We have changed the indications for lines which are repeated and have eliminated any instructions for the sangat’s responses; we rec- ognize and respect the fact that “local versions” are sung diff erent- ly in many places. The bhajans included are our att empt at a close approximation of the way they are sung in the U.S. All the songs have been sung at Sant Ji’s ashram in India. approved by Sant Ji for inclusion, and the translations and transliterations have been checked by Raaj Kumar Bagga (“Pappu”). There are three appen- dices containing recent bhajans by Sant Ji, added in 1988, 1992, and 1996. In 2002, previously unpublished bhajans by Sant Ji and other Masters were added to Appendix III . The transliterations aim to represent the actual Punjabi or Hindi words which make up the bhajans - not the sounds of those words when sung. By listening to the tapes of these bhajans (available from the Sant Bani Tape Service), you will be able to learn them fairly easily. Keep in mind that Punjabi and Hindi consonants may stand alone without a vowel - in fact the consonants have an “a” sound built in, therefore words such as “Kabir” and “Satguru” might be sung as “Kabir-a” and “Sat-a-guru.” As Sant Ji has said, the most important thing is that they be sung with love. The quote on the pocket in back is from Sing the Praises of the Satguru. Chapter 9, “Expressing Our Heart in the Bhajans.” Table of Contents I.
