[GHHF] Bhajan are organized in villages to purify the soul and environment and unite villagers as one community.
Global Hindu Heritage Foundation has initiated Bhajan programs in a few villages to kindle devotion among the villagers. We started bhajan singing in Penna Ahobilam, Devadula Palli, Boyala Palli, and Uravakonda Mandal, Ananthapuram District.
A few weeks ago, GHHF even supplied a Sound system to 15 village temples to encourage bhajan singing.
Today’s bhajans were conducted in the Mahonnatha Kshetra, where Narasimhaswamy married Goddess Chenchulakshmi.
In the 17th century, the murti of Lakshminarasimhaswamy were installed during the Jaitrayatra of Sadashivarayu in the Vijayanagara Empire.
Devotees believe that if unmarried people visit Swami, marriages will take place within 45 days. Lakhs of devotees visit Swami's Brahmotsavam. Today, on behalf of our organization, we visited such a shrine and performed bhajan.
A few villagers commented that they saw Flexi with the Name Global Hindu Heritage Foundation on Facebook and were very happy to hear that this organization does many service programs. Devotees also sat for a while during our bhajan and sang kirtans.
Later, a village committee was formed in the villages of Devadakonda and Boyalapalli. The committee informed us about our organization's programs and established Bala Samskar Kendra centers. Similarly, a committee was also formed about bhajan and informed us that our organization would teach bhajan for free.
Bhajans are devotional songs that express love and reverence towards the divine. They are integral to bhakti (devotion) in Hinduism and other Indian traditions. Bhajans often convey stories and teachings from the lives of deities, saints, and sages, fostering a sense of spiritual communion among those who sing and listen to them. These songs can be simple or complex in their melodies and rhythms, and they are typically performed in groups, enhancing communal bonds and collective spiritual experience.
Amma from Kerala says that Bhajans are prayers in song form, rich in meaning, and full of devotional content. Singing a bhajan wholeheartedly, completely forgetting oneself, and identifying with the emotion of longing for the vision of the Divine is an experience akin to blissful meditation. In this modern age with distractions galore, serene meditation and contemplation are impossible for everybody, but singing bhajans is.
Amma recommends singing bhajans as a highly effective spiritual sadhana for all of us. When sung with innocence and concentration, bhajans awaken the sleeping child within us, and then we feel the presence of the Divine in our hearts.
The singing of Bhajans purify the atmosphere as a result of the sacred sound waves getting absorbed into the atmosphere. Sound waves' power is evident from how radio waves are transmitted and received over long distances. The chanting of the Divine Name can purify the atmosphere that has been polluted by impure sound waves. Likewise, sacred thoughts, pure speech, and actions will purify other polluted elements. There is no better purifying agent than this. Crores (one crore is ten million) are being spent to purify the Ganges water. What use is this exercise if the Ganges continue to be polluted by the discharge of drainage water into the river? First, prevent the flow of filthy effluents into the Ganges. Similarly, the evil thoughts arising in the mind should be diverted and filled with pure, Godly thoughts by reciting the Divine name.
