It is a waste of time to keep on talking about all that is going on in the world. You reduce your vital energy when you do this.

In the Ashram, the devotees come together every evening to sing bhajans in the temple. By singing devotional songs and repeating prayers or mantras, you purify the atmosphere of the home or spiritual centre. By singing with feeling, you fill yourself and your surroundings with the finest and highest energies.

“Bhajan songs express the true qualities of Divinity in its many aspects and forms. These are essentially the qualities which the aspirant should try to cultivate within him or herself. So regular singing of bhajans creates a state of mind in the singer, whereby for a short period, he forgets the world and his troubles and confusion and immerses himself in higher thoughts. In such a state it is possible that a devotional person may feel the supreme joy and deep peace of mind within."

Swami Premananda

Bhajans are not simply an aid to spirituality; they have been the actual means for many saints to attain unity with God. You cannot understand the ‘taste’ of devotion unless you experience it for yourself. Sing bhajans with feeling for some time and experience the effect on your own mind.
