Gurukula Song

Ámra gare nobo gurukul
Jináner áloke ráungiye dobo
Pratiti kunri phul

Keha ná thákibe dure
Bájábo pratiti tare
Bándhibo priitiri dore
E maniháre atul

Keha ná thákibe piche
Theli ná kare o niice
Sabe átmiya biráje
Mano májhe doduldul


Meaning:
We will establish the Gurukul. We will dye each and every bud with the light of knowledge.

No one will stay away. We will bind everybody with the thread of love and create a garland of incomparable beauty.

No one will stay behind, none will be thrown at the bottom. All will exist with kith and kin with their minds full of sweetness and tenderness for all.
