A TRIBUTE TO UTKALMANI GOPABANDHU DASH
O the great son of Suando!
You
are undoubtedly Odisha’s ever shining Sun
That
rose to radiate many darkened parts unknown
That
strove hard to eradicate evil systems with superstition
That
nurtured many plants like social reforms, and education.
O
the glittering gem of Utkal!
You
immortalized yourself by your untiring, selfless service
Your
genuine concern about the deprived and the needy was commendable
Helping
the flooded affected marooned masses was for you a divine bliss
Without
your enduring endeavours, we would lack now the identity of Odia people!
O
the ever venerable father of freedom fight of Odisha!
You
courted imprisonment for the country’s Independence
You
enriched Odia literature by your patriotic ink and deep sense
You
set up ‘Satybadi Vanavidyalaya’ to instill enlightenment
You
established ‘The Samaj’ and often proved to be a rare Saint!
O
the sublime soul of the country! The Nobel Prize isn’t enough for your eminence
May
you so accept our humble gratitude as a token of our love, adulation and
obeisance!
