Om Tat Sat – Sai Bhajan

Our group, has chosen to sing & play via western notations, one of the most popular Interfaith prayers, composed by Vinoba Bhave - also known as the "Teacher Of India" and the spiritual successor to mahatma Gandhi.

Vinoba's religious outlook was very broad and it synthesized the truths of many religions. This can be seen in one of his hymns "Om Tat" which contains symbols of many religions. He was also a scholar of many languages.

This prayer preaches the truth that there is one god though we may refer to him by many names. Please refer to the "Detailed Meaning" link which lists out the various deitites named in this song along with the religion associated with it.

Our teacher and composer Mrs Durga Krishnan has composed the background music and arranged the orchestra.

There are a lot of new additons to the group, mainly children. Click on the link below to hear our unique rendering of ths bhajan.
