Bhajan Clubbing sounds interesting, but I hope it's genuinely for cultural promotion and not just another political event wrapped in tradition. Let the music speak for itself.

My parents used to play bhajans at home, and now seeing it become a cool college event is amazing! It's a perfect way to de-stress during exams too. Can't wait for the Rahasya Band performance!

As an exchange student at Delhi University, I find this fascinating. It's a unique window into Indian spirituality for foreigners like me. Looking forward to experiencing the "confluence" firsthand.

Good step by the govt. Our youth are too influenced by Western pop. Initiatives like this help them reconnect with their roots. Bhagwan ki bhakti se badkar kuch nahi hai.

The schedule is packed across so many colleges! Hope they maintain the sound quality and proper arrangements. It has the potential to become a regular cultural fixture if done well. All the best to the artists!
