Just hours before the year-long celebration of 150 years of Vande Mataram started by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a big dispute broke out between BJP and Congress over this song. BJP seriously accused Congress of presenting Vande Mataram in a ‘historical distortion’.

What allegations did BJP make?
BJP spokesperson CR Kesavan said that in 1937, under the chairmanship of Pandit Nehru, Congress had adopted a shorter version of Vande Mataram and deliberately removed the lines in which Goddess Durga was praised. He also said that Vande Mataram was the voice of unity and patriotism of the country, but Congress made a historical mistake by linking it with religion.

New controversy citing Nehru’s letter
Kesavan referred to a letter written by Nehru to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose in 1937 and said that Nehru had described the background of Vande Mataram as ‘disturbing’ for the Muslim community. He said Nehru had called the song ‘not suitable’ as a national anthem and described the association with the goddess as ‘absurd’. According to Kesavan, this was a historical mistake that weakened its national symbolic importance.

BJP targets Rahul Gandhi on the pretext of Nehru
Kesavan also alleged that Nehru’s ‘anti-Hindu mentality’ is being repeated in Rahul Gandhi’s statements today. He said that Rahul Gandhi had recently hurt the sentiments of crores of devotees by calling Chhath Puja a ‘drama’.

Congress’s counterattack: RSS-BJP do not sing Vande Mataram themselves
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge hit back and said that those who today call themselves protectors of nationalism, i.e. RSS and BJP, never sang Vande Mataram or Jana Gana Mana in their branches and offices. Kharge said that these organizations only sing the song ‘Namaste Sada Vatsale’, which is a praise of the organization and not of the country.

Kharge’s sharp attack on RSS
Kharge said that RSS had supported the British during the independence movement and did not even hoist the national flag for 52 years. He alleged that the RSS insulted the Indian Constitution, burnt the effigies of Gandhiji and Ambedkar, and that Sardar Patel had also linked the RSS to Gandhiji’s assassination.

PM Modi starts national celebration series of 150 years of Vande Mataram
Amidst these political allegations, Prime Minister Narendra Modi started the year-long national celebration of 150 years of Vande Mataram at Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium in New Delhi. He also released a commemorative postage stamp and coin on this occasion. This event will run from 7 November 2025 to 7 November 2026 and will be dedicated to this song that inspires India’s independence and unity.

Shardiya Navratri 2025: The second day of Sharadiya Navratri is dedicated to the worship of Mother Brahmacharini. This form of Goddess is considered a symbol of penance, restraint and knowledge. It is mentioned in the scriptures that by the grace of Maa Brahmacharini, the impossible work of the seeker also becomes possible.

But in these scriptures, another secret is hidden that if there are three special mistakes from the seeker on this day of Navratri, then his years of penance, worship and practice of years can also be meaningless. Let us know what are those things that every seeker should be careful on this auspicious day.

The form and importance of mother Brahmacharini

Durga Saptashati and Goddess Bhagwat Purana gives description that Maa Brahmacharini was the daughter of the Himalayas and the fast of Lord Shankar. He received Shiva by doing severe penance. He has chanting and kamandalu in his hand, which symbolizes meditation and practice.

The scriptures say that Tapascharya Rata Nityam Brahmacharini Matar. Nityam Arogyam Sukhm Param in Shanti Dadatu That is, O Brahmacharini Mata! You are always absorbed in penance, please give me peace, health and ultimate happiness.)

Why is there a special effect of cultivation on this day?

According to astrology, the position of the moon on the second day of Navratri has a special effect on the mind and penance. On this day, if the seeker worships in a rule, then his mind is stable and self -power increases. This is the reason that yogis, monks and householders all consider the practice of mother Brahmacharini as very important on this day.

Shocking revelation of the scriptures: Three mistakes that destroy tenacity

1. To be subjugated by ego and anger

On the second day of Navratri, if the seeker becomes angry while worshiping or promotes his ego, it destroys spiritual practice. Classical basis: According to Goddess Bhagwat, ego: but evil wraths or destroyers: Tapah. That is, ego and anger immediately destroy penance.

Modern vision: Psychology also believes that at the time of worship, anger or egoistic tendency disturbs peace of mind. It eliminates the power of meditation.

2. Violation of food and celibacy

The name of Maa Brahmacharini is associated with Brahmacharya. If the fast eats uncomfortable food on this day, consumes meat and meditation or breaks the rules of celibacy, then its fast becomes fruitless. According to the classical basis, it is written at one place in the Padma Purana that Madamam meat na seveet vratanam Brahmacharini. That is, consumption of alcohol and meat destroys the fast during the fast.

Modern vision: Ayurveda also says that sattvic food makes the mind and body worthy of tenacity, while tamasic food weakens energy.

3. Inaccurate or mistake in mantra-chanting

On this day, if the seeker, while chanting the mantra-chanting, pronounce impure, leave incomplete chanting or chant, then the grace of mother Brahmacharini is not available. It is told in the Markandeya Purana that Mantre Dosha if Sit Tu Na Falo Bhavati Dhruvam. That is, if there is a blame in the mantra, the fruit is definitely destroyed.)

Modern vision: Sound and vibration say that the mantra should be pronounced in the right tone and rhythm, only then its waves affect the mind and brain.

Can practice be really meaningless?

The scriptures say that the effect of penance decreases with these three mistakes. This does not mean that the virtue of the seeker becomes zero, but he could not get as much fruit as possible. This is the same as a student works hard throughout the year but loses several marks in the examination.

If there is an error by mistake, the scriptures show some measures that

1. Pardon Prayer: Ask for forgiveness from the goddess heartfelt.
2. Additional chanting: If a garland is missed, chant the additional garland.
3. Donation: Donate to Brahmin, Virgo or Cow and remove the defect.
4. Modern view: Psychological secret of penance

Psychology believes that following the restraint, meditation and sattvikta active the neurons of the person, the memory increases and the self -power is strong. In this sense, Navratri is not only a religious festival but also the practice of mental and physical health.
