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 !!!
