Importance of Bhajans

[Guest guest]

During the early days in Venkatagiri i.e., in the very early 1960's,

Swami actually started " Nagarsankeertan " in Venkatagiri, There were

only Bhajans and Swami's Darshan, Swami told everyone that There

should be " Nagarsankeertan " and that everyone who " wanted " to come

for Bhajans should participate in Nagarsankeertan. Swami used to tell

everyone everday the Importance of Bhajans, This is was what Swami

used to say (This is an account of what Swami said within a period of

4 days) :

 

" Do Bhajans everyday, Everybody should sing Bhajans loudly and with a

full throated Voice, Why should anyone feel shy in singing God's

name, Why should you feel shy or afraid of chanting God's name. In

the olden Days, the Rishis in the Forest even during Meditation used

to chant The Lord's name very loudly so that everything around gets

purified. Never fear in singing Bhajan's Loudly. Annamacharya used to

sing melodiously and very loudly, when People used to question him he

said " I sing for My Lord to hear and not for you " , Swami always sings

loudly, Have you ever seen me singing Bhajans slowly and softly. When

you sing Bhajans with a full throated Voice and with Devotion

everything and everybody around you gets purified and the Lord's name

gets spread everywhere. Swami wants all of you to sing Bhajans loudly

and clearly and with full devotion, When you do seva you are

straining youreslf physically, But Singing Bhajans only means singing

loudly which is easy for everyone.Bhajans gives everyone a chance to

talk to the Lord, WHEN YOU SING A BHAJAN WITH THE WORD " SAI " IN IT,

IT MEANS THAT EVERYONE WHO SING IT ARE REACHING FOR ME AND I WILL

REACH TO THEM TOO. Never ever think Whenever you sing the Lord's name

with Bhakti that he will not hear you, He will, it is only whether

you sing with Bhakti or not. I want all of you to remember this

whenever you sing Bhajans " .

 

Words that everyone of us should think and ponder, The importance of

Bhajans, We sing Bhajans everyday but Swami tells us or reminds us

the Imporatance of singing Bhajans loudly and with Devotion.
