Collected Works of Nolini Kanta Gupta - Vol. 6

FORWARD! ... March on, ever forward!

Mother's army we are! On to the battle for her final self-revealing!

If ourselves we do not fall back,

Who can stop our drive?

We are the bridge between earth and heaven, God's labour fulfilled.

Hard is the path, ever harder, but on we go with energy undaunted:

'We shall seize the all-swallower and lay him low at the feet of the All-victorious!

We shall never fail,

We spring from the Mother's Force:

On we drive over towering boulders of danger and difficulty!

Mother is our Home of Joy, Mother our Mantra;

Victory is ours, sleepless we shall battle and bring to Her the Victory.

We hurl our darts into the heart of age and death,

With steps unfaltering we march onward,

High we hoist the Mother's Flag, victorious and flaming over the world!

Aruna Devi
