Shree Gurudev

Welcome to babachants.com, presenting the texts and translations of recordings made by Swami Muktananda Paramahansa. We offer this site to the lotus feet of Shree Bhagawan Nityananda and our beloved Baba.

Lokah samastha sukhino bhavanthu. May all beings in all worlds be happy.

The chants below are offered in our "Online Practice" format, which displays the transliteration and translation, a link to switch to Sanskrit text, and a harmonium accompaniment.

Each chant also has an "Additional Resources" link with related credits, resources and downloadable files, including a Practice Kit that can be used offline on your computer.

Text/translation files are displayed in PDF format. Newer versions of Acrobat Reader are recommended for optimal results.  Click here to download Acrobat Reader.
