Ever felt rhythmic and enchanted listening to the bhajans or kirtan at a mandir or any religious place? It’s because the air is filled with the essence of Bhakti and positive energy.
And as you chant through your deepest inner core, it fills you with the ever-wishing peace and deep connectivity with the divine.
It’s the power of holy sound, which is not just heard but is deeply felt within the soul.
So, how does this thing enhance your devotion towards Paramatma?
Let’s talk about this in detail in this blog, but before that, we will know what the difference is between bhajans and chanting.
Bhajans & Chanting
Bhajans are devotional songs sung to draw a deity closer to oneself. These are sung in local languages and are usually energetic.
Chaenting involves the rhythmic repetition of sacred symbols or mantras, such as when we chant “ॐ नमः शिवाय.” We usually chant it 108 times at once while holding a Chikna Rudraksha Mala as well.
How Do Bhajans & Chanting Enhance Devotion & Worship?
Bhajans and chanting work on sound energy, which is vibrational as well as uplifting. You suddenly feel high by absorbing the pure sounds. Here’s how it enhances one’s devotion and bhakti:
1. It Opens Up The Heart
Bhajans are not just simple songs or music, but they are expressions of love of a person for his or her almighty.
When they chant or sing bhajans in devotion, it opens up their heart chakra and builds a deep connection with the divine.
2. It Calms The Mind
If you ever felt like struggling with negative thoughts often, then bhakti is the only door to calm your mind and make it serene.
Chanting is your mental anchor, and the repetition of mantras or bhajan melodies draws the mind away from distraction.
3. Deepen Connection
Chanting is done in repetition, and it deepens the connection. It’s because the same sacred words repeated again and again transform energy.
Chanting is like falling in love deeply with the divine, and with every chant, you tell your feelings to your Lord.
4. Community Building
When people come together, sing, and chant, a special energy is created. Any place could feel holy when bhajans, devotional music, or chants are done.
The people gather, reflect, and focus on the divine God’s energy, which amplifies the spiritual realm in the collectivity.
5. Everything Is Vibration
It’s been proved in modern physics that what ancient sages always said is true: everything in the universe vibrates. Every atom, every particle, and every living being emits frequency.
And when it comes to devotional sounds, it’s like God is calling you deep from the core of your heart.
6. Works on Restless Energy
People often suffer from mental trauma, stress, anxiety kinds of problems. Bhajans and chanting help people at that time. When bhakti is done through the heart, sessions unite the voice and heart in sacred intention, which helps heal the restless energy people have and promotes healing.
Tips To Start Your Practice
If you ever feel like overwhelmed or struggling through the roller coaster of emotions. Deep dive into prayers, bhajan, and chanting more. Here’s how you can begin your spiritual practice:
a. Start Small: Focus on any mantra that you feel connected with, or choose the mantras of the deity that resonate with your soul.
Speak that loud or humbly, too deep through the heart to feel the presence of divine energy in you. Such as “Om”, “ Om Namah Shivaya”, “Jai Shree Ram”
b. Listen to Devotional Songs: Except for just listening or chanting the sacred hymns or bhajans, one can start their spiritual journey by listening to religious and devotional songs as well. Play your favorites and sing along.
c. Focus on Consistency: Consistency or sticking to routine chanting is a must. Dedicate some time to this to uplift spiritually and connect with the deity.
d. Focus On Feeling: When you try to connect with God, don’t do it just for routines or for perfection. Do it from the heart, focus on your feel or intent, which must be true and pure.
e. Watch Devotional Shows or Series: To deeply know the deity or the divine teachings, or the stories, you can watch the series or shows related to it. You just have to research it on different social telecasts.
A Bonus Tip: You can start listening to some great, fabulous devotional songs of Simpal Kheral, Krishna Das, and Anuradha Paudwal for soulful beginnings.
