Bhajan Workshop Invocations and Kirtans
A Bhajan workshop from Devpurījī Ashram in the Czech Republic shares devotional invocations and kirtans. Greetings extend to all around the world. The weekend workshop practices devotional singing. The performance is offered so distant listeners may enjoy and connect. Sacred invocations are chanted with devotion. Jaya is proclaimed to Alakhpurīṣa Mahādev, Deveśvara Mahādev, Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān, Mādhavānanda Holī Gurujī, Satguru Dev, Viśvagurujī Paramahaṁsa Maheśvarānanda, and Mīrābāī. A kirtan then begins: “Āratī karūṁ satguru kī, pyāre guruvara kī.” The kirtan praises taking refuge in the guru, receiving sweet nectar-like moments. It describes the guru as the revealer of Brahma knowledge and the unwavering propagator of yoga knowledge. It acknowledges the guru’s feet as lotus-like, pervading the heart. The chant seeks grace to dispel doubts, cross the ocean of becoming, and illuminate the path. Participants are described as amateurs still learning and practicing. An invitation is given to join future bhajan workshops to learn playing, singing, and pronunciation. Viewers are encouraged to subscribe to the YouTube channel “Swamiji TV, Yoga in Daily Life” and give likes. A possible session is mentioned for the next day at ten o’clock. The gathering closes with blessings: “Hari Om” and “Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Kī Jai.”
“Āratī karūṁ satguru kī, karūṁ satguru kī, pyāre guruvara kī.”
“Vyomālitaṁ nirañjanaṁ nādabindu kalātītaṁ, tasmai śrī gurave namaḥ.”
