The universal sound of bhajan originates from the navel, or nābhi. This sound is not exclusive to humans. Birds produce beautiful voices akin to bhajans, especially in peaceful ashrams. Animals like cows and buffaloes express inner happiness through their sounds. Fish in the ocean and deep lakes also create sounds, which are heard as a collective song when the water is peaceful. Many creatures, including snakes, make indistinct vocal sounds together. While humans possess greater mental capacity, all beings participate in this universal expression. The sound within a bhajan carries profound beauty that resonates from this central point.
"In the morning you can come, all the birds this day are so beautiful, giving their voices like they are bhajans."
"When we go further down, and in the ocean when it is very peaceful, and we look deep, we hear many, many sounds. It is like a bhajan."
