        • I also don't know sanskrit.

          But I learn these ashtakas by simply pickng up some nice vocalist devotee who sings clearly and sing along watching the lyrics and learn in song flow format.

          rather than learn like word to word byheart

          above all I try to learn the meaning conveyed in the stanzas by going thru the english translation of the song  before I learn so that I can have the emotion that is actually conveyed in the song.

            Sorry, I just wanted you suggestion on this.

            -> I first heard and read bhaj Govindam in Yt videos , and they must have reduced the number of verses for song purpose, but when I saw the ACTUAL number of verses it is 34 😱

            Do you think I should skip bhaj govindam? At least for now?

            • you can learn what is there on youtube.

              But it is not must to learn any.

              Just do chanting 16 rounds more than enough for now. :-)

              but if you want to impress Lord with vocal skills  you must sing sweet melodies like damodar ashtakam  and Chaurashtakam  gopi geet , venu geet 

              Take one and sing nicely with love for Krishna and see how Krishna will respond to you.

              Can you sing something and record and post here let me see you singing skills :-)

               

               

              • Not my singing skills... Thats the last I have

                If you hear my voice, you will never be able to hear anything again

                • Krishna will like anything. even if you bray like donkey. All He needs is love it seems. :-)

              • first stanza of Bhajagovindam gaa ke suna sakte ho?

                speakpipe pe jaise Vivek ne post kia karke dikhao

                • Mataji 
                  I have got a bit of (I think they call it heavy) /bhari voice.

                  I have got a LOT of compliments in my life on my sweet voice, so much that I don't even sing ever in fron tof my family, so I think that... It would be a bit embarassing for me and not at all god for your ears...

                  • thats okay. No one is Arijit singh and shreya ghoshal here. We all have no talents. But Krishna can bear with our bhaari voices also.

                  • Now that I realise maybe I should only listen and skip learning... 

                    • Kindly refer to the new discussion. Hari Hari.
