Lakshmi Shankar - Mirabai Meerabai Bhajan - Janama Marana
Must listen!
Sahasranama ji,
How it is possible to post a link to "Bhajan"
Truely "Bhajan" is not ment by any Devotional song,
"Bhajan" means, trying to stop the "Mind" from running in the outside world & concentrate in "God" or God's name.
"Bhaj = running
an" = stopping
Combine both means: To stop the mind from running,
Any action, which helps in the concentration of the attention and promotes love for the Lord can be called as "Bhajan"
Contrarily any action, which keeps the attention away from the eye centre or third eye, can be called as running of "Mind"
jasdir.
For all practical purposes I will use bhajan to mean devotional song. Language is not perfect, if we needed an exact word for every concept we would need millions of words. But because of indexicality language is very efficient and we need only a few thousand words. The meaning of a word depends largely on the context.
Consider the following sentence:
"The man saw the woman with a telescope."
Can you see the ambiguity without knowing the context?
I am no Sanskrit scholar, but the root bhaj has the following meaning: bhaj to worship; to honour, to divide; to be attached to, to serve;
It's possible your meaning of the word is perfectly valid, but my use of the word is not wrong. Let's not get caught up in semantics. I opened this threads to share Hindu devotional music also known as bhajans.
This is the bhajan I wanted to post today:

Sahasranama, I agree with Ramakrishna; all versions of Govardhana Giridhara were lovely, but the first was so beautiful and clear. It's bookmarked in my favourites now.

I suppose VishnusahasranAm must be somewhere deep in this thread, since it was started by Sahasranama ? If not, here is my favorite version - M.S. Subalakshmi, but at a slower pace, with translation.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2ood...layer_embedded
This video is from http://www.vishnusahasranama.org , "Esoteric Teachings".
For those who don't know already, VishnusahasranAm is the thousand names of VishNu spoken by Bhishmaji when Yudhishthir asks "Who Who Who IS IT..." as Bhishma lay on the bed of arrows in Mahabharat. Sage Vaishampayan intercepts.
Jai Shri KRshNa ~
I don't think I have posted the Vishnu Sahasranama in this thread. Thank you for that link, I really like the slower version too.
