Spiritual Practices
Godipad
In the tradition guided by Shriji Maharaj, all His devotees are lovingly encouraged to chant the GodiPad verses each evening before the Sandhya Aarti.
These verses are not just songs—they’re heartfelt expressions describing:
The glory of sant samagam (spiritual fellowship),
The divine form of Shriji Maharaj, and
His uplifting teachings for daily living.
It is lovingly said:
"Bolāya jyāre Godi, Shriji āve ḍodi."
"When the GodiPad verses are sung, Shriji Maharaj rushes to be present."
In this spirit, chanting these verses is not a ritual imposed—but a soulful invitation to experience closeness with Bhagwan.
As shared by Gurudev Bapji and HDH Swamishri , when sung with feeling, these verses purify the heart and fill it with joy and spiritual clarity.
