Global Hindu Heritage Foundation donated Sound systems to 15 temples in different villages in different districts. About three months ago we requested our people to donate Sound system to the needed villages. About ten donors sent donations to provide Sound systems to these villages
Sound systems were provided by the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation to encourage those who built small temples out of devotion to the Lord and conducted charitable activities based on those temples. These mic sets were sent to temples in Adoni in Kurnool district, Guduru Pedana in Krishna district, Gaara in Srikakulam district, Guntur Tenali in Guntur district, Pittalavanipalem in Bapatla district, Kalyanadurgam in Anantapur district and Don area in Nandyala district.
We are offering an amplifier box, 2 mikes, 2 trumpets in one Sound system set. There is a great need for these to conduct bhajans at the temple center, to conduct satsangs, for pooja programs and to sensitize the surrounding community. The organization is receiving requests from many other places to provide Sound systems to their temples as well. If any donors contribute, we can provide these to more temples in their name through the organization.
GHHF wants to appreciate these donors: Subba & Prabha Karavadi; Gitesh Pandya; Suresh  Kota; Gitesh Desai; Vikram Reddy; Aruna Pal; Pavan Boggavarapu; Jayesh Patel; Shasi & Hemalata Kotvali; Vamsi Chakka; Naveen  Nandamuri; and Ramesh Nekkanti. 
Importance of Bhajans
Singing Bhajans holds significant religious, cultural and spiritual importance, playing a crucial role in the spiritual practices of many groups. When people sing bhajans, they engage in a form of musical devotion, creating a connection with the divine through the expression of their feelings and reverence. In essence, bhajans serve as a heartfelt means of connecting with the spiritual realm, embodying the cultural and spiritual richness of the traditions from which they originate.
The Sanskrit word bhajan or bhajans is derived from the root bhaj, which means "divide, share, partake, participate, to belong to". The word also connotes "attachment, devotion to, fondness for, homage, faith or love, worship, piety to something as a spiritual, religious principle or means of salvation"
Similarly, Kirtan is a vibrant and communal expression of devotion. It involves a lead singer or group chanting a mantra, and the congregation responding. This rhythmic exchange creates a powerful energy, fostering a sense of unity among the participants.
Kirtans are often held in temples, spiritual gatherings, or even in public spaces, where people from diverse backgrounds join together in harmony. The repetitive chanting of mantras has a meditative quality, allowing participants to transcend the mundane and connect with the divine on a profound level.
In both Bhajan and Kirtan, traditional Indian musical instruments play a crucial role in enhancing the spiritual experience. Instruments like the harmonium, tabla, and mridangam provide a rhythmic and melodic backdrop, creating a symphony of devotion. The harmonium, with its soulful tones, often leads the melody, guiding the participants through a journey of spiritual exploration.
Historically, the Vedas and Upanishads celebrate Nada Brahma where certain sounds are considered essential, triggering emotional feelings without necessarily having a literal meaning, and this is deemed a sacred experience of the primeval ultimate reality and supreme truth. Saints and poets like Kabir, Mirabai, Tulsidas, and Surdas played a crucial part in popularizing bhajans and making them understandable to a larger audience. Their Bhajan lyrics emphasized the universality of divine love while praising the intimate connection between the believer and the deity.
