This is an edited songbbok, and includes the 275 most


commonly sung songs in Sahaja Yoga collectives world-wide in
the experience of the editors. The full songbook would now be
at least twice as large!

Keys: The keys and chords for the songs have been reviewed
and some lowered to make singing easier. While this may be
comfortable for most people, a higher pitch is often better for
loud collective singing, so there is a suggested fret for the Capo
to achieve this – usually 2nd or 3rd fret.

Notes on Sanskrit, Hindi and Marathi pronunciation
Sanskṛit, Hindi and Marāṭhi are all written in Devanāgarī –‘the Language of
the Deities’ and are pronounced more or less the same way.
1 Vowels. The symbols ā, ī and ū are used for long vowels. Short a and
long ā are different sounds, whereas long ī and ū are the short sounds
lengthened.
 Short a is the hardest vowel because it is so short. It is like the u in but
or a in local – almost like saying the consonant without any vowel.
Ganapati is ‘g-n-p-ti’ roughly like ‘gunner-putty’. ‘a’ is never hard as in
bat.
 Long ā as in cart, or master
 Long ī as in beet. Short i as in bit.
 Long ū as in pool. (eg Mūlādhāra) Short u as in pull, not as fun - which
is short a (unless you come from Yorkshire).
 O is always long, as in modem, and never short as in modern. So
Moksha is pronounced ‘moke-sha’, Om rhymes with ‘home’.
 e is always long in Sanskrit, but can be short in Hindi and Marathi. Eka
sounds like English ‘acre’. Words ending in e are pronounced long é.
 au and ai are diphthongs; au as in ‘proud’ and ai as in ‘pride’.
 The symbols ō and ē are used where a final o or e joins with short a at
the beginning of the next word as in sthitō’si which is sthito+asi, or
namastē’stu which is namaste+astu, so the vowel is lengthened.
2 The consonants with dots under ṭ ṭh ḍ ḍh ṇ ḷ and ṣh are pronounced
with the tip of the tongue curled back against the roof of the mouth,
with a half-r sound. (as in Gaṇeśha, Iḍa Naḍi, Gondaḷi etc.)
3 There are no fricatives in Sanskrit ie th, v, f.; so th is an aspirated t as
in boaťhook eg. Aťharva. Both v and w are used in writing Sanskrit but
are the same letter. Normally w is used when joined with another
consonant, eg. twam, swāmī and v is used when on its own, eg. Shiva,
Viṣhṇu; The sound is halfway between v and w like ‘vw’ i.e.tvwam. Try
saying it as ‘w’ with the upper teeth touching the lower lip.
Ph is aspirated p as in ‘map-holder’ and not f. eg. Phala – ‘fruit’.
9
4 Final h as in namah, namaḥ or namaha is an aspiration of the final
vowel and not an extra syllable. It normally sounds like nam.ha.
5 ṛ is a vowel, usually written ṛi, as in ṛitam or Kṛishna and sometimes
ṛu, as in amṛut or gṛuha. Properly it should be written Kṛṣna, amṛt or
gṛha. Be aware that there is no full vowel sound after the ṛ.
r as a vowel or a consonant should be rolled in the Scottish manner
with the tongue curled back and and not with the English tendency to
elongate the vowel and drop the r (ie. ‘dark’ being pronounced ‘daak’)
6 The composite letter jñ is written gñy (eg. Āgñyā, gñyāna-‘knowledge’)
It is pronounced –gya with the g nasalised.
g is always pronounced as in begin and not as in vegetable, which is j.
7 In Hindi and Marathi short a at the end of words and before long
syllables is dropped so Rāma becomes Rām, Sulabhā becomes Sulbhā
etc. This is not done in Sanskrit. This vestigial a is sometimes written
as a full stop, as in sab.ko.
8 s is always unvoiced, ie. like hiss and not his.

9 In Marathi j is pronounced more like z, so ‘jog.wa’ sounds like


‘zog.wa’, and ch sounds like tz.
10 All other letters are pronounced roughly as in English.

ṛu, as in amṛut or gṛuha. Properly it should be written Kṛṣna, amṛt or
gṛha. Be aware that there is no full vowel sound after the ṛ.
r as a vowel or a consonant should be rolled in the Scottish manner
with the tongue curled back and and not with the English tendency to
elongate the vowel and drop the r (ie. ‘dark’ being pronounced ‘daak’)
6 The composite letter jñ is written gñy (eg. Āgñyā, gñyāna-‘knowledge’)
It is pronounced –gya with the g nasalised.
g is always pronounced as in begin and not as in vegetable, which is j.
7 In Hindi and Marathi short a at the end of words and before long
syllables is dropped so Rāma becomes Rām, Sulabhā becomes Sulbhā
etc. This is not done in Sanskrit. This vestigial a is sometimes written
as a full stop, as in sab.ko.
8 s is always unvoiced, ie. like hiss and not his.

9 In Marathi j is pronounced more like z, so ‘jog.wa’ sounds like


‘zog.wa’, and ch sounds like tz.
10 All other letters are pronounced roughly as in English.

Itni Shakti hame Dena IS Hindi 1

Itni shakti hame dena Mātā


Man kaa vishwas kamjor ho naa

Hum chale nek raste pe hamse,


Bhul kar bhi koi bhul ho naa
Itni shakti hame dena Mata,
Man kaa vishwas kamjor ho naa

Dur agyan ke ho andhere,


Tu hame gyan ki roshani de
Har burai se bachte rahe hum,
Jitni bhi de bhali jindagi de
Bier ho na kisi ka kisi se,
Bhavana man me badle ki ho naa

Hum na soche hame kya mila hai,


Hum ye soche kiya kya hai arpan
Phul khushiyon ke bante sabhi ko
Sabka jivan hi ban jaye madhuban
Apni karunā ka jal tub baha kar,
Kar de pawan har ik man ka kona

Itni Shakti hame Dena IS Hindi 1

Itni shakti hame dena Mātā


Man kaa vishwas kamjor ho naa

Hum chale nek raste pe hamse,


Bhul kar bhi koi bhul ho naa
Itni shakti hame dena Mata,
Man kaa vishwas kamjor ho naa

Dur agyan ke ho andhere,


Tu hame gyan ki roshani de
Har burai se bachte rahe hum,
Jitni bhi de bhali jindagi de
Bier ho na kisi ka kisi se,
Bhavana man me badle ki ho naa

Hum na soche hame kya mila hai,


Hum ye soche kiya kya hai arpan
Phul khushiyon ke bante sabhi ko
Sabka jivan hi ban jaye madhuban
Apni karunā ka jal tub baha kar,
Kar de pawan har ik man ka kona
