"SAMA" was an initiative of the students of Bhagawan's college to ruminate on Swami through music during the prayer sessions in the college. It started way back in the nineties. Lovely songs would be sung and beautiful sentiments would be expressed musically sending all the students to raptures of divine ecstasy.

Truly, nothing can move your heart and bless you with moments of divine communion as effortlessly as music can do. Bhagawan Himself said in December 25, 1997, "Music is holy. It reflects the state of one's inner being. It can move the Lord Himself."

Those who have lived with Bhagawan have in fact witnessed this at close quarters. One soulful rendering and Bhagawan would fill the heart of the devotee with tremendous grace. To relive those musical moments of bliss is the purpose of this series.

As you hear these devotional compositions, pregnant with deep meaning and specially created in the Radio Sai studios, we hope it will help you to melt away in devotion to the Lord and become one with Him in joy and love.

We will endeavour to offer a new song on our website before every major festival of Prasanthi Nilayam so that we can get into the "bhava" before the celebrations begin.

The first one was a soulful song in the sweet language, Malayalam on the occasion of the festival of Onam. You can listen to the song here: Karunya Sagarane. The second was an ebullient melody describing Ganesha dancing and giving us delight - Vaje Mrudanga Tal Veena

Here comes the special song for Swami's Birthday! The Birthday is the day a form is born, and when the form inhales in its first breath. We celebrate with joy the beginning as we can recognise it. The form then grows feeding on nourishment that it draws from around. But eventually, life is defined by how it has been lead. But here we are celebrating the Birthday of the Birthless One. When the Lord is born, it is an opportunity the love in our hearts to grow. That’s why His form is itself love. Inhaling the Truth of oneness, expanding through the nourishment of bliss, His presence, His form grows in our midst. As we ponder on what it is to observe Swami’s Birthday, here is a timeless melody which as sweet as it is profound. A bhajan that we could say is Swami’s ‘resume’. We are glad to present it to you in this version, rendered sweeter through the voices of Swami’s children.

Love is my form, Truth is my Breath, Bliss is my food
My Life is my message, Expansion is my life
No reason for love, No season for love
No birth, No death
