Bhajans, Kirtans, Songs of Yoga and Worship.
 

Thought it would be nice to open a thread dedicated to Bhajans and Kirtans, Songs of Worship of any Religion and no Religion. But it seems appropriate to open it in the Hindu because for me Hinduism has the deepest connection to the 'Vitally Important ' use of sound vibration as a means of Yoga to God and our Divine Natures. You can never hear enough music to awaken to our Divine Nature. Within my own culture (Irish) there is music to transport you into deeper and freer spaces etc. Songs that stir your soul..Namaste :smile:

The very gentle yet subtle singing of this Hare Krsna Devotee I very much enjoy :)

Chidananda Rupa Shivoham Shivoham
 

This is one of my favorite Shiva chants from Shankaracharya.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHWCnqlBBlo

The lyrics (in Sanskrit with English translation) are included on YouTube.

I am not mind, nor intellect, nor ego,
nor the reflections of inner self (chitta).
I am not the five senses.
I am beyond that.
I am not the ether, nor the earth, nor the fire, nor the wind (the five elements). I am indeed, That eternal knowing and bliss,Shiva,love and pure consciousness.

etc. etc. etc.

Gyatri Mantra
 

The Gyatri Mantra is another one of my personal favorites.
