  • Bhajan Jamming, popularized by Gen-Z, transforms devotional music into a fun, rhythmic gathering with chai, offering an alternative to traditional clubbing.
  • Singer Abhijeet Ghoshal emphasizes Bhajan Jamming's long-term impact, citing Ramakrishna Paramahamsa's philosophy on diverse paths to a single destination.
  • House Concerts and Living-Room Gigs provide a slower, deeper, and more mindful musical journey, fostering community and raw artistic connection away from large venues.
