Hindu Bhajans

0 comments Published Thursday, February 26, 2009 by sodonkaftbrvei.

Bhajans are a devotional way of praying for those belonging to the Hindu faith. It has also been associated closely with 'Bhakti' which means 'loving devotion.' Often simple in lyrics, it showcases people expressing their feelings for the Divine. Hindu bhajan music has deep roots in classical ragas as well as talas.

From the north of India to the south of the country, every State has its own repertoire and methods of singing a bhajan. Bhajans, especially Hindu bhajans praise and glorify God and gives many anecdotes and details of the lives of Gods. It also emphasizes the lives and teachings of many saints and their accomplishments. Some of the well known bhajan composers include Tulsidas, Nanak, Kabir, Mirabai and Surdas.

These saints have been immortalized for their classic works of bhajans. Children throughout the country read and learn about Hindu bhajans while in school. Their works have been influenced by different Indian dialects. People who may not speak Hindi enjoy listening to them and English translations help in giving their words much more meaning.

In one of 1754 1763 French And Indian War well known bhajans, the poet Kabir refers to his body as a chadar, or a piece of cloth which has been recorded and sung by several well known Indian singers. The poet Mirabai in one of her famous bhajans talks about her love for God and how she would love to sing about God. It goes as follows:

Lord Girdhari (Krishna), make me your servant.
As your servant, I will plant a garden, and see you every day.
In the groves and lanes of Vrindavan, I will sing about you.

In recent years modern composes have tried to mingle Raga music, which used to be exclusively for the elite - with bhajans or kirtans, thereby democratizing the tradition. Followers of the Bhakti movement find chanting bhajans and kirtans to be soothing for the soul and find it far more accessible for people to use in their everyday life. Many Hindu's have found that singing God's praise in the form of bhajans and kirtans can be self-fulfilling. Few have even tried implementing different musical instruments such as guitars to bring about some change in the way a bhajan is sung.
