International Anthem for the entire Universe!

Once the Nobel Laureate Rabindra Nath Tagore was asked, "You have written the National Anthem for India Can you write an International anthem for the whole world?"
"It has already been written not only international but for the entire universe, in the16th century by Guru Nanak" Replied Tagore. He referred to the Sikh Aarti (ceremony of light) Tagore was so enamored of this Aarti that he personally translated it into Bengali.



As legend has it, in 1508 CE Guru Nanak Devji visited the famous temple of Jagannath at Purin Orisa, which was very well known for it's aarti of Lord Krishna.



In the evening, priests brought a platter full of many lighted lamps, flowers, incense and

pearls and began the Aarti :
