The song was written by Ninu Majumdar to promote National Unity. It was originally composed by Kanu Ghosh who led a choir to perform this song for All India Radio.
Set to a Melodious slow tune, this Gujarati song talks about the cosmic Milkyway, Sun, Stars and evening twilight .. whom does it belong to? The land, rivers are ubiquitous and belongs to everyone..hopes & downs are part of life.. The clouds and rainbows are beautiful with its multiple colours.
Aakash ganga surya chandr taara
sandhya ushara koi na na thi
Koni bhoomi khoni nadhi koni sagar dhara
Bheed keval shabd aamara tamaara
Ej hasya ej rudan aasha e nirashaa
ej maanav urmi faan mitr baasha
meghdhanu andar na hoy kadi jango
sundarta kaaj vanya vivid rango
Thank you! Thank you! After 20 years I am listening to this beautiful song. You rekindled my memories from school days when we use to sing this song on 26 Jan every year.
ReplyDeleteYes for me too memories of 35 years I learnt this song from AIR when they used to teach patriotic songs of all Baratheeya languages
DeleteSame here. This was one of our school prayers. I'm currently in IIT Kanpur and having a difficult time with this online sem. This prayer just came in my mind and searched it out on Google. It relaxes me to another level.

ReplyDeleteAakash ganga surya chandr taara
ReplyDeletesandhya ushara koi na na thi
Koni bhoomi khoni nadhi koni sagar dhara
Bheed keval shabd aamara tamaara
Ej hasya ej rudan aasha e nirashaa
ej maanav urmi faan mitr baasha
meghdhanu andar na hoy kadi jango
sundarta kaaj vanya vivid rango
can anyone try to explain this akash ganga
ReplyDeletesong meaning in english line by line.
Aakash ganga surya chandra taara
DeleteSandhya usha, koi na nathi
The milky way, the sun moon and the stars
Dusk and dawn, they belong to no one in particular
Koni bhoomi, khoni nadi, koni sagar dhara
Bhed keval shabd, aamara ne tamaara
Whose earth, whose rivers, whose seas and oceans?
Divided only by words, ours and yours
Ej hasya ej rudan, aasha e nirashaa
Ej maanav urmi, pan bhinn baasha
Joy and sorrow, hope and disappointment
Same human emotions, expressed in different languages
Meghdhanu andar, na hoy kadi jango
Sundarta kaaj banya, vividh rango
There is no conflict (among colours) in a rainbow
The different colours have been created to express beauty
Best of best
