Devotional Singing And Tts Effect On Your Mind And Actions


by Sunil Kumar D.
Devotional singing of Bhajans is the method of singing that originates in the heart and comes out of our tongue.

It teaches your mind to comprehend the glory and majesty of God and stay away from petty horizons of pleasure. Devotional singing induces in you a desire for experiencing the truth, the glimpses of beauty that is God, and the taste of the bliss that is total godliness.
