Please consider an invitation to serve as a bhajan leader at regional events. If you love to lead bhajans and have had the experience of leading bhajans at your center or at regional events, please consider joining this group. Below are details.

Why assemble a group of bhajan leaders?
•Typically, when we organize the devotional program for a regional event, we send out multiple communications requesting devotees to participate in bhajan leading. Many times, people do not come forward and we have to select people. When we select people, there are questions afterwards as to why we selected some people and not others.
•To make the process fair and simple, the proposal is to assemble a group of 'Regional Bhajan Leaders"'.

Who can be part of this group?
•We welcome any devotee who is a regular and experienced bhajan leader in their center or who has lead in regional events.
•We would like it if devotees volunteer themselves; we will check with the center devotion coordinator as needed.

What is the devotee's responsibility?
•Request devotees to sign up (see below) to lead solo, as a duet or in unison.
•Be available to attend at least one practice session before the event and be available to lead bhajan at the regional event.

When will the 'Regional Bhajan Leaders' be invited to lead?
•We will request 'Regional Bhajan Leaders' to lead at 'i to I Transformation' speaker series events and Global Akhanda Bhajans.
•We may also tap into the 'Regional Bhajan Leaders' pool for other regional events such as the Regional Retreat, Women's Mini-Retreat, Sai Reflection Day and Swami's Birthday.

How may this process work?
•'Regional Bhajan Leaders' group members would be notified of specific details on practice session etc. via email. So, please provide an email ID that you check periodically.
•If a volunteer can serve, they proceed with the process outlined. It is understandable not all devotees will attend every regional event. In such a case, they reply that they cannot participate. There is no obligation.
