Things that I have to say...
July 2010 Bangalore, India
First of All, congratulations for finding this e-book. Art of Living Satsangs today have gained
phenomenal
popularity and any person who hears the Bhajans sung in the Satsangs are mesmerized by
them. I did my first Art of Living program in 2006 and soon started singing in Satsangs. The melody of
the
Bhajans blew me off completely and I found myself floating in a magical world filled with divine
music.
I wanted to learn the bhajans and songs(both singing and playing in the guitar) but sadly I could not
find a handy reference which would introduce me to Satsang as such. So I did my best to search for the
lyrics and chords for the Bhajans which I heard in the few satsangs I attended and the few CD’s I had
bought. I plodded on with attending as many satsangs as I could and figuring out the chords for the
Bhajans I heard. As most Satsang singers, I desperately felt the need of maintaining a notebook
containing
the Bhajan Lyrics and the chords. I searched for bhajans lyrics, chords, e-books etc but
whatever I found left me thoroughly unsatisfied.
Now after conducting Satsangs for more than four years I finally decided to make a compilation of the
lyrics of the most popular Bhajans in Art of Living Satsangs. And I thought why not make it available to
everyone around the world. New singers and instrumentalists can print and use this e-book as a handy
reference which can be carried
to Satsangs.
This e-book has been divided into sections consisting of Bhajans dedicated to Ganesha, Guru, Devi and
so on.. The sections help in singing the bhajans in the order in which Satsangs are usually conducted.
There are handy notes in some pages which i fancied to include as a speciality of each bhajan. Also
mentioned are references
to singer(s) and music album(s) in which you could find the Bhajan. Apart
from the Bhajans I have also included 20 songs which can be(and has been) sung in Art of Living
concerts or other programs.
This e-book is the first edition and includes only lyrics of the bhajans/songs. It also does not contain
all the Art of Living Bhajans but only 108 most popular ones.The 2
nd
Edition will contain more
bhajans, regional
bhajans(kannada/tamil etc.), chords and some additional resources.
