Bhakti bhi 4 prakaar ki hoti hai.
Tamasic bhakti, Rajasik Bhakti, Satvik Bhakti aur nirgun bhakti.. so, as per that you might have to make 4 questions maybe?????????
eack type of bhakti has different modes of music as per taste or guna that is dominating right now in us. :-)
Nirgun bhakti ke stage mein hum log shayad nahi hai ab.
Tamsic bhakti best song in present time:-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZ7aLws8gBM&list=RDnZ7aLws8gBM&... <<--- bhakti to satisfy one's own senses
Rajasik bhakti Best song in present times:-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VD0NDgN-RM&list=RD6VD0NDgN-RM&... << -- paisa, fame ke liye kiya jaaye
Satvik Bhakti best song in present times:-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPZ-0OGxeUE&list=RDhPZ-0OGxeUE&... <<----praising of Lord in satvik mood
Nirguna Bhakti best song in present times:-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEanOHir0Cc&list=RDWEanOHir0Cc&... <<----which we are not at this stage great devotees like Narottama dasa thakur ji composed this, This is the stage when we are using our senses to please Krishna. or singing for Krishna's pleasure.
We can listen to any song but the main central idea should be we stick to Krishna.
When we listen to a bollywood song also if you are able to picture Krishna in your mental plane that means that you are doing Bhakti in Tamasic mode but still it is okay because .. something is still better than nothing. We are afterall humans and in Kaliyuga getting exposed to various things.
If you restrict your senses ....one day they will rebel against you .. kisi bhi cheez ko supress karoge toh max. 2-3 months tak hi supress kar paaoge... Restricting senses is not the way to get to bhakti. Leaving the sense wander is also not the way to get to bhakti.
Neither Suppression nor unrestricted sense are useful.
You want to divert your senses from material world slowly to Krishna. It may take a while to change from Stage one to Stage 4.
No one is perfect but we can try to make our senses divert to Krishna atleast Saiyyara movie songs are being applied to Krishna that is first step to divert to Krishna.
If you are seeing Saiyyara movie songs and visualizing hero heroine or on mundane love that means your senses are going unchecked. They want to enjoy material world still.
Thats is okay.. Tamasik bhakti also is fine..
Krishna says in Bhagwad gita... 4 types of people come to ME- one who desire name, fame money ( distressed), One who is inquisitive, one who is wise.
well, not all of us are in stage 4.
Still we all came to Krishna.
He will surely bring us from Stage 1 to Stage 4 someday someday.
Hare Krishna
No two questions was a mistake 😭
how do you know which song is in which mode this clearly
Also thank you very much for the songs recommendation
-Obviously, Shreya Ghoshal is a devotee but she is doing it for money, name, fame.
-The person who uploaded the song in Saiyyara movie song format he or she is also a devotee but she is enjoying her senses because for him/her that saiyyara movie songs touched her heart so she is using the same tune to make it devotional song. There are tune which is trendy and catchy pleasing to ears so they are using it for Krishna that is actually a nice way. I DON'T condemn them but that is not done for the pleasure of Krishna. It is done because it was pleasing to the ears of the listeners.
_ The person who sang Jaya Radha Madhava is a spiritual person and a devotee. A devotee when sings it has a bhava added to that. Surely, she is sing for the praising Krishna or glorifying Krishna. And also they names of Radha and Krishna are directly mentioned and that is a devotional bhajan as well.

that is obviously in satvik emotions
- The vaishnava songs are above our realm because they are composed and sung with Lots of bhaav and prema they are not on the ordinary platform itself.
Hare Krishna
Make three questions why only two we have 3 gunas.
Hare Krishna mataji
I am sorry, It was some technical issue i also saw it later that there are two questions now, and I don't know how to close them.
