The Transformative Power of Satsaṅg and Bhajan
Life in the ashram changes—becomes divine, meaningful, done in the light of Guru Dev with detachment. The central practice is daily satsaṅg, gathering together. In satsaṅg, bhajans are sung. Bhajans glorify God, created by saints who realized the essence of being. Their experience flows through the medium of rāga. Diving deep into a bhajan reveals endless truth, layer after layer. Each finds a different meaning. Singing with devotion, with bhakti, reveals truth more deeply. Viśvagurujī emphasizes bhajan as foundation, a form of teaching. Truth is revealed through a gentle, pleasant medium, like an art. It can be practiced anywhere, any time, needing only the voice—or the mind if voiceless. It is like a mantra: repetition deepens understanding, increasing sweetness. Practicing bhajans means remaining in communion with God, communicating with masters, understanding their teachings, carrying them forward. Sitting together and singing bhajans is satsaṅg.
“If you dive deep into a bhajan, you will discover layer after layer, for truth is endless; it has no bottom, no beginning, and no end.”
“The more often you sing them with devotion, with bhakti, the more the truth reveals itself.”
