One of the most powerful symbols of India’s unbroken civilizational continuity!

Discovered at Mohenjo-daro in undivided India this steatite seal, about 4,300-year-old, shows a seated figure in yogic posture (widely seen as Shiva-Pashupati) seated in Mulabandhasana, surrounded by animals.

While ancient sites may lie across modern borders, India remains the living custodian of this heritage. The yogic posture, Shaivite symbolism, and spiritual ethos seen in the Pashupati Seal continue to thrive in India’s temples, daily worship of Shiva, yogic traditions, and cultural life even today.

From the Vedic period to contemporary Bharat, this civilizational thread has remained alive and unbroken — deeply embedded in our philosophy, rituals, and collective consciousness.🇮🇳

बंकिम चंद्र चटर्जी जी द्वारा रचित राष्ट्रगीत वन्दे मातरम् देश के स्वतंत्रता संग्राम का मुख्य प्रेरणा स्रोत बना बल्कि इसने देश की आध्यात्मिक और सांस्कृतिक शक्ति को भी जगाया।

इस गीत ने लोगों में राष्ट्रीय भावना और विदेशी हुकूमत के विरुद्ध प्रतिरोध के भाव को जागृत किया।

इस स्वतंत्रता दिवस, वन्दे मातरम् के 150 वर्ष पूर्ण होने के अवसर पर आइये हम राष्ट्रगीत के प्रति सम्मान प्रकट करते हुए हर घर तिरंगा में भागीदारी करें और तिरंगे के साथ अपनी सेल्फी को https://t.co/r8DyiYpka3 पर अपलोड करें।
