Bhajans for Sathya Sai Baba

Indian devotional songs in western music notation

What Bhajans can you find here
This website is dedicated to Bhajans sung in the presence of Sathya Sai Baba in His ashrams in South India and in Sai centres around the world.

What's unique about this website
On this website you can learn the Bhajans by the means of audio & music notation & translation on one page per Bhajan.

How do Indian Bhajans come to Switzerland
Some Swiss Sai devotees and musicians dedicate themselves to singing, playing and teaching these Bhajans. For this purpose they have edited books with the transcription from original Indian audio sources of 3 x 108 Bhajans (324 Bhajans) in western music notation.

Why do we sing Bhajans
In 1968 Sathya Sai Baba said: "Sing aloud the glory of God and charge the atmosphere with divine adoration; the clouds will pour the sanctity through rain on the fields; the crops will feed on it and purify and fortify the food; the food will induce divine urges in man. This is the chain of progress. This is the reason why I insist on group singing of the names of the Lord."

Alt-j - An Awesome Wave -2012- -24 Bit — Flac- Vinyl

Released: 2012 | Format: 24-bit FLAC (Vinyl Rip) | Genre: Indie Rock / Art Pop

"Hand in hand, your gear will finally understand."

Listen to Matilda . The folk guitar fingerpicking is usually a brittle, trebly mess. On this rip, it sounds like nylon strings in a wooden room. When the distorted synth bass enters, it doesn't fight the highs—it supports them. If you only know An Awesome Wave through Spotify or YouTube, you have only heard the skeleton. The 24-bit vinyl rip reveals the blood and the tissue.

In the landscape of 2010s indie music, few debuts arrived as fully-formed and mathematically precise as Alt-J’s Mercury Prize-winning . A decade later, the album remains a touchstone for its fractured folk, glacial synths, and lyrical nods to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly .
