What the meaning of the word 'sondesh' - Is it the name of a sweet or does it mean message?

rshankar · Post by **rshankar** » 21 Jul 2008, 19:27

SondeS is the bengali way of pronouncing 'sandES' which is a message.

cienu · Post by **cienu** » 21 Jul 2008, 19:34

yes, Sondesh is also a sweet . Hence you can say "sweet" message

Sung by MSS, taught to her by Dilip Kumar Roy, son of composer

dhana dhanya pushpa bhorA,

tahar majhE achchE desh ek

o shEi shapno diyE toirI sE dEsh

emon deshti kothao khunjE pAbe nAko tumi,
o shEi shokol dEsher rAni shEi jE
amAr janmabhumi ...

Translated by Nila Kantha Chandra, with comments :

Blessed with wealth, adorned with flowers
This Mother Earth of ours,
In her midst is a nation
Most famed of all nations,
Oh that nation is made of dreams
Wrapped in memories,
You won't find a nation like this anywhere
Oh she is the queen of all nations,
She who is my motherland.

....."This is a "patriotic" song, but its like a prayer of adoration of the Creator, singing praises of all the beauties and wealth of one's motherland. It could be sung by anyone in praise of their own land. The sensibility underlying the song - is a devout and sacred one, very similar to that of St Francis of Assisi's "Canticle of the Sun"............"

A very beautiful translation - many thanks to Lakshman-ji for directing me to this gem.

Dhana dhanya pushpabhara BY Zakariya Mohyuddin

Fields of golden grains,
meadows of fragrant flowers
Two delights from earth of her many natural treasures
Nestled within is a place divine, set far above all measures
Created from dreams, anchored by memories
Nowhere else a place of such luminous glories

This the Queen of all lands on earth
This the land of my birth, the hallowed land of my birth
This place a beacon, bright as sun, moon and stars of heaven

A glowing inviting vessel under the churns of darkening skies
A magical land whose crooning birds awaken me to the morning light
And the same melodious sounds bid me into the night
Whose birds suckle nectar from blossoming flowers
Then nest underneath for their nightly shelter

The soothing serenity of its rivers that glisten
And the distant hazes of its mountains jut the horizon
Its land bursting with the glow of blooms ablaze
And fusing with the sky into an enchanted place
Its fields of grains stir as ripples of waves
Played upon by the gentle winds in their seasonal embrace

This bond that tugs, rivals love for a brother or mother
I yearn we not separate but forever stay together
This land that nourished and nurtured me from birth
How I wish this be the place of my final breath on earth.

NOTE: The thoughts and imagery in this English rendition are from Bengali lyrics by D.L. Roy “Amar Jonmo Bhumi”. I have merely provided the English words. The richness and subtleties of an original language do not transfer in translation. My attempt at translation from Bengali was to magnify the universality of stirrings shared by humanity for their individual homelands, and to convey that no one people or nation has a monopoly on those longings. That recognition perhaps can help foster better understanding among feuding nations.

The link to the earlier discussion on dhano dhanyo DOES NOT work -

Skris - I have not had ANY success in retrieving old posts from the previous rasikas. This is my third request for help.
