National Anthem of India Languages: Hindi English 1/16 1

God Defend New Zealand 2/16 ‘TRUTH ALONE TRIUMPHS’ The National Emblem of India is derived from the time of the Emperor Ashoka.The Emblem is a replica of the Lion of Samath, near Varanasi in Utta Pradesh. The Lion Capital was erected in the third century BC by the Emperor Ashoka to mark the spot where the Buddha first proclaimed his message of peace and emancipation to the four quarters of the universe The National Emblem is therefore a symbol of contemporary India’s affirmation of its ancient commitment to world peace and goodwill. The four lions (one hidden from view) - symbolizing power, courage and confidence rest on a circula abacus. The abacus is girded by four smaller animals – guardians of the four directions: the Lion of the North, the Horse of the West, the Bull of the South, the Elephant of the East. The abacus rests on the lotus in full bloom, exemplifying the fountain head of life and creative inspiration. The motto ‘Satyameva Jayate’ inscribed below the emblem in Devanagri script means ‘Truth alone triumphs’. 26 January 195 2

7/16 CONVICTION = COURAGE > VICTORY Rabindranath Tagore 1911 in Benagali Tagore later wrote, "A certain high official in His Majesty's service, who was also my friend, had requested that I write a song of felicitation towards the Emperor. The request simply amazed me. It caused a great stir in my heart. In response to that great mental turmoil, I pronounced the victory in Jana Gana Mana of that Bhagya Vidhata (ed. God of Destiny) of India who has from age after age held steadfast the reins of India's chariot through rise and fall, through the straight path and the curved. That Lord of Destiny, that Reader of the Collective Mind of India, that Perennial Guide, could never be George V, George VI, or any other George. Even my official friend understood this about the song. After all, even if his admiration for the crown was excessive, he was not lacking in simple common sense." [8] [8] 6

CONVICTION India’s Independence stands on conviction Nurse’s misguided conviction wobbles on fear of man instead of on the fear of disobedience. Independence based on conviction gives courage that leads to Victory. How may Nurses regain courage that leads to victory based on Truth? 11
