9TH JANUARY SUNDAY BHAJAN MESSAGE BY POOJYA BALASWAMIJI :
Jayagurudatta Sri Gurudatta
Ganapathi Sachchidanada sadgurubyo namaha
Sachchidaananda sadgurutande naa nimma padava nammi bande (*this means sadgurudeva you are my father and everything and believing in your lotus feet I came to this world*): This bhajan is so close to my heart listening to this bhajan some good memories come to my mind and wanted to share them.
During 1989 – 1990 period we all were travelling in a Maruthi van from Vijayawada to Guntur along with Veda students and Radha anna was driving and we thought we should not waste time and started singing bhajans Pahi pahi ;Amba bhavani and all popular songs and 5th song was this song and we left Guntur and till Nellore Radhanna sang this son in various Raaga’s .Such is the power of the bhajan .His mother whome we all call as Chikkamma composed this bhajan finally after this is completed this bhajan was so catchy .Similarly ,At Trinindad the Swaminatha bhajan was sung by Krishnappa all day in the Viswa shanti yagna and mantra “OM AIM HREEM SHREEM SIVA RAMA ANAGHA DATTAYA NAMAHA “ From morning to evening and night all day long this song was sung and such is the power of NADA .
Nada with a tune get’s us more attracted .Bhajan with a meaningful powerful beejaksharas and tunes with a lyric are more catchy and we all get attracted to such nada .We need to do arpana to the lord by namarachana .In this process we forget ourselves and get involved in the bhajan such is the power of Nada .Namasankeerthana is Arpana to sadgurudeva .
