Memories with Swamiji

Memories with Swamiji by Vimal Shankar 

My memory of swamiji is rather vague as he passed on when I was five. But one memory I have is how he drank cow’s milk every morning . His cup had a lot of ‘melahi’ and I remember always being astonished at how he could drink it with such ease. I say this because at that time almost everyone I knew (including myself) had an aversion to it! Also when I first saw swamiji I was slightly intimidated by his appearance, but then after being around him for a while, getting to know him better, and feeling his love, I looked forward to having him around. He spoke very warmly to a lot of people who came to see him. I was too young to remember the exact details but what I do remember was that he was very good at reassuring people that things will be ok. My mum, for one, would always be more certain and uplifted after visiting him. Though it’s been sometime since swamiji passed on, his memory still looms large thanks to my aunts & mum always recollecting things he would do & say. All in all, I consider myself blessed to have been in His presence .

Bhajans – a divine connection

Bhajans by Saranya Naidu

Bhajan – Praises of the Lord. Singing His loving and graceful name in different tunes and melodies. Bhajan – words that seep through your lips with utmost love and devotion. 

From a very young age, the connection that I had with Bhajans was extremely strong. It started off with strings that connected my heart to each beat and vocal chord of the singer. As I grew older that string grew thicker and thicker. 

Older youths would give me the encouraging hand to sit in the front and pour my heart of love with words and tunes to the lotus feet of the Lord. But I always held back, never took that step forward because I believed that I did not have a voice as good as what is expected and achieved. 

Nevertheless, it was much later when I realized that it is not the sound that comes out of your mouth but how it comes out of your mouth. Do you say the Lord’s name with love, kindness, devotion? Do you sing with your mind focused on Him and only Him? Well that is what Bhajans is all about. Strengthening your connection with Him.

Looking forward to the 9th Radha Krishna Bhajan Yatra tonight!

My Favourite Bhajan

My Favourite Bhajan
by Tanusha Sharma 

As the annual Bhajan Yatra is just around the corner, a wave of nostalgia hits me as I remember singing as a child and having a good time during these yatras. The soulful music sung by devotees accompanied by musical instruments such as the harmonium and the tabla, add exuberance to the atmosphere and definitely makes the night a memorable one. As a child, I would have a list of bhajans in my head that I loved and wanted to sing during Bhajan Yatra. I would mentally check off the songs in the list and also feel a little disappointed (a lot) when other aunties and uncles would sing them before I did. But there was always one bhajan that the adults would not sing, and was always given to the kids to do so. It is called “Hey Nanda Nanda Gopal”. I remember the times when Aunty Asha asked me to lead the bhajan and over the years it became an unspoken rule that the children would sing “Hey Nanda Nanda Gopal” during the Bhajan Yatra. The little devil in me back then would let out an evil laugh knowing that no one else would be able to sing this bhajan during yatras. Thank you Aunty Asha! Soon enough, “Hey Nanda Nanda Gopal” became my favourite bhajan that I’ve kept close to my heart (and also head since it only has 3 lines). This bhajan repeats Bhagawan’s name in an upbeat and melodious tune. Every time I hum it, I relive the moments of my childhood in Geeta Ashram, where I would be singing my heart out with the biggest smile on my face, forgetting everything that’s going on, just being happy and connecting with Bhagawan. Then reality (more like my mother) hits me when I don’t sing well and I’m left wondering whether anyone turned deaf! Thankfully, there was always a Bhajan Yatra the following year to improve!
