The British say God Save the King.
The Americans say God Bless America.
The Indians say Om Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu.
Does this tell you something?“God Save the King/Queen” is the National Anthem of the United Kingdom. It is also one of the two national anthems of New Zealand, and the royal anthem of Canada, and other Commonwealth Realms, as well as the anthem of the British Royal Family.
Bless America” is an American patriotic song originally written by Irving Berlin in 1918 and revised by him in 1938. It is sometimes considered an unofficial national anthem of the United States.[1] It also served as the inspiration for another anthem, Woodie Guthrie’s “This Land Is Your Land”, which was written in response to it.
“Om Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu” (Loka Samasta Sukhino Bhavantu) means “May Eternal Peace & Goodwill Prevail in the Whole World”
