Global Akhanda Bhajan For Universal Peace…

Right intention coupled with right intonation, 24-hour Global Akhanda Bhajan 2019, a Prasanthi Nilayam initiative spread over the world of Sai fraternity aimed at Universal Peace, is to commence this evening at 1800 hrs in Bhagawan’s immediate Divine OmniPresence in Prasanthi Nilayam. The Intonation, Timeless and True had its initiation over a quarter century ago by a great devotee of Bhagawan, Dr. R.S. Padmanabhan at his Bengaluru residence.

Akhanda Bhajan involves constant contemplation on God in the morning, evening or even during the night time. It is constant contemplation on God during all the three states – the waking, dream and deep sleep. It is “Sarvada Sarvakaleshu Sarvathra Harichintanam, said Bhagawan long ago, explaining the significance of the marathon spiritually elevating saga.

…And Akhanda Bhajans of yester years used to have Bhagawan’s greater participation. Reminiscing the beauty and subtlety of the marathon Bhajan saga, one of the former students of Bhagawan’s University, who has been blessed by Bhagawan to sing in His presence writes:

“Akhanda Bhajan was about to begin in a few minutes. Bhagawan entered the bhajan hall from the rear side and was slowly walking on the carpet towards the altar where He had to light the “Akhanda Jyothi” to mark the commencement of the bhajans. As He reached the altar, He noticed a glittering artificial garland placed around the neck of the Hanuman Idol by the side of His chair. One could see a frown on His face as He went close to the Idol, bent over the lamp placed by its side, removed the garland and dropped the same saying ARTIFICIAL. We all know that every act of Bhagawan has an inner meaning. We felt that Bhagawan was indirectly teaching us to sing bhajans from the heart and not as an art. He says, whatever we do should be “Heartificial” and not Artificial.”
