Akhand Bhajan - Quotes by Bhagawan
You should sing whole-heartedly with the desire to please God. God makes no
distinction between a proficient musician and a beggar in the street. It is the
devotion and sincerity that matters. Merge your soul in the Bhajans you sing.
Spiritualize your Bhajan-singing. Then you will experience real bliss."
"Once Emperor Akbar asked his court musician how he would account for the fact
that a wayside beggar's music moved him more profoundly than the music of the
state musician? The latter replied that while the beggar sang from his heart to
please God, his music constrained by the desire to please the Emperor." Sai
Baba. SS, 4/97, p. 96
"The word "Bhajan" has been derived from the Sanskrit root "Bhaj" which means
to render service. Bhajan singing is indeed a mode of providing service for the
audience to purify their head and heart." Sai Baba
"Community singing sets up vibrations which will cleanse the atmosphere." Sai
Baba, SS, 2/98. p. 33
"When all the devotees participate in the Bhajan, the vibrations that are
produced will generate joy and harmony." Sai Baba. SS. 11/86. p. 280
"Bhajans have to be sung to please the Lord, not your fans. With each Bhajan
sung, the mind must be rendered purer, freer from passion, and stronger in
faith." Sai Baba. SS. 12/74. p. 297 & SSS. Vol. IX, p. 162
"Bhajans have to be sung and offered to God in an attitude of utter humility.
They are not to be taken as exercises in an exhibition of talent and
competitions for mastery of musical skill." Sai Baba. SS, 12/74, p. 297 & SSS,
Vol. IX. p. 162
Global Akhanda Bhajan for World Peace commences…
Sunday, November 10th, 2013
Global Akhanda Bhajan 2013 commenced this evening at 1800 hrs. here in
Prasanthi Nilayam. When the theme bhajan for this twenty-four hour spiritual
exercise, “Akhanda Jyothi Jalaao …Sai Mana Mandir Mein” echoed in Prasanthi,
thousands assembled in the resplendent Sai Kulwant Hall joined in chorus
sinking in nostalgic memoirs of the golden past when Bhagawan would officiate
the Akhanda Bhajan. Bhajans continued with boys and girls from Prasanthi
Nilayam and Anantapur Campus sang in alternate turns.
