Indeed, Bhagawan had declared in a discourse delivered on the occasion of the First World Conference of the Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisations at Mumbai in July 1968: “This is a human form in which every Divine entity, every Divine Principle, that is to say, all Names and Forms ascribed by man to God, are manifest”. They are universal in character emphasizing the underlying unity of all religions and the fundamental message of love and peace.
It is a remarkable feature of festival celebrations in Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisations that they are not confined to any particular religion or deity. Devotees assemble early in the morning (around 5:30 am) and spread the Divine name in the neighbourhood by singing bhajans on the streets. Nagar Sankirtan activities are held across all Districts and Samithis in the state of andhra Pradesh. It is carrying the name of God to every door and purifying the atmosphere of the streets. Nagar Sankirtan is mass spiritual awakening where people gather in the early hours before dawn and proceed slowly along the streets singing bhajans glorifying God. It is not merely Kirtan (singing), it is Sankirtan (singing together wholeheartedly) to experience and share your joy with one and all. "When you participate in Nagar Sankirtan in the early hours of the day, your heart will be brimming with bliss. When all the participants in a bhajan sing in unison, sacred vibrations are produced and divine energies are released. It encourages man to dive into himself and be genuinely his real Self”.īhajan or devotional singing is a very vital part of Sri Sathya Sai Baba’s teachings.The core intention of Bhajan is to make man cleanse his heart and mind, which will help him to shine in all aspects of life with happiness and peace. “Bhajan singing induces in you a desire for experiencing the truth, to glimpse the beauty that is God, to taste the bliss that is the Self. The activities undertaken by the spiritual wing include the following: It helps to nurture the inner self and awakening the inherent divinity. Thus, the spiritual wing undertakes activities that are targeted to arouse inspiration and inward vision with a view to developing the urge to connect with the inner core.
