On November 1st, 2022, Sanatana Sankirtan released a soulful bhajan titled “Meri Lagi Shyam Sang Preet Ye Duniya Kya Jaane,” and with it, they offered a heartfelt invitation to journey inward – toward the soul’s deepest longing: divine love for Lord Krishna. Known for their deeply devotional and immersive musical expressions, Sanatana Sankirtan is not just a band, but a movement rooted in the timeless traditions of bhakti sangeet, blending classical devotion with sincere storytelling through music and visuals.

Filmed along the serene ghats and sacred landmarks of Vrindavan, the music video complements the message of the song with serenity and grace. Sung by Shyam Bihari Das (Shivam Chaurasia) and Jay Shree Devi Dasi (Yashi Parihar), and composed by Shyam Bihari Das himself, the bhajan features a beautifully arranged soundscape that enhances its lyrical devotion.

The lyrics reflect the inner transformation of a devotee who has fallen deeply in love with Shyam (Krishna), cutting ties with worldly norms and judgments. The world may call this madness, but to the devotee, it is liberation – the soul finding its eternal companion. It speaks of the captivating beauty of Mohan, the divine flute that lures hearts, and the unshakable joy found in Krishna’s love – something the material world can never comprehend. It’s an anthem of divine attachment that defies logic and social expectations.

From the tender notes of the harmonium to the emotive visuals captured by Yashi and Shivam, every aspect of this creation is steeped in bhav-emotion, surrender, and spiritual ecstasy. More than a song, it is an offering a moment of connection with the divine for anyone who listens with an open heart.

Sanatana Sankirtan continues to spread Krishna consciousness through their music, and Meri Lagi Shyam Sang Preet stands as a shining example of how devotion, when poured into art, becomes a doorway to transcendence.
