Global Akhanda Bhajan 2011 commences…

Global Akhanda Bhajan 2011 commenced this evening at 1800 hrs. here in Prasanthi Nilayam. When the theme bhajan for this twenty-four hour spiritual exercise, “Akhanda Jyothi Jalaao …Sai Mana Mandir Mein” echoed in Prasanthi, thousands assembled in the resplendent Sai Kulwant Hall joined in chorus sinking in nostalgic memoirs of the golden past when Bhagawan would officiate the Akhanda Bhajan. Bhajans continued with boys and girls from Prasanthi Nilayam and Anantapur Campus sang in alternate turns..

Earlier the bhajans commenced with invocatory Ganesha bhajan, sung with aalap, “Suklambharadaram Vishnum…”. An announcement on the Darshan schedules for tonight and tomorrow and about Prasadam at the end of the bhajans was announced before the commencement of the bhajans. Various groups of devotees would sing in turns during the entire night before students once again take over in the morning.
