How do Indian Bhajans come to Switzerland
Some Swiss Sai devotees and musicians dedicate themselves to singing, playing and teaching these Bhajans. For this purpose they have edited books with the transcription from original Indian audio sources of 3 x 108 Bhajans (324 Bhajans) in western music notation.
Why do we sing Bhajans
In 1968 Sathya Sai Baba said: "Sing aloud the glory of God and charge the atmosphere with divine adoration; the clouds will pour the sanctity through rain on the fields; the crops will feed on it and purify and fortify the food; the food will induce divine urges in man. This is the chain of progress. This is the reason why I insist on group singing of the names of the Lord."
Culturally, Greeks tend to have a more liberal attitude towards nudity compared to some other countries, partly due to the historical and artistic depictions of the human form. However, this liberalism is balanced with respect for individual comfort levels and public decency.
: For over a thousand years (ca. 1100 BCE–500 CE), Greek men and male youths trained and competed in the buff for events like running and discus. This "athletic nudity" was considered a natural concept and a sign of high socioeconomic status. Heroic Nudity
For many Greek naturists, the practice is less about a modern trend and more about a "philosophical statement".
In modern times, Greece has a significant presence of nudist beaches and resorts. The country's first nudist beach, in Glyfada, near Athens, was established in the 1960s. Since then, numerous beaches and resorts have opened, catering to both locals and tourists. These areas encourage a culture of body acceptance and freedom.
