Bhajans for the sittings

The songs sung at our bhajan sittings, in Malayalam. Tap a title to open the full lyrics, or search by any word — Malayalam or English.

Transcription in progress. All three planned batches from the scanned songbook are typed up below — forty-eight bhajans in all. Two of them are missing a page's worth of text from the middle of a scan; the standard printed version fills the gap for now, until that page turns up. If you spot a mistake, please tell us — corrections are very welcome.

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, in three batches. 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, and mention the song's title and its page number in the book if you can — every song on this page carries its source page for exactly this reason.
