Songs of love and devotion from all faiths and beliefs.

Bajaans; are devotional songs dedicated usually to a deity in Hinduism. They are based on the belief that sounds and words have the ability to transform energy. Bajaans are sung usually in a group setting or satsang. It is a tapas (training) or pursuit on the path to oneness (Samadhi)

The singer; devotee seeks to open the heart to the feeling initiated by the devotional chant to a diety or saint .

For who and why ?  This is an open event and the aim is to meet share some food and sing together. We sing with thanks, for the gift of life and the ability to love and feel joy.

Healing the Earth & heart                                                                                                            Chanting and prayer also have the ability to heal the soul, heal the emotional /physical body.

Non sectarian non denominational non religious. Singing as is love is a natural human attribute.

Community Singing is transformational for the group and the soul.

Jai Jai Shiva Shambo Mahadeva Shambo

It's in Sanskrit - and it refers specifically to Siva
The word is spelled Sambhu (with an accent mark on the letter 's'), means "abode of joy."(
Danielou 1991, p. 202) In other words, it is Siva himself who is the essence and source of joy. 

"Because he creates (kr) joy (sukha-sam), because he is the source of boundless joy, Siva, the supreme formless being, is given the name the 'giver of joy' (Sankara)."(Danielou 1991, p. 202) 

Thus, when all believers want to escape the boundless cycle of births, rebirths and the attendant passions, anger, joy and pain, disease, old age and death, they rejoin Siva. "When beings are tired of action, of life, of pain...and seek the rest of dreamless sleep, they enter into Siva, the changeless state, the abode of joy (Sambhu), in whom the universe comes to rest and sleeps." Danielou 1991, p. 197) 

I must apologise for the inability to create accent markers for 
Romanised Sanskrit words, but I have given you the meaning, and importance of this word. 

If you look up http://www.youtube.com  , you will find quite a number of very good renditions of the Bharatanatyam dance item 'BoShambo'.
