Pt. Shri Pranesh Achar (Ananda Rangan)
General
The most important thing is understanding the meaning of what we listen to.
If listening to bhajans helps us clearly understand the meaning and develop devotion, then listening to bhajans is good. If we do not clearly understand the meaning of Dasara Padagalu in bhajans, but we understand more through Upanyasas or Pravachanas, then listening to Upanyasas is better.
Both bhajans and Upanyasas are about God, so listening to either is meritorious. However, Upanyasas usually give more detailed knowledge and principles, whereas bhajans mainly inspire devotion.
