How do Indian Bhajans come to Switzerland
Some Swiss Sai devotees and musicians dedicate themselves to singing, playing and teaching these Bhajans. For this purpose they have edited books with the transcription from original Indian audio sources of 3 x 108 Bhajans (324 Bhajans) in western music notation.
Why do we sing Bhajans
In 1968 Sathya Sai Baba said: "Sing aloud the glory of God and charge the atmosphere with divine adoration; the clouds will pour the sanctity through rain on the fields; the crops will feed on it and purify and fortify the food; the food will induce divine urges in man. This is the chain of progress. This is the reason why I insist on group singing of the names of the Lord."
One sunny afternoon, a group of boys from the village, all with mischievous grins and patches of curiosity in their eyes, decided to visit Elara. They had heard tales of her remarkable abilities and were eager to see them firsthand. As they approached her cottage, they noticed Elara was not alone; she was with Starlight, who was adorned with a beautiful, hand-woven saddle.
Elara's home was a cozy cottage on the edge of the village, surrounded by tall trees that seemed to lean in, as if listening to her every move. Among her many talents, Elara was also skilled in horseback riding. She had a special pony named Starlight, a creature as gentle as the morning dew and as swift as the wind. Starlight was no ordinary pony; she was a gift from the village, raised and trained by Elara herself.
The boys watched in awe as Elara effortlessly mounted Starlight, her movements fluid and in perfect harmony with the pony. With a gentle kick and a soft voice, Starlight began to move, her hooves barely touching the ground. The boys followed, their patched and worn jeans a testament to their love for adventure and the outdoors.
