will post a link.

Soumyadip, is it?? I have read loads of sadhubhasha. Even I tried the bankimchandra novels and vidyasagar.

But no where I found it as sanskritarian as vande mataram!! Are u sure it's not totaly sanskrit?? Anyway, who cares?? Be it sanskrit or sadhubhasa. My feelings about the song will remain unchanged.

Hi a wonderful collection. Would you by any chance have Dilip Roy's rendition? Kanchan Gupta, Delhi. Soumyadip, वन्दे मातरम, VANDEY MATRUM, Thanks a lot for discribing about this great song so beautifully,and giving regard for patriotism. I find this post as:- 1.A great Research work. 2.YOu being a real patriotic person. 3.This how a Journalist's analaysis for any subject is different from a common man, as you have uploaded various versions of VANDEY MATRUM.

Hats off to your knowledge and analysis. Finally I can only express in my style, ho jab dil me lagan, desh per qurbaan kyoon naa jaayen hum, har dil, ye gaaye fasaana.VANDEY VANDEY MATRUM. -regards, Renu.

Thank you for your efforts in compiling such a wonderful collection. One version which (I think) is not included here is the rendition in the movie The Making of the Mahatma, with music by Vanraj Bhatia. Has anyone here heard this? If you know an online source, please do post a link! Thanks, Pramod. Hi Guys, I wanted to lookup the lyrics and the translation of this one for sometime. Finally found the time.

It is no doubt a great song and I have heard atleast three versions of it, the AIR one, the AR Rehman one and the one that was used in the movie Anand Math (i think sung by Lata Mageshkar). Just wanted to say the following. Everytime I hear the Anand Math version.something happens.my heart beat does go up.maybe I am just a romantic bong. But it does stir feelings in me.and I wouldn't even rate myself as overly patriotic. No other version (the AIR or AR Rehman) nor the National Anthem evoke these feelings in me. Did you know that Jan Gana Man was actually written in honour of some brit royalty (forget who it was) visiting India. I wonder why our wise leaders chose Jan Gana Man over Vande Mataram as our National Anthem.

Anyways.thanks Soumyadip. Great effort. Delphi Serialize. Anonymous said. Could any one send me the video of AR rehman's 'Maa tujhe salaam' or tell me from where i can download it from?

Thanks a lot dost.it has been my first diwali out side india and boy did'nt i miss it.i dont give a sh** if people use my vande mataram as political or communal weapon.it still remains the song that makes me proud of my country.

I will still sing my national anthem for love of my country. In case u dont know.if Jan Gan man is our National Anthem, vande matram is our national song. Perhaps Rahman should do a Jan Gan Man now.

Somehow, through all the versions that almost 'clutter' the concept of the song, the one that most appeals the first version. Simply for the fact that the first stanza is easy for most to sing. But of all the versions, some of which i heard for the first time, thanks to the post, the one by Lata for Anandmath defines Vande Mataram to me. Although, being the south indian, i equally love MS's version in tamil. Great job, by the way. This comment has been removed by the author.

I've fixed the link. Look for the 'Download National Song' link to the right in the landing page. Anonymous said. Beautiful compilation, but there is still one version by a female singer (dont know who, though i strongly believe its shreya ghoshal), probably a non film version, which was constantly being aired on all fm channels about 1-3 years ago. It was a brilliant remake, with a different twist to the original tune.

I just cant find it anywhere. Dont have much leads, but can anyone help me find it? The only clue i have is it was a rage on the FM channels a while ago. Anonymous I am not aware of the version. But will try to look for it. Thanks for the tip. Anonymous said.

Thanks so much! I was looking for rehman's revival version which i got from here.

Krishna said. Anonymous Glad to be of some help. Hello, I am an American adoptive parent of two Indian kids and want them to learn about their heritage. It has not been hard for them to learn Jana Gana Mana but this one is harder for all of us. I spent a long time researching the song on the internet and your post is the most comprehensive one I've found. I really appreciate all your links and your post about your own experience with Vande Mataram.

I downloaded the official version and AR Rahman's. You might be getting a few more hits as I let other parents know about it! Thanks for leaving this post up and for taking good care of the links! Anonymous said. Research work. You indeed have a fantastic collection. I'm searching for a version of 'Vande Mataram' which I heard on the FM radio on independence day few years back.

It was completely sung by a lady (Not Lata ji) and in a very different tune than the original. That I am longing to hear once again but I do not have any more clues.

Wish you luck if you ever chance upon that. Its a wonderful compilation.I was looking for downloading Vande Mataram from Anand Math by Lata Mangeshkar, but its not working somehow. Any problem with that? Superb research. Shankar said.

All, the unknown female singer is Kaushiki Chakravarthy. Check her version in the songs Tarana and Taranga from the Album Vande Mataram Vol.2 Cheers, Shankar.
