Excerpt of the Kulgeet being sung

The Banaras Hindu University Kulgeet (BHU Kulgeet) , i.e., Madhur Manohar Ateev Sundar (transl. sweet serene, infinitely beautiful) is a poem written by Indian chemist Shanti Swaroop Bhatnagar while serving as professor at BHU.[1][2][3] It has been composed by another professor at BHU, Pt. Omkar Nath Thakur.[4]

The poem has been popularized and adopted in original as the official university anthem of Banaras Hindu University and is called Kulgeet.[5][6] It is customary in the university for this anthem to be sung in chorus before any official event or festival of the university is started.[7][8][9][10]

The last stanza of the poem is dedicated to Malviya ji, founder of the university. The university tagline in Hindi Sarv-vidya ki Rajdhani[11], is borrowed directly from the last line of the poem, while the English tagline capital of knowledge is a translation of the same.[12]

The Kulgeet has often earned accolades throughout history.[13][14] The Kulgeet has been presented in art, and popular media as well.[15][16][17]

Hindi Lyrics Hindi romanisation Official English translation[18]
मधुर मनोहर अतीव सुन्दर, यह सर्वविद्या की राजधानी।

यह तीन लोकों से न्यारी काशी।

सुज्ञान धर्म और सत्यराशी॥

बसी है गंगा के रम्य तट पर, यह सर्वविद्या की राजधानी।

मधुर मनोहर अतीव सुन्दर, यह सर्वविद्या की राजधानी॥

नये नहीं हैं ये ईंट पत्थर।

है विश्वकर्मा का कार्य सुन्दर॥

रचे हैं विद्या के भव्य मन्दिर, यह सर्वसृष्टि की राजधानी।

मधुर मनोहर अतीव सुन्दर, यह सर्वविद्या की राजधानी॥

यहाँ की है यह पवित्र शिक्षा।

कि सत्य पहले फिर आत्म-रक्षा॥

बिके हरिश्चन्द्र थे यहीं पर, यह सत्यशिक्षा की राजधानी।

मधुर मनोहर अतीव सुन्दर, यह सर्वविद्या की राजधानी॥

वह वेद ईश्वर की सत्यवाणी।

बनें जिन्हें पढ़ के ब्रह्मज्ञानी॥

थे व्यास जी ने रचे यहीं पर, यह ब्रह्म-विद्या की राजधानी।

मधुर मनोहर अतीव सुन्दर, यह सर्वविद्या की राजधानी॥

वह मुक्तिपद को दिलाने वाले।

सुधर्म पथ पर चलाने वाले॥

यहीं फले-फूले बुद्ध, शंकर, यह राज-ऋषियों की राजधानी।

मधुर मनोहर अतीव सुन्दर, यह सर्वविद्या की राजधानी॥

सुरम्य धाराएँ वरूणा अस्सी।

नहाये जिनमें कबीर तुलसी॥

भला हो कविता का क्यों न आकर, यह वाग्विद्या की राजधानी।

मधुर मनोहर अतीव सुन्दर, यह सर्वविद्या की राजधानी॥

विविध कला अर्थशास्त्र गायन।

गणित खनिज औषधि रसायन॥

प्रतीचि-प्राची का मेल सुन्दर, यह विश्वविद्या की राजधानी।

मधुर मनोहर अतीव सुन्दर, यह सर्वविद्या की राजधानी॥

यह मालवीय जी की देशभक्ति।

यह उनका साहस यह उनकी शक्ति॥

प्रगट हुई है नवीन होकर, यह कर्मवीरों की राजधानी।

मधुर मनोहर अतीव सुन्दर, यह सर्वविद्या की राजधानी॥

madhur manohar ateev sundar, yeh sarvidya ki rajdhani,

yeh malviya ji ki deshbhakti,

yeh unka saahs, ye unki shakti.

pragat hui hai naveen hokar, yeh karmveero ki rajdhani,

madhur mahor ateev sundar, yeh sarvvidya ki rajdhani.

So sweet serene, infinitely beautiful

This is the presiding center of all learning

Radiant Kashi, wonder of the three worlds

Treasure-Chest of Jnana, Dharma and Satya

Nesting on Ganga's bank, center of all disciplines.

(So sweet, serene, infinitely beautiful)

No Recent work of brick and stone

Primordial design of divinity alone

Mansions of Vidya, center of all creation.

(So sweet, serene, infinitely beautiful)

Clear here is the doctrine pure

Truth first, then only one' self

Home of Harishchandra, Truth's testing ground.

(So sweet, serene, infinitely beautiful)

The voice of God in Vedic record

Constant Inspiration for soul-accord

Work-shop of Veda Vyasa, center freedom for Bhrahma Vidya

(So sweet, serene, infinitely beautiful)

Find here the steps of freedom

Tread here the path of Dharma

Flaming trail Budha's and Shankara's center for philosopher-kings.

(So sweet, serene, infinitely beautiful)

Life-Giving waters of Varuna and Assi

Sustenance of Kabir and Tulsi

Fountainhead of eloquent speech and poetry.

(So sweet, serene, infinitely beautiful)

Music, Economics, other arts so many

Maths, Mining, Medicine and Chemistry

Fraternal forum of East and West, university in trust sense.

(So sweet, serene, infinitely beautiful)

Patriotism of Malviyaji

His intrepidity and energy

All in youthful manifestation, centre for men of action

(So sweet, serene, infinitely beautiful)

Code of conduct

[edit]

The Kulgeet is sung in the university in chorus, and rarely alone. As a mark of respect, clapping after Kulgeet is prohibited.[19] The composition by Omkarnath Thakur is the official composition.[20] There is no official length prescribed, but the official composition usually takes around four minutes and thirty seconds.[21][22]
