If you have not heard of the beautiful prayer of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), commonly called the RSS Prarthana, then it is your misfortune. You have truly missed something very beautiful. Composed in Sanskrit by Narasimha Rao Bhide and is recited at RSS shakhas across India and abroad, this is as impactful as Vande Mataram. It has unfortunately been suppressed by the multiple Congress regimes because it uses words such as "hindurAshtra" without understanding its core sentiment. There is no greater expression of national pride than this.
नमस्ते सदा वत्सले मातृभूमे त्वया हिन्दुभूमे सुखं वर्धितोऽहम् ।
महामङ्गले पुण्यभूमे त्वदर्थे पतत्वेष कायो नमस्ते नमस्ते ॥१॥
प्रभो शक्तिमन् हिन्दुराष्ट्राङ्गभूता इमे सादरं त्वां नमामो वयम् ।
त्वदीयाय कार्याय बद्धा कटीयम् शुभामाशिषं देहि तत्पूर्तये ॥२॥
अजय्यां च विश्वस्य देहीश शक्तिं सुशीलं जगद्येन नम्रं भवेत् ।
श्रुतं चैव यत्कण्टकाकीर्णमार्गं स्वयं स्वीकृतं नः सुगं कारयेत् ॥३॥
समुत्कर्षनिःश्रेयस्यैकमुग्रं परं साधनं नाम वीरव्रतम् ।
तदन्तः स्फुरत्वक्षया ध्येयनिष्ठा हृदन्तः प्रजागर्तु तीव्रानिशम् ॥४॥
विजेत्री च नः संहता कार्यशक्तिः विधायास्य धर्मस्य संरक्षणम् ।
परं वैभवं नेतुमेतत्स्वराष्ट्रं समर्था भवत्वाशिषा ते भृशम् ॥५॥

O ever-affectionate Motherland, O Hindu land, you have nurtured me in happiness. O great and auspicious sacred land, may this body fall in your service. Salutations to you, again and again.
O powerful Lord, we who are integral parts of the Hindu nation bow to you with reverence. Having prepared ourselves for your work, grant us your auspicious blessings for the successful completion of that mission.
Grant us invincible strength, O Lord, by which the whole world may become humble through noble character. And may the thorn-ridden path that we have willingly chosen become smooth for us through knowledge and resolve.
Let intense dedication to our ideal ever blaze within our hearts day and night. Let our united power of action become victorious in protecting this dharma. And may our nation attain the highest glory, through your abundant blessings and strength.
Victory to Mother India!
