Sai Bhajans Virtual Classroom (1) - GOURI SUTHAAYA

 

Dear Readers,

 

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 !!!
