Akhanda Bhajan
--------------------------------
In 2018, Akhanda Bhajan falls on Nov 10th 6 PM to 6 PM on 11th November
AKhanda Bhajans are not just about One Guru but about Nama sankeerthanam on different names of God, Krishna, Janardgana, Achutha, Kesava, Madhava, Srinivasa and any of other Thousand names of Lord Srimannarayana. The most important thisng about group Bhajans is the positive vibtations from Bhajans in different languages and Different religions
Dhyanam, yagnam and Archanam were ways of worship in Kritha, Tretha and Dwapara yugas.
Nama Keethanam is the most accepted way of worship in Kaliyuga. while Nama keerthanam is a way of wirship in Kali Yuga, Nama Sankeerthanam (group Sathsangh or Group Bhajans) is ideal and better than solo Nama keerthanam. Adi Sankara in Bhaja Govindam says “
Satsangatve nissangatvam
Nissangatve nirmohatvam
Nirmohatve nishchalatattvam
Nishchalatattve jeevanmukti
satsanga (company of good people) leads to non-attachment, which in turn leads to freedom from delusion, self-realization. And Jivan Mukthi( Liberation)
Sri Sathya Saibala says “"Samyak-keerthanam Sankeerthanam" (Congregational singing of bhajans is the best of bhajans). There is a big difference between Keerthanam and Sankeerthanam. Keerthanam is an individual affair. It is singing by an individual for the fulfillment of his prayers. Sankeerthanam aims at the well being of the whole universe. This is also described as Saamaajika bhajans (community singing). This method of singing bhajans was first initiated by Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism.“
Guna Keerthanam ( extolling virtues of God), Leeka Keerthanam (divine acts) are types of Nama Sankeerthanam
Bhajans are rendered reflecting Bhavas such as Shantham, Sakhyam, Vathsaltam, Anuragam and Madhuram.
