Swamiji in Bay Area, USA
The essence of bhajan is devotional singing. It is a practice of the heart, not a performance of the mind. The technical method is secondary to the feeling of devotion. One begins by simply joining in the collective voice. The melody and rhythm are vehicles for love. The correct form emerges from sincere participation. It is an offering, not an exhibition. The act itself is the teacher.
"Mahāprabhujī kī Karatā..."
