About this songbook

These are the bhajans sung at the Sangha's sittings. Almost all of them are traditional compositions passed down orally and through printed collections; they are reproduced here so that anyone attending a sitting can follow along.

The text is being typed from the Sangha's printed songbook. Scanned pages are run through optical character recognition and then proofread by hand — OCR is not fully reliable on Malayalam, especially with older spellings, so mistakes are likely at first. Please report anything that looks wrong.
