This Collection of Bhajans is dedicated to the loving memory of my late father SHRI PRAKASH CHANDER BHANOT who always upheld the importance of religion, moral integrity and righteousness in our worldly existence and my late mother SHRIMATI SARASWATI DEVI who always believed in the importance of singing Bhajans and reciting Mantras as an expression of Devotion to the Supreme Lord. |
Bhajans are devotional songs recited in praise of, and expressing love for and gratitude to, the Lord. Contemplating, uttering or writing the names of the Lord serves to purify one's thought, speech and action. Chanting the names of the Lord is one of the means of God-realisation through Bhaktiyoga. Bhajans can be sung either quietly in one's heart or loudly for all to hear. But congregational singing or Sankeertan is the best and most effective way of reciting Bhajans. Sankeertan aims at the well-being of the whole Universe. Devotional singing is not just a mechanical performance. Bhaava (feeling), Raaga (melody), and Thaala (rhythm) play pivotal roles in the proper singing of Bhajans. The devotee must be immersed in the singing, harmonising the voice, tune, feeling, and rhythm to the appropriate beat of the song. The sacred words of the song should be an outpouring of love and devotion towards God. Bhanot's Collection of Bhajans is a constantly expanding collection of popular bhajans and prayers. I hope that you will find this collection interesting and useful. If you have any comments, suggestions, corrections, or other popular bhajans that you would like included on this site, please do not hesitate to send me an e-mail at drbhanot@bhanot.net .
