Ambaa Starts Bhajan Practice

Ambaa Starts Bhajan Practice September 2, 2014

Brad and I have been attending a Sathya Sai Baba bhajan singing group for a little over a year now. We love the community there. We don’t manage to get there every week but we do try. It’s a nice little service most of which is people leading bhajans.

Bhajans are a call and response type hymn with simple lyrics (though sometimes complex melodies).

My friends there have been encouraging me to try leading one of these songs and so I’ve taken some weeks to pick one out and start practicing.

I used to sing when I was young but nothing professional and I’ve never had any training in Indian style music.

So I thought I’d make a video of my practice to see if you can offer suggestions and advice (and maybe some encouragement!)

The bhajan is…

Jagadishwari Daya Karo Maa
Shiva Shankari Krupa Karo Maa
Saishwari Raksha Karo Maa
Parthiswari Bhala Karo Maa
Shiva Shankari Krupa Karo Maa

O Divine Mother of the Universe, Mother Parthishwari Sai! Have mercy on us and favour us with Thy help and blessings.

Here’s my video:

Here’s what it’s based on:
