"You
get joy when you sing and clap together
with similar devotional feelings in your hearts"
-
Baba -
"Music
is the instrument by which passions
are sublimated, emotions are tamed,
impulses directed to higher purposes"
-
Baba -
"Bhajan
(devotional singing) is one of the processes by which you can
train the mind to expand into eternal values.
Teach the mind to revel in the glory and majesty of God;
wear it away from petty horizons of pleasure.
Bhajan induces in you a desire for experiencing the Truth,
to glimpse the Beauty that is God; to taste the Bliss that is the
Self.
It encourages man to dive into himself and be genuinely his real
Self.
Once that search is desired, the path is easy.
One has only to be reminded that he is divine..."
-
Baba -
"You
should sing wholeheartedly with the desire to please
God.
God makes no distinction between a proficient musician and a
beggar in the street.
It is the devotion and sincerity that matter. Merge your
soul in the Bhajans you sing.
Spiritualize your Bhajan singing. Then you will experience
real bliss..."
-
Baba -
"Your
life is a song on the Glory of God.
Sing it with all your soul, sing it aloud,
sing it in chorus so that the atmosphere polluted by the noise of
greed, hatred,
and envy can be purified by the holy vibrations..."
-
Baba -
"Those
who sing Bhajans get what can be called 'double promotion' for
they derive joy and distribute joy.
You can relish the Bhajan as you make it a daily function, like
eating and sleeping.
You eat twice a day for the upkeep of the body:
should you not do Bhajan at least once for the upkeep of the
mind?"

'My Life is My Message' 162 MB
"The Lord can
be addressed by any name that tastes sweet to your tongue,
or pictured in any form that appeals to your sense of wonder and
awe.
You can sing of Him as Muranga, Ganapathi, Sarada, Jesus,
Maitreyi, Shakti;
or you can call on Allah, or the Formless, or the Master of all
Forms.
It makes no difference at all. He is the beginning, the
middle, and the end;
the basis, the substance, and the source."

heart should be abounding with love, "Let
the different faiths exist, let them flourish and let
the Glory of God be sung in all the languages, and in
a verity of tunes. That should be the
ideal. Respect the differences between the
faiths and recognize them as valid as long as they do
not extinguish the flames of unity..." [*]

speech:
'Premasvarupala!' - 'Embodyments of love'
"The spirit present in all of the beings is varily
seen as that of mind. They are all full of the
essential love. Without love, it is all just a pun,
without love you can not be happy."
Sarve Tushyanti Jatavaha
Tasmat Tadeva Kartavyam
Tadat Tasmeva Kartavyam
Vachaneka Daridratam
If pleasing sentences predominate your
speech,
everyone will be happy.
Therefore it is your duty that
your talks aren't devoid of such
words. 
Mata Laduma Mukunda Manasu Thiraga
Veda Saramantha Tisi Nagarupamuganu Marchi
Vinuvandu Thirugabosi Ganarupamuganu Maku
Oh Krishna! Sing a song like sweetness of nectar
(amrit) flows.
Oh Mukunda!
Talk with me till my heart satisfies.
Oh Krishna! Sing the essence of the Vedas in a musical
rhythm
from the Divine Flute. 
Karyasurata Kshininchi Karagipoye
Bhakti Visvasamulandu Rakti Tolage
Badhyatalu Leni Svatantraparatra Heche
Neti Vidyardhi Bratuku i Pati Daye
The valorous speech has crossed all leaps bounds.
The efficiency in action has decreased and melted
away.
Interest in devotion and faith have been lost.
Freedom bereft of responsibility has increased.
This how the life of today's student has
become. 
Garvamu Vahinchanradu
Mikunna Chaduvu Ae Partidi
Vidyakun Vinayeme Sadrupamu
Garva Ahamkaramul Vidi
Hrudi Tanan Ghatimchedan
Sugati Voyi Avidyapati
Students! One should not pride oneself by one's
learning.
To what extent is your knowledge?
True education is being humble, sheading one's ego and
pride,
and following the right path, oh Master of
foolishness! 
Sanmanamun Galgu
Satya Yutudundu Sowkya Yasassunandu
Satya Jivitamunakanna Mitya Mediledu
Yunna Mata Telupu Chunnamata
A speaker of truth is bestowed with happiness by truth
itself.
There is nothing more everlasting than the life of
truthfulness,
the fact as being revealed! 
Jehova e Amchu Satchristavulu
Pullabjachnu Datamchu Vaishnavulu
Sambho Amchu Saivulu Sada
Prahladambuna Golva Andarikin Ayu Arogya
Sampada Labhambu Losangi Sam Rakshinchu
Devundu Okkade Amchu Abavimpudi
Mohammedans
say "Allah"!
Christians say "Jehovah"!
Vaishnavas say "Vishnu"!
Shaivites say "Shambo"!
When worshipped with joy,
the God who confers longevity and health
and protects is only one. Believe in
this. 
Prachhanna Gupatam Dhanam
Vidya Bhogakari Yassubhakari
Vidya Gurunam Guru
Vidya Bandujane Videsagamane

Vidya Rajasu Pujate Nahi Dhanam

Vidya (true learning) is far superior to
humans.
Vidya confers fame and auspiciousness.
Vidya is the teacher of all teachers.
Vidya is the relative when traveling abroad.
Vidya confers supreme vision.
Vidya is worshiped and honored by kings and not by
money.
Man devoid of Vidya is verily a
beast.
