Feel the divine sounds of bhajans in your heart

Satsang is the gathering for truth.

Coming together creates a strength and fullness beyond solitude. 'Sat' is truth, the fundamental reality of our being and awareness. 'Sang' means together—with oneself and with the divine. This union is Satsang. We engage through bhajan, where inner truth manifests as outer song. True singing arises from within, making the singer an instrument for divine vibration. Even in sleep, truth permeates our dreams. A story illustrates how inner truth clarifies reality: a man's dream of ice cream later manifests through his wife's action, revealing the inner reality shaping the outer. Spiritual practice requires removing impurities to perceive this truth directly. The voice in bhajan channels this energy, uniting singer, instrument, and listener in one vibration.

"Sat means the truth. We are all here, we are, we know, and we should be."

"True singing arises from within, making the singer an instrument for divine vibration."

Hari Om Śrī Deep Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Kī. Devadhī Dev Dev Purīṣa Mahādeva Kī. Madhvanānjī Bhagavān Kī. Alak Purījī Mahādeva Kī. Satya Sanātan Dharma kī. Om Śāntiḥ Śāntiḥ Śāntiḥ. We pray to our Gurus: Mahāprabhujī, Devapurījī, Alagpurījī, Mahāprabhujī. When we come together, it is very strong, beautiful, peaceful, and we become full. When one is alone it is good, but when we are all together in that way, it is something more. That is what we see. Om Guru Kṛpā, Mahāprabhujī, all other gurus, all yogīs, all āśrams of different kinds. When we come to this one name: Satsaṅg. 'Sat' means the truth. We are all here, we are, we know, and we should be. Whether sent or not, we all become one—Sat. That is the truth. In our words, any words, all of us—even in thinking and feelings—it is Sat. It means truth. And what kind of truth? One may say a negative truth; that is also there. A Sat person is speaking truth. I may be telling something negative, not directly, but inside. But mostly, how we are sitting here? We are Satya, Sat. When one is, then it comes back. More is always coming; the air comes strong and fills everyone. This 'Sat' and 'Saṅg'—this word, you know it. I like to say Saṅg, Śat, Śaṅg. So 'Saṅg' means 'all', and that is the truth. Śat Saṅg. 'Saṅg' means together. Together with what? First, with ourself: our physical, mental, and spiritual being. Then with the gods, the cosmic, etc. That is Saṅgha, Śāstra, and Saṅgha. That is why we call it Satsaṅg. We come here for Bhajan. We have beautiful, very nice bhajans. In that, we are here in our inner self and our outer self. The best is first from the inside, in the heart, in our body, and then it comes out. So, Sat and sung together, we become all one, in and out. In the morning when you go to meditate or sit down, even for one minute when we first open our eyes from sleeping—still in our bed—we know that. I say, "I am a human." What is the human? There are many different humans, but it is said, "I am a human." When we go out into the world, we say, "I am a human." All humans are the human, the gods, the spirituals, the help—many, many good things. And then I say, "Always, Mother, may I step on you." On what? The Earth. What is the earth? It is the mother. So when I step and look down to my earth, where I have to step now, I am on the mother. We should never give troubles to the mother. Do not disturb her inner joy. But the mother says, "My child, you are not only on my earth, but you are within myself." What is that sub-earth? The ocean. The ocean is water. Oh mother, I am in your ocean. I am talking about mothers. There are four girls, some girls, and young girls. They have, or many have now, a husband and wife. Men don't know very much. But of course, we are happy. We know we want to have seen all of this. But even the father will say it. What does the mother have? That mother is the ocean, and in the ocean water, there is immensity. All who want will come to the water and get everything. It is there. Yes. So Śat—there is the truth of that which is coming in the ocean like this, in the mother’s stomach and whole body. But not only that; the father also has the ocean, has energies, has everything. So the father is jumping like in the ocean, and that is coming from that drop of life—that jīvā, jīvā, life, jīvā. And then the father goes further, swimming wherever it is. It is coming. So early morning, I'm talking about swimming. We are sleeping. How are we sleeping? What are we dreaming? The truth comes in when we are in deep sleep. Very deep, we are sleeping. Then, at that time, we are going maybe very far, anywhere. Maybe you are coming to the moon, or going somewhere, I don't know. You are going to the ocean, or to some other countries, or you are jumping, or many things we can do in dreams. You are sleeping, and your families are dreaming. Now you are going to Australia, and your mother was sleeping also, coming to Africa, and your sister or brother or children were at home. Others were going where? To ice cream. Ice cream. You know the ice cream stories? Do you know about sky ice cream? If you don't know, hand up. Okay, then you will eat ice cream. The ice cream others, they will... what will they get? Very nice, perhaps something. Okay, very good ice cream. So there was one story. A husband and wife, they are very nice together always. One day, he was a singer, very good. And his wife was very happy always that her husband is a great person, a singer. They were walking, and there was a little shop with ice cream of many colors. The husband said to his wife, "Darling, come, let's go eat ice cream today." She said, "Yes, my dear." He said, "Yes, I said yes, my dear, then let's go have an ice cream." She said, "Yes, but not now." He said, "Why?" No, we are here. His wife said, "You know women—you can say wife, sister, grandmother, anything. In their heart, very much, please. Men are all very good. I will give you another story for men, very nice." Anyhow, she said to her husband, "You know you are going to sing, and your throat is not good. You had a cold. I thought it was not good because it was very cold, and then you took something, and you cannot speak like that, but I can." She said, "No, no, you cannot. Okay, let's go." So they went, and for about five days his throat was still not good. And she said, "I will do when it is good, and I will give." He said, "Okay." So she said, "Time." But this man wanted to drink or eat the ice cream, but he could not because his wife was so humble, good, and also very strict. Ice cream, ice cream. One day, what happens? They were sleeping in their rooms. The husband was sleeping in his bed, dreaming a very beautiful dream. And he said to his wife, "Now my husband is saying, 'Let's go for ice cream.'" He said that. Is it? My wife said, "Oh." I'm healthy and very good, and let's go give ice cream, but which husband? Well, said okay, we go. And both were sitting there in the ice cream place or coffee area, and said, please. He said to his wife, and his wife said to him, "So bring this nice ice cream." He has seen a citizen here, and the husband said, "Thank you, very nice. Now I am good." His wife said, "Now it's okay." He said, "Yes, yes, maybe it is good." And then he said, "Yes, very good ice cream." And he takes it first quickly, and takes the ice cream near his lips. And what happens? He wakes up. He woke up. Where is your wife? She was not there, and there was death. And there is no ice cream. And so it is said, "Where? Who is? How? Telling real?" And it all was going. But then after five days more, you don't know, she came from her job somewhere, and he was from another job also, and he came home earlier, and she came a little late. And when she came there, she said to her husband, "My dear, look what is for you." He said, what? Yes. What is that? Ah. What does "ah" mean? So many boys. Ah. Ah. Not gee. Ah. Take everything, friend, this. Yeah. So, she said, "I brought you the ice cream." How happy? She's happy and everything. So, a dream. This was in the dreams. So she is like this: what we are practicing, where we are, how we are, how it is inside, and how we will again say, "I was not, I was right," or "I was wrong," or something. So, Satguru. Sat, Śat, the truth. Śat and Guru. Guru. Yes, Guru. It is very great. Satguru, and our life we should bring inside. All, whatever it is, we can see inside from our inner body, without telling anybody, but immediately, suddenly, that husband remembered and came so clearly that he said, "No, no, it was not wrong, and this was this and that." And this husband said, "I... I told you, you are always good, and it is good. Inside, outside is also, but our inner. So always Satya. What is? Sat. Sat... So Sat, Sat, Guru. Sat and Guru. That’s it." And through that, what we are doing is Bhajana. So all this bhajana is within us, ourselves. And so, now my beautiful bhajana is coming. Bhajan, everything you know, many, many people are there. In Indian, you can say they will get it already. They have bhajan, or this world, this everything, very good, many, many. But of course, many others, they... cannot. There are many, many great yogīs. We are bowing under this Yoga Guru or the Śānt or Ṛṣikeś, anything. And how are they? Blind. This person is blind. But this Hindu, or any Hindu or human, is blind. He or she, but when she... you can see so many great singers, great bhajan singers. We have many greats; they are blind, but they know all holy books. They know everything. He can talk from that. We have not seen the book, but he can say everything. Yes, that Swamiji is there. I will show you once when you go. I show you that I was there at Kumbha Melas, and Holī Gurujī was there, and this one other sādhu, blind, and Holī Gurujī was, see, because Holī Gurujī likes him. When Holī Gurujī comes, then this sādhu, blind, he said, "Oh, yes." And he said, "It’s my disciple. Who? What?" And then, you know, that my disciple from the German, our Gajananda, was there. Gajananda is a very good singer also. So he was singing the bhajan, and this Swāmī was there, he was blind, and his bhajan was so good, he dropped. Then this Swamiji said, "Very great yogī you are, come close to me." He hugged him, Gajānanda. Yes, this is a truth. Holy Guruji was that, this was that, that was. You can tell him also. So even the eyes close sometimes when you are singing, and you will also sing with closed eyes, yes. That we have to learn, we have to get. And impurities, clean it away, clean it away, clean it. It’s not easy. It’s not easy. One year you are very good in this, and something, one little thing coming, suddenly we say you are stupid. That destroyed everything: Satguru, this day, and the bhajan—everything. And so, now is coming our bhajan, beautiful: Śrīdīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavānakī, Dev Purīṣa Mahādevakī, Mādhāvanānjī Bhagavānakī, Alak Purījī Mahādevakī, Satya Sanātan Dharmakī. Satya, Satya means the truth, Satya Sanātan, all the Sanātan. Adio. Yes, thank you very much. Oh, this bhajan was beautiful. Every bhajan, every bhajan, that is all inside. But many cannot learn, cannot sing, cannot do. When those who are in the throat... and from the throat, it is coming from our vocal cords and into the whole body. That time, when this person can say, "I will sing this bhajan," that time that person said, "I sing this bhajan," is automatically in that person’s body completely—in feels, his vajras, sounds, everything becomes this what one has in his body. It is spiritual, or some other song in that is also, of course, they are doing them. How, where is this? So, what is coming from within ourselves? And when he is singing very nicely, he or she, they will be in and out. That is very good, and they are singing very well, but sometimes it’s like this. What people are saying? I was asking once to Hari Gurujī, and also then some people, I said, "When you are singing very nice with instruments or something, and live for half a minute, half a minute only." Or maybe sometimes what he is doing, he or she, because this voice of the bhajan, then again the person is taking inside that whole vibration, whole energy, and whole, like a God’s voice. It is God’s voice, and then, very nice. An instrument is coming at that time. It is also like your voice is your voice, and again, you go. That is very nice. That is why we have the instrument. Otherwise, the instruments are not good, yeah? So it’s something like this. Yes? So the singer and the instrumentalist, these two, and who is the listener? Then the one who is the listener becomes, "Ah, my ice cream is good with me." Yes, you know, 100% you know, who are saying you are singing, and suddenly coming the boy and that from the thread and everything and bhajans also. Otherwise, everybody will say, "Who is listening?" They should not laugh loudly, then his throat, he is then he’s okay, he’s okay, he’s doing anything, but others should have listened very nicely. You are great, my... yes, so who is coming? One more, very nice. You will see it sing nice. And say, little voice, yeah. The instrument is also, they want to speak, and so, and such a person like this, they are making nice, and then as you go again, nice, yeah. So this one who will sing now, okay, has outside who will be, please you. See, air, anybody? Welcome. Yes, you can do it. Yes, yeah, very nice, very good. So, give a little time. Dharma, so voice, bhajans, spiritual—doesn’t matter. It’s Indian language, Croatian language, Austrian language, African, any. And all they are doing, very nice in their voice, it is. That is that it comes inside and very good, very much so. When you go to the opera, opera... you know the opera? Yes, in Austria there is also very much like this, and then there and there they are. One is like this, another is like that, another is there, many I don’t know. But then again, coming voice, this and other instruments, voice is so much that the whole body is the speaker or the singer. So for him, it is the same thing: this instrument and he. That is very nice. Very good. Thank you. Now, who will hear one more? Śrī Dīpā Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Kī Chāyā Ravi Nandana Andana Khandana He, Śaraṇa Gatha Kiṅkara Vīta Mane, Guru Devadāya Karā Dīna Jane, Bhava Sāgara Tāraṇa Kāraṇahe, Ravi Nandana Vandana Kandanahe.
