Bhajan Clubbing — A Trendy Social Detox, Not True Spirituality
There's a new trend in major Indian cities going by the name of "Bhajan clubbing”. When I first heard about it, I wondered what it meant. People are going to clubs, but instead of alcohol, they're having chai, chaas, and lassi. Instead of modern music, they are playing and singing bhajans. They are dressed in traditional clothes. Some are hailing this as the new spirituality.
I'm not entirely convinced. Every generation experiences these fads. I remember productions like ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ from decades ago when we were young. This seems similar—a cultural phenomenon........
