Gouri Nandana Gajanana - AOL bhajan Vikram Hazra



This devotional song is a part of Vikram Hazra songs and bhajans.

The lyrics of song with guitar chords below (However Vikram bhaiya is playing different chords and his style is different and difficult to catch. He is self taught musician and brings about good variations) Most amazing part of attending his bhajans is one gets the taste of divinity and get transported to some other world.

Shobhaa de a famous writer by occupation blogged about the Vikrambhaiya's satsang recently.

पाहि प्रभो पाहि प्रशन्ना
गौरी नंदन गजानना गिरिजा नंदन निरंजना

Ganesha Sharanam Mantra Chanting





The above video has beautiful chanting of Ganesh Sharanam along with good music and vocals. The chanting is Ganesh Sharanam, Sharanam Ganesha is dedicated to the Elephant God Shri Ganesh.

Also see Ganesh Chaturthi Mantras and songs
Sharan (शरण )means surrender, Surrendering to the divine energy is the way to love and be one with God. Surrendering to the divine energy, the devotee surrenders totally to the divine and let the divine energy work on the self. The Divine energy purifies the devotee and also protects from lowering impulses like fear, greed and lust.

When this song is sung with bhav ( ) - feeling from heart and one is able to surrender, it works miracle. Chanting with deep feeling from the heart is always far better than just chanting from mind and without heart and soul poured into the same. Chant this mantra from within the depth of your heart, feel the surrender to the divine and let the divine love work on you.

Jai Ganesh
Aum Sai Ram

गणेश शरणम, यहाँ मंत्र छोटा पर बड़ा अर्थपूर्ण है. जब भक्त यहाँ मंत्र को अपने दिल से गता है और गणेशजी की शरण हो जाता है, तब गणेशजी का दिव्या प्रेम उनके ऊपर काम करता है. यहाँ मंत्र अत्यंत भावपूर्ण रूप से गाना चाहिए. शरण का मतलब, बस अब गणेशजी आप ही सब करेंगे, मैं कुछ भी नहीं करूँगा. आपके दिव्या प्रेम को मैं शरण होता हूँ और, आपके दिव्य प्रेम को अपना शुद्धिकरण और रक्षा करने दूंगा.

ॐ गनेशैय नमः
श्री साईनाथाय नमः

This is a very good mantra bhajan. Mantra Bhajans have a mantra which is sung repeatedly along with the music. Thus creating a divine aura and vibrations all around and within the singers and the listeners. Thus it serves the satsang or kirtan and the chanting of the divine mantra.

Vasudev is one of the name of Lord Krishna. This mantra is often chanted and sung in devotion to Lord Krishna. The sacred and holy script Srimad Bhaagwat Geeta starts with this mantra.

Below is the video of the mantra bhajan sung in one of Art of Living Satsangs



One more nice upload on you tube videos




Translation of the verse of Mantra can be found on this link.
