Anuvrat Song
Let life be full of self-control,
Bathing in sacred stream of morality,
Every human mind everywhere purify,
Let life be full of self-control...
Self-discipline is ANUVRAT, by definition,
Voice of religion, devoid of class, colour or tradition,
Bringing in minds a revolution, by bits of resolution,
Let life be full of self-control ...1
Let friendship grow among nations, day-by-day,
Reconciliation replacing hatred, succeed coexistence with equality,
Means as well as ends becoming purer day-by-day,
Let life be full of self-control ... 2
Whether man or woman, student or teacher,
Worker or employer, all living with moral fervour,
Steadily narrowing the gap, between saying and doing,
Let life be full of self-control ... 3
Only by becoming Him, possible it is to worship Him,
Becoming honest alone, can be cross this ocean of sorrow,
Life of valour and chivalry, merged in non-violence, we shall follow,
Let life be full of self-control ... 4
Reform individual first, from individual, society,
Nation reforms on its own! Roar of Tulsi Anuvrat echoing all over
To codes and rules of humanity, dedicate, our body and soul,
Let life be full of self-control ... 5
