Great idea. Here’s a simple, Jain-centered way to begin with bhajans when speaking to an audience as a comparer.

1) Set the intention

• Clarify the purpose of the bhajans: to purify the mind, recall the virtues of Tirthankaras, and inspire right conduct (samyak chintan).
• Emphasize Jain dharma values like non-violence (ahimsa), truth (satya), and self-discipline (tapa).

2) Know your audience

• If the audience includes beginners, start with easy, short bhajans and gently explain the meaning after or before the chorus.
• For familiar audiences, you can introduce a slightly longer sequence and touch on deeper themes.

3) Select bhajans thoughtfully

• Choose bhajans that reflect key Jain ideals: devotion to Tirthankaras, gratitude to spiritual teachers (guru), and emphasis on inner peace.
• Include a mix: a simple opening stuti, a dhyana/meditation line, and a concluding arati or prarthana.

4) Structure the session

• Opening: a brief welcome and one or two lines of transliterated or vernacular chant to set the mood.
• Main bhajans: 2–4 short bhajans (each 1–2 minutes), with a quick meaning note between them if helpful.
• Reflection: 1–2 minutes of quiet reflection or a short reminder of Jain virtues.
• Closing: a concluding arati or prayer, followed by a simple blessing for all beings.

5) Clear pronunciation and rhythm

• Speak slowly; allow the audience to join in on repetitive phrases.
• Use a steady tempo; avoid rushing the chorus.
• If possible, provide a transliteration or a printed handout for readers.

6) Meaning and context (arth)

• Briefly explain the essence of each bhajan in simple terms.
• Note if there are differences between Digambar and Shwetambar versions, and present the version you are using as the reference.

7) Inclusive language

• Use inclusive, respectful language for all spiritual traditions within Jainism.
• Invite participation from all attendees, but honor anyone who prefers to listen quietly.

8) Time management

• Keep the total session within 20–40 minutes, depending on the event.
• Reserve time for quick questions at the end if appropriate.

9) Example opening lines (simple and respectful)

• “Jai Jinendra. We begin with a few bhajans that help us remember the path of ahimsa, satya, and self-control, as taught by the Tirthankaras.”
• “Let us join our voices to sanctify this moment and cultivate inner peace.”

10) Example mini sequence (sample, adaptable)

• Opening stuti: a 30–45 second bhajan praising Tirthankara’s virtues.
• Main bhajan: a 1-minute chorus with a short meaning interlude.
• Second bhajan: a 45-second chant focusing on forgiveness and non-violence.
• Closing arati/prarthana: a 30–60 second prayer for the well-being of all beings.

If you’d like, I can help you assemble a short, ready-to-perform bhajan sequence with brief meanings and Digambar/Shwetambar notes. I can also provide the original text for specific bhajans you choose.
