Discussion on Discourse 11 (Jun 01, 1973) - Part 4

Among the thousands of discourses delivered by Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, those that He gave as part of the Summer Course series are remarkably special. They are focused on specific spiritual themes, and as they are for youngsters, the elucidation is gradual. In this series, members of SSSMC go through the discourses delivered as part of the 1973 Summer Course Series. These discourses were on Adi Shankara's Bhaja Govindam.

'Shravanam Mananam Nidhidhyasanam' which can be translated as 'Listen, Reflect and Assimilate' is a Vedantic edict to the spiritual aspirant on how the Supreme Truths are to be approached and absorbed. In this series, short clips of the discourses are listened to and reflected upon, with the prayer that the assimilation happens.

This is an evergreen series which facilitates anyone to learn and sing Sai Bhajans the way it is sung everydayduring the prayer sessions in the Sai Kulwant Hall, Prasanthi Nilayam.

The notes, lyrics, raga, rhythm, the meaning and stories concerning the bhajan are explained in detail. If youare a Sai bhajan enthusiast, you may enjoy this!
