7. Bhajana Sandhya by Pujya Guruji Swami Tejomayanandaji
On 22nd January 2012, a special Bhajana Sandhya by Pujya Guruji Swami Tejomayanandaji was organized at Chinmaya Vibhooti, as part of the Pranav Ganesh Mandir inauguration camp. Each one of these delightful, heart-warming and immensely moving bhajanas have been written, composed and sung by none other than Pujya Guruji himself.
CCMT is extremely pleased to be able to share the video recording of the Bhajan Sandhya, in ten separate parts, that’s one bhajana per week for the next ten weeks – a much-awaited devotional treat for the Chinmaya Mission global family!
The videos can be viewed on the official channel of Chinmaya Mission, via YouTube.
A few words about the first bhajan video: Keeping the occasion in mind, Pujya Guruji began the program by invoking Lord Pranav Ganesha in a prayerful and soulful rendition, sweet and pleasing to the ears and to the heart. It was a perfect start to a perfect evening.
Stay connected for next week’s email about the second bhajana video.
