Each country uses symbols to stand apart from others.
The United States, born by the violent colonization of the land of Aleutians, lays claim to bravery and freedom at the end of its National Anthem.
The British, who originally sponsored the colonization of much of North America, focus their national symbols, and give voices to their aspirations by paeans to their Monarchy.
The French, who nurture a love-hate relationship with the British, prefer to stand by the bloody and murderous revolution which beheaded their Kings and Queens.
What about India?
Satyameva Jayate
The founders of Modern India valued truth above all else. Our National Father has written magnetically on his personal experiences with truth.
That is why our National Symbol has an inscription dedicated to truth.
Truth is also inextricably intertwined with the indigenous religions of the Indian sub-continent.
"His Name is Truth"
"He Exists as Truth Since the Beginning of Time, and Throughout the Ages".
The Sikh Gurus are unequivocal in extolling the essential and mutual bonds between truth and spirituality.
The Japji Sahib, which guides the everyday lives of devout Sikhs, accords a central place to truth, and tells us that this value is integral to the human experience.
Truth and the Japji Sahib are available in secular fashion.
Please mail UjjalJeevanCharitableTrust@gmail.com or leave a post below if you would like an English interpretation of the Japji Sahib, or to let us have the benefits of your opinions and views.
