In India’s rich spiritual tradition devotional songs (bhajans) and poetry have played a central role in helping bhaktas (devotees) attain to God-Consciousness.

The profound reason behind this has been explained by Swami Vivekananda, who was himself such an evocative singer that simply by listening to his devotional songs, his guru Sri Ramakrishna, would immerse in the deepest Samadhi (God-Consciousness).

“The greatest aid to [the] practice of keeping God in memory is, perhaps, music. The Lord says to Narada, the great teacher of Bhakti, “I do not live in heaven, nor do I live in the heart of the Yogi, but where My devotees sing My praise, there am I”.

“Music has such tremendous power over the human mind; it brings it to concentration in a moment. You will find the dull, ignorant, low, brute-like human beings, who never steady their mind for a moment at other times, when they hear attractive music, immediately become charmed and concentrated. Even the minds of animals, such as dogs, lions, cats and serpents, become charmed with music.” (Source: Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda, Volume 4.)

“Any song — if one’s whole soul is in that song (as was Tulsidas’ and Meera Bai’s), one attains salvation (Moksha, Samadhi), one has nothing else to do. It leads to the same goal as meditation.”
