Hinduism is a rich and diverse religion with many lyrical traditions expressed through sacred texts, devotional songs, hymns, and mantras. Here's an overview of some key categories of Hindu lyrical content:

  "Om Bhur Bhuvah Swaha

  Bhargo Devasya Dheemahi
  Dhiyo Yo Nah Prachodayat."
  (A prayer to the divine light of the sun for wisdom and enlightenment.)

2. Bhajans

• Example: "Achyutam Keshavam Krishna Damodaram"
  A bhajan in praise of Lord Krishna.

3. Shlokas

• Example: Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2, Verse 47
  "Karmanye Vadhikaraste Ma Phaleshu Kadachana,
  Ma Karma Phala Hetur Bhur Ma Te Sangostva Akarmani."
  (You have the right to perform your duty, but not to the fruits of your actions.)

4. Kirtans

Repetitive chanting or singing of divine names, often accompanied by musical instruments.

• Example: "Hare Krishna Maha Mantra"
