“Om Bhagavan” is one of the most popular kirtans at Yoga Vidya.
“Om Bhagavan” is a kirtan with simple lyrics and a simple melody,
it is a rhythmic kirtan that you start very slowly and can speed
up more and more. “Om Bhagavan” is a kirtan for worshipping the
guru, the spiritual teacher, a kirtan that you can repeat
especially to invoke Swami Sivananda's blessings, Swami
Sivananda's presence. It is also a kirtan to thank Swami
Sivananda.


Bhagavad means “worthy of worship”, Bhagavad means “the one to be
worshipped”. And so Swami Sivananda is Bhagavan, someone to be
worshipped.


“Oh Swami Sivananda, you are worthy of worship.” Swami Sivananda
is Ananda, Ananda means “full of joy”. Swami Sivananda is present
everywhere and so people say, “Oh Swami Sivananda, I worship you.
Oh Swami Sivananda, you give me bliss. Oh Swami Sivananda, you
manifest yourself in me as bliss. Oh Swami Sivananda, help me to
give bliss to others too.”
