What is a Bhajan?

From the Sanskrit word “bhaj,” meaning, “to serve, to love, to share,” bhajans are expressions of the soul that transform loving devotion to God into music and melody. Whether one person is singing alone on a river bank with a drum, or a group of musicians and singers are leading a gathering in song, bhajans are a beautiful bridge to healing, inspiration and celebration. Baba is always listening with great joy!

The best way to experience bhajans is to play and sing along! Grab a drum or a guitar, get ready to sing like Baba is listening, and make some joyful noise!

 
 
 

Bhajans are one of the most powerful ways to develop unconditional love and to connect to Baba.  Experiencing devotion through bhajans opens and heals the heart, and gives a direct experience of Baba's love and bliss. Bhajans help develop our divine qualities such as humility, gentleness and openheartedness.
