I often sing bhajans to Shiva... who represents the one conscisouness beyond time/space and in all time/space... as well as my ideal arche-type. However the bhajans I use are rock n roll songs from the counter-culture that have a mystical message; moody blues, grateful dead, beatles, doors and so on. "I am He, as you are He, as you are me, and we are all together." - The Beatles I picture "he" to be Shiva.

May Thou and I be one and inseparable like Azhagu and Sundara, Oh Arunachala! Entering (my) home and luring me (to Thine) why didst Thou keep me prisoner in Thy heart's cavern, Oh Arunächala? Was it for Thy pleasure or for my sake Thou didst win me? If now Thou turn me away, the world will blame Thee, Oh Arunachala! Escape this blame! Why didst thou then recall Thyself to me? How can I leave Thee now, Oh Arunachala? (a) Kinder far art Thou than one's own mother. Is this then Thy all-kindness, Oh Arunachala? (b) Kinder indeed art Thou than one's own mother, such is thy love, Oh Arunachala! (a) Sit firmly in my mind, lest it elude Thee, Oh Arunachala! (b) Change not Thy nature and flee, but hold fast in my mind, Oh Arunachala! (a) Display Thy beauty, for the fickle mind to see Thee forever and to rest (in peace), Oh Arunachala! (b) The strumpet mind will cease to walk the streets if only she finds Thee. Disclose thy beauty then and hold her bound, Oh Arunachala! (c) The mind by her unsteadiness prevents my seeking Thee and finding peace; (hold her and) grant me the vision of thy beauty, Oh Arunachala! After abducting me if now Thou dost not embrace me, where is Thy chivalry, Oh Arunachala? Does it become Thee thus to sleep when I am outraged by others, Oh Arunachala? Even when the thieves of the five senses break in upon me, art Thou not still in my heart, Oh Arunachala?

I just found this awesome book in Chicago - a primary source for hundreds and hundreds of bhajans composed by a variety of saints, both Hindu and Muslim. Simply lovely.

there used to be several places on the internet where you could down load preformances of them for free. i'm talking legitimately. and without having to join anything. because it's a spirit thing. i haven't the slightest idea what any of the words mean, but they are truly beautiful to listen too. maybe, probably, because i don't. but i do feel/experience them as something spiritual.
om jai jagdish hare is my favorite i used to know the whole thing. i lost faith over time and stopped singing, and eventually i forgot it all.
Sorry to resurrect a old thread, (scold if you want) but does anyone have any bhajans for Brahman? I'm not one to worship a specific deva. I'd much prefer honoring them all by honoring the One in them all. Does that make sense? I guess Aum would work...
Om isn't a bhajan though. A bahjan is a song. (different from a mantra) And as far as I'm aware bhajans are part of devotional Hinduism which is focused on god forms, avatars etc such as Krishna and Rama. I don't think there's actually a path in Hinduism for devotion to Brahman as the indefinable, formless, featureless.
I know Aum isn't a bhajan. Fine, does anyone know any bhajan for Smartism? With Vishnu, Shiva, Ganesh, Devi, and Surya? I'm sure I could find ones for each god/goddess, though.
