12 MJ’s FAVOURITE SONG
I had the good
fortune to attend a class he conducted for the nuns once and I think it was
Katha Upanishad he was teaching then. The nuns chanted the Sanskrit shlokas all
together and I got so inspired. After the class was over, suddenly Maharaj
asked me to sing a bhajans. Until then all I used to sing were mainly Bengali
and some Hindi bhajans that Revd. Swami Dayatmananadaji was teaching me so
painstakingly every year.
With no lyrics
readily available, I think I sang a Bengali bhajan (all that I could remember
in that flabbergasted state) which I am sure nobody could follow the meaning.
Then Maharaj asked
me to sing “NAATHA, TUMI SARVASYA AMAAR.” Unfortunately I did not know. He mentioned this song
again later.
