Chanting Practice (Part 3)
One of the albums I listen to for my daily chanting practice is called “Jaya Bhagavan.” It is by Tina Malia & Shimshai. I truly love the vocals of these artists and the intentions they evoke with each song. One of the songs on the album is actually called “Jaya Bhagavan.” It is a wonderful chant. Here is what it means…
“Bhagavan is a term for God, particularly in the Vaishnava traditions where God is conceived as a caring, compassionate
person concerned for the welfare of his creatures. It indicates the Supreme Being conceived as a Personal God, which
differentiates its usage from other similar terms such as Brahman, the ‘Supreme Spirit.’ It is generally translated by the
English word Lord. Bhagavan can also be an honorific title for a God-realized (i.e. fully enlightened) human being or an
incarnation of God in human form (avatara) such as Bhagavan Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita.”
When you want to give praise to the Higher Essence (and that includes the Divine that resides within you) this is a beautiful incantation to sing or chant. The vibration of the words resonate to expand your highest gifts and potential.
