Satsang - Art of Living Bhajans Lyrics (pdf)

For a long time I had this idea of making a compilation of Art of Bhajans(AOL) lyrics which people would be able to benefit even if they are in some remoter corner of the world.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.. New singers and instrumentalists can print and use this e-book as a handy reference which can be carried to Satsangs.
Satsang – Art of Living Bhajans(AOL) Lyrics, is a free e-book in pdf format. You can print this book directly and spiral bind it for ease of use. My suggestion is to print the first two pages as colour print-out and the rest can be black and white also.
REQUEST: Instead of posting this e-book as an email newsletter, I have just given the link so you can directly download it. But if you like this e-book then please leave a comment or send me an email saying that you have downloaded it. This way I will know how many have downloaded it.
Also if you have any suggestions for improvement,,, or if you find any mistakes..... As a service to all, you got to let me know about it.

Leave a comment.  Jai Gurudev!

Do you listen to a song or to an Album?

Most of us listen to a song.
What I mean by this is that we come to know of the Artist by listening to the song and not the other way around.
For example, I came to know about Simon and Garfunkel when someone suggested me to listen to “ Sound of Silence”.
So if we are a casual listener, as opposed to a “FAN”, we tend to listen to popular numbers from a myraid collection of artists and from various genres of music. We come to know of a famous song from some where and that song finds  its way into our i-pods or mp3 players.
As opposed to the above is following a particular artist and listening to their complete albums. In the last few months I’ve been trying to listen to complete album of a few artists and I’ve found it very fulfilling. It’s as if I’m connected to that artist or band, and I’m part of their thoughts and happenings. It also helps me to understand what the musician is all about.
Curently I’m listening to Dave Matthew’s Band “Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux king” .
Try to do this:
“Mentally shut down all the songs which are there in your ipod or mp3 player, just take one album of some artist whom you like and listen to it when you feel like listening to music. When the mind is not bombarded by choices, it settles down and you’ll feel something wonderful coming out of listening to the music of that particular person or band.”

Let me know abour your experiences..

I'm Currently listening to Dave Mathhew's band...

Satsang at Warangal.

Have been busy doing Satsangs for the past few months.. we had few in Bangalore and one in Coimbatore...

That's the pic from a local newspaper, it's in telegu.


Just came back from Warangal, Andhra Pradesh after conducting a Satsang there.
Had a comfortable train trip till Hyderabad and another one from there till Warangal.
A YES+ course conducted by Amarja and Raghav was in full swing on Saturday when we(me and Ramya) reached there.Around 380 participants were doing the course and the Hall where the course was happening was one of the best decorated one I have ever seen.The volunteers there had put their heart and soul to see that the participants had the best times of their life. Each Chart was like an Art Piece which would have easily taken hours to prepare. The volunteers were always on their toes to see if anybody needs anything. Just look at the sample pictures which I took from my Cell phone..
We had a brief demo Satsang with 3 bhajans on Saturday in the course and the participants were already on their feet right from the first bhajan.

Sunday was a full day and on the evening the participants had brought their friends and parents for the Satsang.. So we were all around 500 people..
The 2 hour long Satsang was amazing with tremendous response bringing 500 people on their feet when we hit “Dama dam Mast Kalandar”...
 “Jai Jai Radha Ramana” had to be repeatedly postponed 3-4 times.
It was all blissfully Chaotic....



Stumbling into infinity - A review.

As of now (August 2010), This book has not been released in India yet. However I got my hands on it as someone had got it from the U.S. and just had the time to read about half of the book. (Thanks to Tapan bhaiya from Hyderabad)



Michael Fischman is one of the first few Art of Living teachers in the United States and has known Guruji since the early 80’s . Incidentally he describes his first meeting with him when he was still travelling with Maharshi Mahesh Yogi.
“Stumbling into infinity” is a book which I think comes in line with path breaking books like “ Autobiography of a Yogi” e.t.c. but which is much more contemporary and also relevant in this new age..
People who are associated with Art of Living or those who are even curious to know about what Art of Living is and who Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is, will find this book utterly fascinating. Its like reading the history of the Organisation written  as a personal memoir...

Mike, through the very detailed stories about how Guruji helped and guided him personally to grow in the path, also presents a very personal face of Sri Sri, who is today among one of the most famous personalities of this century.

If you just want Guru stories... then this book is a treasure... also revealing a few stories about Guruji which were unheard of ... even in Art of Living circles..
I can’t help but write about a few which had a big impact when I read them:

First One:
Mike writes about Maharshi Mahesh Yogi’s visit to Anand Mayi Maa. She is the same saint who is mentioned as “ Anand mOyi Ma” by Paramahamsa Yogananda in “Autobiography of a Yogi”.
Maharshi Mahesh Yogi had taken Guruji(that time known as Pundit Ravi Shankar) to meet her. When Anand Mayi Maa saw Guruji, she faced to Maharshi and told “Oh! Today you have brought to me the Ganga!” .... a little later clarifying further Anand mayi maa says “You have brought to me the one who will wash away ignorance from this earth!”..............  (goosebumps.....  J J)

Second One:
Mike mentions about his first visit to India when he was staying in Jayanagar at Gurujis’ residence. Bhanu didi, Rajshree Patel and a few others are mentioned..
Amidst other conversations, Guruji casually says to Mike( the author)  “ You know Mike, you should write down your experiences now.... someday they will inspire millions of people around the world...”
In 1989, this would not have made any sense . Now you know how...
