What Is So Mesmerising about Morari Bapu Bhajan?

In order to find out just what is so mesmerising about Morari Bapu bhajans, we have to explore just who Morari Bapu is. Born on September 25, 1946, in Talgajarda, Bapu, whose real name is actually Moraridas Prabhudas Hariyani, is a famous Hindi preacher or kathakaar.

He is famous for offering sermons that can last as long as nine days, and he has been doing these all over the planet in Hindi meditation music. Going back to the 1970s, it would not be unusual to find Morari Bapu offering his famous sanskrit devotional songs sermons in and on all sorts of venues: on a plane, aboard a cruise ship on the Mediterranean Sea, in Uganda, in Kenya, in South Africa, in the United Kingdom, in the United States, and, of course, in India.

As of the present day, Bapu has performed more than 700 of these kathaas, according to Wikipedia, and the majority of them are based upon Tulsidas’ Ramcharitmanas. Before we get into exactly what is so mesmerising about Morari Bapu’s bhajans, we have to get into just what a bhajan is. A bhajan is any sort of devotional song in Indian culture.

The website The Sacred Music Guide is a great place for rama devotional songs if you want to purchase any number of these hanuman devotional songs or bhajans.

What makes any bhajan or devotional song from Morari Bapu so mesmerising is that it is clear how passionate and stirring Bapu’s belief in a higher deity is. What also makes his bhajans so mesmerising is the fact that he was born into a family that was known to follow religious traditions that are called Vaishnav Bava Sadhu.

In fact, from this religious tradition, he got to be referred to as “Bapu, ” which means elderly person or even dad.

In addition, based on a few, select quotes, one can easily tell how devoted to God Bapu really is. For example, one quote of his urges people to spend a part of each and every day being grateful first to God, then to nature, then to one’s saint or sadguru, then to the scriptures and, finally, to the self. Another of his quotes reflects on the fact that being happy while enduring life's hardships is actually Tapasaya.
