Recitation of verses and hymns are means of glorifying a deity. Since God likes praise (stutipriya ) and is compassionate (bhaktavatsal), if hymns and verses are sung with spiritual emotion (bhav), He is appeased. Since these hymns and verses in praise of God have been compiled by saints and evolved souls, they are enriched with divine consciousness (chaitanya). Besides, when a saint compiles this, His resolve (sankalpa) and blessings that devotees should benefit by reciting it accompanies it. Hence, a worshipper derives worldly and spiritual benefits from it. – Paratpar Guru Dr. Jayant Athavale
