Pradip Kumar,
                                Bharat Bhushan

How can I commit a sin of  putting  an  adjective  "Lyricist"  in
front  of a visionary ? And how can I call this stream of energy,
the eternal power, a song; even if it reveals itself in  words  ?
And  aren't  we the same Aryas who said "Shabdo Bhramha !' ? This
Sanskrut stuti is Mantra for we Bharatiya, in it's full, unedited
form.

Hemant Kumar, did a splendid job in setting the tune. It produces
all  the  thrust  and  enthusiasm in all Indians, with a sense of
pride and allowing your senses to prevail at the same  time!!  If
will and wish, both can merge, it can do wonders. [ Josh ke saath
hosh bhi apani bulandi par ho to phir kya kehane ?! ]

Although Lata's version is good too, this one sounds  divine  and
holy in Hemant's voice!

Wishing you all a Great Day!

                                                        Jai  Hind
