There
has never been a business
like
this before.
Bhajan-no
Vepar
(The
Business of Bhajans)
For
my brothers, sisters and friends who do not understand
Hindi
or Gujarati, I would like to explain this.
A
"bhajan" is a hymn, a song we sing to pray or to praise
God. "Vepar" means trade. So literally, "Bhajan-no
Vepar" means doing the business of bhajans, for money.
Spiritually
it means to involve oneself
and
others in singing bhajans.
_______________________________
I
got this name from a bhajan my mother used to sing when I was a
small child. The bhajan is like this: There is a preface: "Vepar
karo tou aevo ke aeno nafo ahiya na rahi jai, parlokma pan kaam
aave." Then the bhajan: "Bhajan-no Vepar, Dhani tara
naam-no aadhar, Kaar maan bhajan-no vepar ji."
English
translation: Preface: "If you want to do business, do the
business in which the profit is not left behind, it comes with you
when you go." The bhajan: "O mind, get in the business of
bhajans, Involve yourself, involve everyone in bhajans, God's name is
the support for everything (in this life and beyond)."
________________________________
We
are combining spiritual effort and material effort in a practical
way. It provides spiritual and material benefit to the individual and
with the combined efforts of everyone, it provides benefit to the
society. Our plan is working very well and it keeps getting better.
We
are producing bhajan CDs and DVDs
from
live bhajan programs and cultural programs,
also
from mantra jaap, bhajans and Hanuman Chalisa
people
sing and record at home,
also
from mantra jaap, bhajans and Hanuman Chalisa
children
sing in schools in India.
This
provides income to
singers
and musicians.
It
provides income to students and teachers
and
donations to their schools.
It
provides income to
audio
and video professionals
and
to many other people.
AND
It
raises funds for charity work.
No
one has ever done this before.
Now
everyone is doing it.
We
buy well recorded bhajans, dhoon, mantra and Hanuman Chalisa, in
audio and video, in any language, from bhajan mandals, cultural
organizations and schools that record their programs live. We also
buy from individuals and groups who practice and record in their own
homes. We also buy from talented new singers and musicians. We also
buy from professional singers and producers.
We
produce and distribute our bhajan CDs and DVDs under
the brand name "Bhajan-no Vepar".
Procedure
for purchase is explained
in
"Hanuman Chalisa" page.
We
are doing this to raise funds for charity work of Mata Annapurna
Ashram. If we were to give for charity work the money we are spending
to produce bhajan CDs and DVDs, it would be only so much money. This
way it brings in many times more and it involves people in charity work.
Worldwide
Distribution
We
are doing it both ways.
We
are giving them free
and also selling them.
This
may seem not workable but it works.
It
works very good and it keeps getting better.
FREE
DISTRIBUTION
Anyone
can get any "Bhajan-no Vepar"
audio CD or DVD from a distributor or a friend, make copies and share
with everyone. We gladly permit everyone to make copies and share
with everyone. We are doing this whole heartedly, without any strings.

"Worldwide Distribution - Free of Cost".

If
you want to sell copies
retail
stores, home-based sellers, students
We
will permit everyone who wants to earn a personal income to make
copies and sell them. This is the Aatmajyot way. We are combining
spiritual effort and material effort in a practical way. The effort
provides benefit to every person individually and with the combined
efforts of everyone, it provides benefit to the society. For more

I,
Ramesh Haridas Sampat, am the producer, distributor, owner and
copyright holder of all MP3s, audio CDs and DVDs produced under the
brand name "Bhajan-no Vepar".
I
have launched this program in January 2007. It is a global program
designed to involve a large number of people and help millions of
poor children in India. If you are a bhajan singer, musician, a
bhajan mandal, Mandir, cultural organization, non-profit org, a
school or an individual or family who cares about the children who
are hungry and helpless and growing up without any education, this
program is for you. You can play as big a part as you choose, or as
small. I have explained the whole program in my audio CD
"Bhajan-no Vepar" recorded on 15 August, 2007. We have made
some changes since this CD was recorded. We will continue to make
changes as needed from time to time. You can download the CD and its
text, free of cost, from these links:
