However, I would like to add my favourite bhajans from all of these by different singers and more. Hope you like it and these find a place in your playlist too. Here are the YouTube links to some of my favourite bhajans:
Shri Krishna Govind Hare Murari is an all-time favourite bhajan. However, you may like the same bhajan by different singers like me as they both evoke different devotional feelings and are melodious in their ways.
Shri Krishna Govind Hare Murari by Simpal Kharel is too soothing for the ears. Type the same and listen to it on YouTube (as the video cannot be embedded here). You can also download it from streaming platforms, etc.
Shri Krishna Govind Hare Murari by Maanya Arora: The lyrics are different. This bhajan has a calming effect to it.
Listen and decide.
