"ಜಯ ಭಾರತ ಜನನಿಯ ತನುಜಾತೆ,
ಜಯ ಹೇ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಮಾತೆ!

ಜಯ ಸುಂದರ ನದಿ ವನಗಳ ನಾಡೇ,
ಜಯ ಹೇ ರಸಋಷಿಗಳ ಬೀಡೆ!

ಜಯ ಭಾರತ ಜನನಿಯ ತನುಜಾತೆ,
ಜಯ ಹೇ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಮಾತೆ!

ಭೂದೇವಿಯ ಮಕುಟದ ನವಮಣಿಯೆ,
ಗಂಧದ ಚಂದದ ಹೊನ್ನಿನ ಗಣಿಯೆ;
ರಾಘವ ಮಧುಸೂಧನರವತರಿಸಿದ

ಭಾರತ ಜನನಿಯ ತನುಜಾತೆ !
ಜಯ ಭಾರತ ಜನನಿಯ ತನುಜಾತೆ,
ಜಯ ಹೇ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಮಾತೆ!

ಜನನಿಯ ಜೋಗುಳ ವೇದದ ಘೋಷ,
ಜನನಿಗೆ ಜೀವವು ನಿನ್ನಾವೇಶ,
ಹಸುರಿನ ಗಿರಿಗಳ ಸಾಲೇ,
ನಿನ್ನಯ ಕೊರಳಿನ ಮಾಲೆ,
ಕಪಿಲ ಪತಂಜಲ ಗೌತಮ ಜಿನನುತ,
ಭಾರತ ಜನನಿಯ ತನುಜಾತೆ !
ಜಯ ಹೇ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಮಾತೆ!

ಜಯ ಭಾರತ ಜನನಿಯ ತನುಜಾತೆ,
ಜಯ ಹೇ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಮಾತೆ!

ಶಂಕರ ರಾಮಾನುಜ ವಿದ್ಯಾರಣ್ಯ,
ಬಸವೇಶ್ವರ ಮಧ್ವರ ದಿವ್ಯಾರಣ್ಯ
ರನ್ನ ಷಡಕ್ಷರಿ ಪೊನ್ನ,
ಪಂಪ ಲಕುಮಿಪತಿ ಜನ್ನ
ಕುಮಾರವ್ಯಾಸರ ಮಂಗಳ ಧಾಮ,
ಕವಿ ಕೋಗಿಲೆಗಳ ಪುಣ್ಯಾರಾಮ
ನಾನಕ ರಾಮಾ ನಂದ ಕಬೀರರ

ಜಯ ಹೇ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಮಾತೆ!
ಜಯ ಭಾರತ ಜನನಿಯ ತನುಜಾತೆ,
ಜಯ ಹೇ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಮಾತೆ!

ತೈಲಪ ಹೊಯ್ಸಳರಾಳಿದ ನಾಡೇ,
ಡಂಕಣ ಜಕಣರ ನೆಚ್ಚಿನ ಬೀಡೆ
ಕೃಷ್ಣ ಶರಾವತಿ ತುಂಗಾ,
ಕಾವೇರಿಯ ವರ ರಂಗಾ
ಚೈತನ್ಯ ಪರಮಹಂಸ ವಿವೇಕರ,

ಭಾರತ ಜನನಿಯ ತನುಜಾತೆ !
ಜಯ ಹೇ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಮಾತೆ!
ಜಯ ಭಾರತ ಜನನಿಯ ತನುಜಾತೆ,
ಜಯ ಹೇ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಮಾತೆ!

ಸರ್ವ ಜನಾಂಗದ ಶಾಂತಿಯ ತೋಟ,
ರಸಿಕರ ಕಂಗಳ ಸೆಳೆಯುವ ನೋಟ
ಹಿಂದೂ ಕ್ರೈಸ್ತ ಮುಸಲ್ಮಾನ,
ಪಾರಸಿಕ ಜೈನರುದ್ಯಾನ
ಜನಕನ ಹೋಲುವ ದೊರೆಗಳ ಧಾಮ,
ಗಾಯಕ ವೈಣಿಕರಾರಾಮ
ಕನ್ನಡ ನುಡಿ ಕುಣಿದಾಡುವ ಗೇಹ,
ಕನ್ನಡ ತಾಯಿಯ ಮಕ್ಕಳ ದೇಹ

ಭಾರತ ಜನನಿಯ ತನುಜಾತೆ,
ಜಯ ಹೇ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಮಾತೆ
ಜಯ ಸುಂದರ ನದಿ ವನಗಳ ನಾಡೇ,
ಜಯ ಹೇ ರಸಋಷಿಗಳ ಬೀಡೆ!
ಜಯ ಭಾರತ ಜನನಿಯ ತನುಜಾತೆ,
ಜಯ ಹೇ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಮಾತೆ!"

 

Karnataka Anthem - 

"Victory to you Mother Karnataka, the daughter of Mother India! Hail the land of beautiful rivers and forests, hail the abode of saints! You are a new jewel in the crown of Goddess Earth, mine of beautiful gold and sandal. Victory to you Mother Karnataka the daughter of Mother India where Rama and Krishna had their incarnations.

Resonance of the Vedas is your Mother’s lullaby for you, and your fervor is Her life. Rows of green mountains are your necklaces. Victory to you Mother Karnataka, the daughter of Mother India who is hailed by Kapila, Patañjali, Gautama and Jina.

You are a sacred forest where Shankara, Ramanuja, Vidyaranya, Basaveswara and Madhva dwelt. You are the holy abode where Ranna, Shadakshari, Ponna, Pampa, Lakshmisa and Janna were born. You are the blessed resting place of many a poet-nightingales. Victory to Mother Karnataka, the daughter of Mother India the progenitor of Nanak, Ramananda and Kabir.

This is the land ruled (in the past) by Tailapa and Hoysalas, and affectionate hometown for Dankana and Jakkana. This land is the blessed stage for Krishna, Sharavathi, Tunga and Kaveri. Victory to you Mother Karnataka, the daughter of Mother India of Chaitanya, Paramahamsa and Swami Vivekananda.

Garden of peace for all communities, a sight that allures the connoisseurs, the garden where the Hindus, Christians, Muslims, Parsis and the Jains (grow); the palace of many kings that are like Janaka; the place for singers and musicians; the body of the children of Mother Kannada—the house where Kannada Tongue plays in joy. Victory to you Mother Karnataka, the daughter of Mother India. Hail the land of beautiful rivers and forests, hail the abode of rasarishis!"

Remembering Aluru Venkata Rao - Kannada Rajyothsava special

Kannada Rajyothsava is a day of celebration and pride for the people of Karnataka. It marks the formation of the state on November 1, 1956, when all the Kannada-speaking regions of South India were merged into one entity. On this occasion, we  share a story of one of the pioneers of the Kannada unification movement, Aluru Venkata Rao.

Aluru Venkata Rao was born on July 18, 1880, in Kolar district. He was a scholar, writer, historian, and freedom fighter. He was deeply influenced by the ideals of Bal Gangadhar Tilak and Sri Aurobindo. He joined the Indian National Congress and participated in the freedom struggle. He also founded the Karnataka Sahitya Parishat, a literary organization that promoted Kannada literature and culture.

But his most lasting contribution was his vision of a united Karnataka. He wrote a book called Karnataka Gatha Vaibhava in 1909, which narrated the glorious history and culture of the Kannada land and people. He also coined the term Karnatakatva, meaning the essence of being a Kannadiga. He appealed to the people to rise above their regional and caste differences and unite under one flag and one language.

He traveled across the Kannada-speaking regions and organized public meetings, rallies, and conferences to spread his message. He also formed the Karnataka Ekikarana Samiti, a committee that campaigned for the unification of Karnataka. He faced many challenges and opposition from the British government, the Nizam of Hyderabad, and some local leaders who feared losing their power and influence. But he did not give up his dream.

 

Finally, his efforts bore fruit when the States Reorganisation Act was passed in 1956, which reorganized the Indian states on linguistic basis. On November 1, 1956, the new state of Mysore (later renamed as Karnataka in 1973) was formed by merging the Kannada-speaking areas of Bombay Presidency, Madras Presidency, Hyderabad State, and Coorg. Aluru Venkata Rao was honored as the chief guest at the inaugural ceremony of the state.

Aluru Venkata Rao passed away on February 25, 1964, at the age of 83. He is remembered as the Karnataka Kulapurohita, meaning the chief priest of Karnataka. His statue stands at the Vidhana Soudha, the seat of the state legislature. His book Karnataka Gatha Vaibhava is considered as a sacred text by many Kannadigas. His life and work inspire millions of people to cherish their language and culture.
