Significance Of Bhajans & Samithi Bhajan Rules

[Guest guest]

Bhajans

 

" For the disease of " Bhavaroga " (birth death cycle), Bhagavan is the medicine;

for the disease of desire, Jnana is the prescription; for the disease of doubt,

the most effective remedy is paropakara (service); for the major infection of

asanthi (anxiety), the course of treatment is Bhajan "

 

" Sing aloud the Glory of God and charge the atmosphere with divine adoration.

This is why I Insist on group singing of the names of the Lord " Baba

 

" Those who sing Bhajans get what can be called a " Double Promotion " , for they

derive Joy and distribute joy " Baba

 

Individual Singing Vs Community Singing

 

If you sing alone in your shrine, the vibrations return to you as a reaction.

But in community singing, what you have is not a reaction but a wave of

vibrations. They enter into the atmosphere and purify the polluted air

 

" I am Anandaswarupa; come and take Ananda from Me " Baba

 

Devotional singing (Bhajan) is the process of singing that originates in the

heart, not from the lips or the tongue. It is the expression of the joyous

thrill that wells up from the heart when the Glory of God is remembered. It is

the spontaneous manifestation of inner ecstasy. No attention is paid to the

blame or prise that others may give. It does not seek the admiration or the

appreciation of the listeners.

 

" Wherever My Glory is sung, I install Myself there " Baba

 

Do's & Don'ts

 

Have in common Place at least once in a week

 

Any language but simple bhajan which can be followed easily by one and all

 

Understand the meaning of the Bhajans and dwell on the form of the God while

singing

 

Bright singing and proper selection of songs will lead to good vibration and

enthusiasm

 

Following should be bright and full throated

 

Clap in a orderly fashion and should not distrub the singing

 

Melody & Rhythm has to be together

 

Do not contemplate on the effect of the song

 

Pay attention to the tune, the meaning, the variety, the voice, the raga

(Rhythm), the tala (beat), and other fine points of the Bhajans

 

Stick to timings of song. No twice repetition in second speed

 

If voice is grating or out of tune, cracking etc, sing in your mind

 

Do not cause discontent or disharmony, insisting on singing because you are

office bearer

 

Maintain silence after the Bhajans so that the joy & Peace derived is maintained

 

Have simple Bhajans without any major expenses
