Sairam to all!

 

I need suggestion for conducting bhajans. 1st I will explain how we

conduct and you tell me where we are going wrong and what needs to be

done or changed.

 

Initially since we started doing bhajans every Saturday we used to

do:-

 

1. Aum 3 times

2. Gayatri Mantra 9 times

3. Ganesh bhajan

4. Guru bhajan

5. Mataji's bhajan

6. Shivji's bhajan

7. Any bhajan

8. Any Bhajan

9. Any Bhajan

10.Any bhajan

11.Any bhajan

12.Any bhajan.

13.Hanuman's bhajan

14.Subramanyam.

15.Prayers

16.Artee.

17.Prayer - Loka Samastha.

18.Vibuthi distribution.

 

I saw even in Dar-es-salaam they do the same way as we doin here. Now

we got few members from India/south. They told us to do some changes.

 

1.Ganesh prayer

2.Guru's prayer

3.Ganesh's bhajan

The rest is all the same but Gayatri Mantra is excluded.

 

1. Arti they say only a man can do not ladies - I need ye suggestion

here.

2. I know arti has to be done by only 1 person or two but correct me

if am wrong.

 

3. Tell me more what we missing in our bhajan's/Satsang.

Re: [saibabanews] Suggestion!

 

I am sure our beloved Ma would love it if a lady performs arthi

too.....please, my dear fellow devotees, dont put any restrictions on the

love we show for our Ma. Let these restrictions, rules and regulations not

limit our love to our beloved Sai Ma. Dont bring discrimination between man

and woman for showing our love to our Ma.

 

 

Sairam All,

 

At the end of Christmas Choir Swami allows the choir conductor (usually a woman)

give HIM Arathi (Haarathi). I watched this happening consistently from 1992. I

also have a pleasant memory of this occasion during Christmas Eve one time. I

sat next to the choir conductor on Christmas Eve one time and Swami came

(walked) to us at the end of choir and bhajans (sung by choir people), stood in

front of us and asked the choir conductor to give HIM Arathi and lit the

camphor, asked me to sing Arathi song and then threw the match box to the woman

sitting next to me after lighting the camphor. It was so amusing and a lot of

fun. It is still a fond memory in my HEART to cherish.

 

As Swami says, SUN, trees and cows don't discriminate between different kinds of

people to give what they have, so is the truth with Swami. HE gives Love to ALL

and accepts Love from All.

 

Om Sri Sai Arpanam, radha (gr)
