Holy Satrunjaya. ભાષણો અત્રે આપ્યાં છે, અને પાલીતાણા અને ઈન્સ્ટીટયુટમાં પણ પિતાનાં ભાષણ આપવાને પંજાબ શ્રીમાન આત્મારામજી મહારાજ પાસે જઈ ઈરાદે છે. ધન્ય છે એવા શુરવીર સ્વદેશાભિમાની આવીને બુદ્ધિવર્ધક સભામાં તથા ફરામજી કાવશજી જનને !!!
Holy Satrunjaya. By Chinubhai Chamanlal Javeri B. A. (Cantab ) Consecrated Mount: Abode of Gods: O Lord of Ours: O Tirthankars! Salvation unto us,
Give ear to our affictions. What nobler wish could we rejoice, The autocrats lay deep their schemes Than offer up ourselves,
Against our sacred rights. Among the holy mountains vie,
The month of Chaitra treads of late, The Glory of Satrunjaya;
-The time for Pilgrimage, Where sits within each Sanctuary,
When tens of thousands trod the Hill, An image of the Holy.
But now no soul is seen. City of Temples 'Holy Spirits'
Be thou not silent at this hour, Befriend us in distress,
The foe now swells with pow'r; The earth seems coloured with our griefs And strikes against our Liberty Lead us ere we transgress.
To crush us under sway. Exalted Lord ! 'Great Tirthankars
Answer our prayers Great Trithankars! The Holy Satrunjaya
Guides of Righteousness! Thy greatest of Legacies we have,
Have pity on us, and offer help, Is hanging by a thread.
For thou alone could help. Restrained by Power from April day We shall not hate who even hurt, We have not come to pray.
The way to win is Love. But shall we humble down and sit
Ignorant folk they know not GOD, Like beggars in the street ?
In darkness they walk on. A tax I-a Poll tax State has laid; Oh foolishness of man ! how long Our fate has so ordained,
Your judgment you will drag? And usurped us of every right
There's GOD-a just and severe Judge And rule the law with might.
To expiate our wrong.
