Bhajan Sing-along concerts

Bhajans are spiritual songs that have been sung for centuries in the Indian tradition. They express love, devotion, and gratitude to the Divine – or to one’s own inner truth.

The word Bhajan comes from the Sanskrit root bhaj, which means to share, to worship, to serve, or to love. Bhajans are therefore much more than songs – they are an act of devotion, a way to open the heart and uplift the mind.

Call & Response

Bhajans are usually sung in a call-and-response form: a lead singer sings a line, and the participants repeat it. This creates a collective, uplifting vibration.

Simplicity over Perfection

The focus is not on musical perfection but on devotion. Amma (Mata Amritanandamayi) says:

“When singing bhajans, we should not think about how our voice sounds. We should sing to express our love for God.”

Open to Everyone

Anyone can join in singing bhajans – or simply listen and enjoy the uplifting atmosphere. 

Variety of Languages

Traditionally, bhajans are sung in Indian languages such as Sanskrit, Hindi, Tamil, or Malayalam. However, in order that people from all over the world can understand the words and connect more deeply with the songs, English bhajans are also sung, 

On Body, Mind, and Soul

Singing brings relaxation, releases inner tension, and bestows deep peace.

Transformation of Emotions

Joy, pain, or worries can be expressed while singing. Instead of suppressing emotions, they are transformed through devotion into peace and inner stillness.

Focus of the Mind

The restless mind finds calmness and concentration through melody, rhythm, and the meaning of the words.

Healing Vibrations

Bhajans generate an atmosphere of purity and love, positively influencing not only ourselves but also the environment.

Community and Energy

When many people sing together, a powerful energy field of joy, unity, and purity is created.
