🪔 Reflection:

This beautiful bhajan by Sant Dnyaneshwar Maharaj is like a gentle invitation to choose love over the world’s distractions. The saint lovingly calls out—especially to women devotees—to turn their hearts toward the divine forms of God: Rama, Krishna, Gopala, and above all, Vitthala. It’s a simple yet powerful message: when we choose God, we are choosing peace, joy, and beauty that never fade.

Sant Dnyaneshwar, a great saint and spiritual teacher from the 13th century, brought the highest truths in a language everyone could understand. In this song, the word "बरवा" (choose) reminds us that devotion is a choice—a joyful, willing step toward the divine. When sung in a group, this bhajan feels like a celebration of unity and surrender. Through the soulful voice of Ajit Kadkade, the message becomes even more touching: no matter who we are, we can always choose to fill our hearts with God’s name and grace.
