Once actor Balraj Sahni asked the Nobel Laureate Rabindra Nath Tagore. You have written the National Anthem for India. Can you write an International anthem for the whole world?

He said: It has already been written which is not only international but for the entire universe, in the 16th century by Nanak, replied Tagore. He referred to the Sikh Arti (Ritual of light).

It’s said that Gurudev Tagore was so enamored of this arti that he personally translated it into Bengali.

As legend has it, in 1508 CE Guru Nanak Dev visited the famous temple of Jagannath at Puri in Orrisa, which was very well known for its arti for Lord Krishna. In the evening, priests brought a platter full of many lighted lamps, flowers, incense, and pearls and began the arti…

Guru Nanak Sahib meanwhile spontaneously gave words to the wonderful arti which was being hummed by Nature before the invisible altar of God, the creator of this universe.

A must listen with eyes closed.
