वेदा वाले ऋषिया तेरी

O Mahrishi Dayanand, you are without equal. None can compare to you. You have done wonders for the world. You are the greatest Sage of the Vedas!

Oh! How many times has the world tried to poison you, to attack you, and to stop you? Yet, despite all the challenges, you delivered the Vedas to us. O Maharishi, you took the thorns from the world and made flowers bloom for everyone.

Your Satyarth Prakash erased all the superstitions and darkness and has yielded the secrets for purifying the mind. You showed everyone the path of the Vedas and brought the light of wisdom and happiness to a world filled with darkness of ignorance.

You were the first to lead such a social and national revolution, and you were the first to explain the importance of Swaraaj. You truly cared for your country and the world at large.

You gave us all the light of wisdom. You ensured that the world could willingly sip the nectar of the Vedas. Your sage voice of reason and wisdom was heard all around the world.

Alas, when you left us, we again became like dust on earth, losing our values. Our salutations to you, O Maharishi Dayanand. Infinite salutations to you.

The noble people of the world greet you humbly, O Maharishi Dayanand. And in our greetings and salutations, the earth, the vast space, and all of creation – from all directions – bow to you and sing your praise.
