Welcome to Sai Bhajans Virtual Classroom. If you
are wondering what this means, you will come to know about it in
just a few moments. Swami says that singing the name of the Lord
is the most effective spiritual sadhana in this modern age. No
wonder Bhajans are a regular feature (in fact twice a day) at
Prasanthi Nilayam. Swami always stresses the importance of Bhava,
Raaga, and Tala i.e., the feeling, the melody and the rhythm of
the Bhajans. In addition, one also has to pronounce the words
correctly, which, if not done, could make the bhajan mean
altogether something different! So here we present to you a
virtual classroom, if you may say so, of Sai Bhajans sung at
Prasanthi Nilayam. The Sanskrit version and the English
translation are given below. Notice that there are three buttons
on the right hand side of this page. Click the first one titled
'pronunciation' and you will listen to the correct pronunciation
of the words of the bhajan. Next click the button titled ' tune'.
You will hear a voice alone, singing the tune of the bhajan for
you. Click the third button entitled 'full version' and you will
listen to a full version of the bhajan with all the accompaniments
as it was sung before Bhagawan! We hope to present to you one
bhajan every issue. Of course, the first one has to be a Ganesha
bhajan….so lets get started !!!
