O Bhagavan is the first studio CD of bhajans
recorded by Harma & Cro Bhajan Group in Zagreb, Croatia,
and released in 2007.
This CD of bhajans (songs of divine worship)
is meant for Westeners-not only for listening purposes, but also for active participation through singing and practicing
bhajans with the CD itself. All intonations are adapted for the average vocal range of Westeners, both male and female,
to allow most to be able to sing along with the CD. Also, all bhajans are sung in a manner understandable and acceptable
to Westeners (without over-complicated Indian vocal figures), as well as harmonized and arranged to be more familiar
to the Western listener while at the same time respecting the melody, lyrics and strict structure of the bhajan. We
have tried to bring together the eastern beauty and irresistibility (and also incomprehensibility) of bhajans and
the love and desire of Westeners who desperately long to sing them, but experience difficulty in doing so.
The Cro Bhajan Group was founded at the beginning
of the 1990's in Zagreb as a study group for the learning and practicing of bhajans within the Zagreb (Croatian) Sai
Organization. After many years of practice and experience in which we learned and standardized much, at the same time
helping people from Zagreb and other parts of Croatia to embrace and learn bhajans more easily, we came to the conclusion
that this might also be of aid to other Westeners. It was for this reason that, at an interview in January 1997, we
asked Swami for his permission and blessing for the recording of the bhajans in a "western way" upon which
He decisively answered, "Yes, do it! I bless it!". And so, there you have the result before you. We would
especially like to express our gratitude to dr. Ali Husein from Geneva, as well as his dear wife, Zahra, who held
a seminar in Zagreb in the mid 1990's in which we learned some of the basic elements regarding bhajans, as well as
many of the most beautiful bhajans, of which some are herewith presented. We thank you.
Multimedial CD
Besides songs in standard audio format, playable in all standard CD players, this multimedial CD also offers all songs
in mp3 format, video clip, notes with lyrics and chords, as well as lyrics with chords, translations and glossary,
and the most important Sai Baba's discourse about bhajans, and some nice pictures. All this can be opened in standard
computers.
Thanks be to Swami for His help, leadership and blessings.
Thanks be to Him for enabling all of this.
Thanks be to Him for Himself...

O Bhagavan je prvi studijski CD bhajana koji su snimili
Harma &
Cro Bhajan Group u Zagrebu od 2002-2005 godine u dvije verzije - na Hindiju/Sanskrtu
i u Hrvatskom prepjevu.
Ovaj CD bhajana (bogoštovnih pjesama) namijenjen
je Zapadnjacima - ne samo za uživanje u slušanju, nego i za aktivno sudjelovanje, to jest, pjevanje i vježbanje bhajana
uz CD. Sve intonacije prilagođene su prosječnom rasponu glasa Zapadnjaka (i muških, i ženskih), tako da većina uz
CD može pjevati. Svi su bhajani, također, otpjevani na način razumljiviji i prihvatljiviji Zapadnjacima (bez nekih
prekompliciranih indijskih ukrasa), te harmonizirani i aranžirani na način koji je Zapadnjacima bliži, poštujući pri
tom točnost melodije i teksta i strogu strukturu bhajana. Nastojali smo pomiriti istočnjačku ljepotu i neodoljivost
(ali i nerazumljivost) bhajana s ljubavlju i čežnjom Zapadnjaka koji ih silno žele pjevati, ali im pri tom 'nije lako'.
Cro Bhajan Group osnovana je početkom '90tih
godina u Zagrebu, kao studijska grupa za učenje i vježbanje bhajana u okrilju zagrebačke (hrvatske) Sai organizacije.
Nakon što smo kroz dugogodišnju praksu i iskustva puno toga naučili i standardizirali, pomogavši pritom Zagrepčanima
i ostalim Hrvatima da lakše prigrle i nauče bhajane, te uvidjevši od kolike im je to pomoći, zaključili smo da bi
to moglo biti od pomoći i ostalim Zapadnjacima. Zato smo na intervjuu u siječnju 1997. upitali Svamija za dozvolu
i blagoslov za snimanje bhajana na 'zapadnjački način', na što je On odgovorio odlučno: "Yes, do it! I bless
it!" I eto - rezultat se nalazi pred vama.
Posebno bismo se htjeli zahvaliti dr. Aliju Huseinu iz Geneve i njegovoj dragoj supruzi Zahri koji su nam sredinom
90tih održali u Zagrebu bhajan seminar na kojem smo naučili neke osnovne stvari u vezi s bhajanima, kao i cijeli niz
najljepših bhajana, od kojih vam neke ovdje i predstavljamo. Puno im hvala.
Multimedijski CD
Na ovom multimedijskom CD-u koji možete slušati u svim standardnim CD playerima, uz bhajane u standardnom audio formatu
nalaze se i sve pjesme u mp3 formatu, video spot, note s tekstovima i akordima, te tekstovi s akordima, prijevodima
i rječnikom i, što je posebno dragocjeno, Sai Babin govor o bhajanima, kao i nekoliko lijepih (i rijetkih) slika.
Sve to možete otvoriti u svakom standardnom kompjuteru.
Hvala Svamiju na pomoći, vodstvu i blagoslovima.
Hvala Mu što nam je svima omogućio sve ovo.
Hvala Mu na Njemu...
