Bhai Dharam Singh Zakhmi - Aval Allah Noor Upaya - Puratan Kirtan 1960.

On July 09, 1999, Bhai Avtar Singh Ragi, my younger granduncle, was requested to sing at the funeral (Bhog) ceremony of the legendary Sikh scholar, Giani Jagir Singh. This is the first composition sung by Bhai Avtar Singh in which I played the Pakhāwaj of my student Rabbi Shergill to honour his late Sikh-scholar dad. Bhai Sahib Swaran Singh, a nephew of Bhai Avtar Singh, and with whole he played Jori & Tabla since early 1950s is on the Jori-Tabla. For a few years, after I had revived the instrument Jori in Gurbani Sangeet in its original playing technique and making, Bhai Swaran Singh and I would play with Bhai Sahib Bhai Avtar Singh on major occasions. 
A lay listener can easily distinguish, my playing on Pakhāwaj from 4:44 minutes marker onwards, from a very busy and distinct rendition along with the composition.
Bhai Avtar Singh's Mangalācharan-Alāpa and extraordinary rendition of this original composition of Guru Nanak Dev is worthy of note —a great example of the once rich Gurbani Sangeet tradition of the Darbār Sahib, Amritsar.

Rāga Gauri Bairagan Dhurpad By Bhai Avtar Singh With Bhai Baldeep Singh On Pakhāwaj

May 5, 1991, Dr. Sudarshan Singh was at the residence of his dear late daughter Professor Amardeep Kaur (d. 2016) and was reminiscing about the legendary Bhai Sahib Bhai Jwala Singh. He recalled one composition that he had studied directly from him saying that he used to sing this Gurbāni Dhurpadā on a very slow tempo Teel Tāla (Punjabi Thekkā). At my request, he recorded this very rare Rāga Dhanāsri (Rāga Gujri Añg) for me. I tried playing the Tabla with him in this recording.
Sardar Shukar Singh, father of Dr. Sudarshan Singh, was a close associate of Bhai Jwala Singh. Dr Sudarshan Singh was also a student of Sant-Rein Warayam Singh, who in turn was a student of Giani Gyan Singh Almast. Even at this elderly age, one can see his classical training by way of very high quality vocal ornaments such as Meend and Lehak.

From The Anād Foundation Archives, TAFaRC, I am sharing this old recording of one of India's finest vocalists of the 20th century, Sardar Sohan Singh. He was a doyen of the illustrious Agra Gharana having studied from the legendary Ustad Faiyaz Khan. 

TAFaRC shares this first of three compositions in the 20th century version of Rāga Tukhari, which is basically Rāga Madhuvanti with an additional Flat 6th, or Komal Nikhad. The Gurbani Pada is "Mere Lāl Rangile".

Sadly, there has been no mention of this legendary singer on social medias nor his recordings available. Even though not much has survived of his music, I hope this will help introduce the aesthetical brilliance of this extraordinary maestro to the audiences present and future.

From The Anād Foundation Archives, TAFaRC, I am sharing this old recording of one of India's finest vocalists of the 20th century, Sardar Sohan Singh, a Padma Shri awardee. He was a doyen of the illustrious Agra Gharana having studied from the legendary Ustad Faiyaz Khan. 

TAFaRC humbly shares this third composition, Gurbani Pada is "Bhavjal Bin Sabdai Keo Tariye", sung by Sardar Sohan Singh in Rāga Bhairao. 

Sadly, there has been no mention of this legendary singer on social medias nor his recordings available. Even though not much has survived of his music, I hope this will help introduce the aesthetical brilliance of this extraordinary maestro to the audiences present and future.

Kabir Laagi Preet Sujaan Sio - Bhai Dharam Singh Zakhmi

In this Dark Age of Kali Yuga, the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises are most sublime and exalted.
Become Gurmukh, chant and focus your meditation.
You shall save yourself, and save all your generations as well. You shall go to the Court of the Lord with honor. ||6||

LIVE Kirtan at Home - Anikbar Singh on Tabla

Mai Bin Gur Dekhe Neend Na Avai

Jaijaavantee, Ninth Mehl:
Slipping away - your life is uselessly slipping away.
Night and day, you listen to the Puraanas, but you do not understand them, you ignorant fool!
Death has arrived; now where will you run? ||1||Pause||
You believed that this body was permanent, but it shall turn to dust.
Why don't you chant the Name of the Lord, you shameless fool? ||1||
Let devotional worship of the Lord enter into your heart, and abandon the intellectualism of your mind.
O Servant Nanak, this is the way to live in the world. - Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji

Bhai Shamsher Singh Zakhmi - inhi-ki-kirpa-keh-sajeh-hum-hein-with-explanations

Born at village Mulla Hamza in Montgomery District (now in Pakistan) in 1900 A.D., Bhai Samund Singh was given training in music by his father Bhai Hazur Singh Ji from his early child-hood. As a little boy he won a number of prizes and distinctions at musical concerts. He came to be known as 'Kaka Samund Singh' and was much in demand at Sikh congregations. His party came to be known as the best in the understanding of their art and almost perfect in presentation of Gurbani Kirtan. With his unique melo-dious voice, an extensive and deep understanding of Gur-bani, correct interpretation of ragas, attractive style of sing-ing and great human qualities, he reigned supreme for sixty years in the world of Gurbani Kirtan. He performed kirtan at the Gurdwara Janam Sthan, Sri Nankana Sahib, the birth place of Guru Nanak Dev, for many years. He broadcast kirtan for 36 years from All India Radio, Lahore and later from Jalandhar and commanded wide listening. Passers-by stopped in the streets to listen to his kirtan irrespective of their faith. He was invited to perform kirtan in the National Programme of Music by All India Radio, the highest recognition of his art. He was given State award by the Punjab Government in 1971. He passed away at Ludhiana (5th January, 1972).

ਜਤਨ ਬਹੁਤੁ ਮੈ ਕਰਿ ਰਹਿਓ ਮਿਟਿਓ ਨ ਮਨ ਕੋ ਮਾਨੁ ॥
ਮੈਂ ਅਨੇਕਾਂ (ਹੋਰ ਹੋਰ) ਜਤਨ ਕਰ ਚੁੱਕਾ ਹਾਂ (ਉਹਨਾਂ ਜਤਨਾਂ ਨਾਲ) ਮਨ ਦਾ ਅਹੰਕਾਰ ਦੂਰ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੁੰਦਾ, (ਇਹ ਮਨ) ਖੋਟੀ ਮਤਿ ਨਾਲ ਚੰਬੜਿਆ ਹੀ ਰਹਿੰਦਾ ਹੈ ।
I have tried so many things, but the pride of my mind has not been dispelled.

ਦੁਰਮਤਿ ਸਿਉ ਨਾਨਕ ਫਧਿਓ ਰਾਖਿ ਲੇਹੁ ਭਗਵਾਨ ॥੩੪॥
ਹੇ ਨਾਨਕ! (ਆਖ—)ਹੇ ਭਗਵਾਨ! (ਤੂੰ ਆਪ ਹੀ) ਰੱਖਿਆ ਕਰ ।੩੪।
I am engrossed in evil-mindedness, Nanak. O God, please save me! ||34||

ਬਾਲ ਜੁਆਨੀ ਅਰੁ ਬਿਰਧਿ ਫੁਨਿ ਤੀਨਿ ਅਵਸਥਾ ਜਾਨਿ ॥
ਬਾਲ-ਅਵਸਥਾ, ਜੁਆਨੀ ਦੀ ਅਵਸਥਾ, ਅਤੇ ਫਿਰ ਬੁਢੇਪੇ ਦੀ ਅਵਸਥਾ—(ਉਮਰ ਦੀਆਂ ਇਹ) ਤਿੰਨ ਅਵਸਥਾ ਸਮਝ ਲੈ (ਜੋ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਤੇ ਆਉਂਦੀਆਂ ਹਨ) ।
Childhood, youth and old age - know these as the three stages of life.

ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਹਰਿ ਭਜਨ ਬਿਨੁ ਬਿਰਥਾ ਸਭ ਹੀ ਮਾਨੁ ॥੩੫॥
ਹੇ ਨਾਨਕ! ਆਖ—(ਹੇ ਭਾਈ!) (ਪਰ ਇਹ) ਚੇਤੇ ਰੱਖ (ਕਿ) ਪਰਮਾਤਮਾ ਦੇ ਭਜਨ ਤੋਂ ਬਿਨਾ ਇਹ ਸਾਰੀਆਂ ਹੀ ਵਿਅਰਥ ਜਾਂਦੀਆਂ ਹਨ ।੩੫।
Says Nanak, without meditating on the Lord, everything is useless; you must appreciate this. ||35||

ਕਰਣੋ ਹੁਤੋ ਸੁ ਨਾ ਕੀਓ ਪਰਿਓ ਲੋਭ ਕੈ ਫੰਧ ॥
(ਆਖ—ਮਾਇਆ ਦੇ ਮੋਹ ਵਿਚ) ਅੰਨ੍ਹੇ ਹੋ ਰਹੇ ਹੇ ਮਨੁੱਖ! ਜੋ ਕੁਝ ਤੂੰ ਕਰਨਾ ਸੀ, ਉਹ ਤੂੰ ਨਾਹ ਕੀਤਾ (ਸਾਰੀ ਉਮਰ) ਤੂੰ ਲੋਭ ਦੀ ਫਾਹੀ ਵਿਚ (ਹੀ) ਫਸਿਆ ਰਿਹਾ ।
You have not done what you should have done; you are entangled in the web of greed.

ਨਾਨਕ ਸਮਿਓ ਰਮਿ ਗਇਓ ਅਬ ਕਿਉ ਰੋਵਤ ਅੰਧ ॥੩੬॥
ਹੇ ਨਾਨਕ! (ਜ਼ਿੰਦਗੀ ਦਾ ਸਾਰਾ) ਸਮਾ (ਇਸੇ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਹੀ) ਗੁਜ਼ਰ ਗਿਆ । ਹੁਣ ਕਿਉਂ ਰੋਂਦਾ ਹੈਂ? (ਹੁਣ ਪਛੁਤਾਣ ਦਾ ਕੀ ਲਾਭ?) ।੩੬।
Nanak, your time is past and gone; why are you crying now, you blind fool? ||36||

ਮਨੁ ਮਾਇਆ ਮੈ ਰਮਿ ਰਹਿਓ ਨਿਕਸਤ ਨਾਹਿਨ ਮੀਤ ॥
ਹੇ ਮਿੱਤਰ! ਜਿਵੇਂ (ਕੰਧ ਉਤੇ ਕਿਸੇ) ਮੂਰਤੀ ਦਾ ਲੀਕਿਆ ਹੋਇਆ ਰੂਪ ਕੰਧ ਨੂੰ ਨਹੀਂ ਛੱਡਦਾ ਕੰਧ ਨਾਲ ਚੰਬੜਿਆ ਰਹਿੰਦਾ ਹੈ, ਤਿਵੇਂ ਜਿਹੜਾ ਮਨ ਮਾਇਆ (ਦੇ ਮੋਹ) ਵਿਚ ਫਸ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ।
The mind is absorbed in Maya - it cannot escape it, my friend.

ਨਾਨਕ ਮੂਰਤਿ ਚਿਤ੍ਰ ਜਿਉ ਛਾਡਿਤ ਨਾਹਿਨ ਭੀਤਿ ॥੩੭॥
ਹੇ ਨਾਨਕ! (ਆਖ—)  ਉਹ ਇਸ ਮੋਹ ਵਿਚੋਂ ਆਪਣੇ ਆਪ ਨਹੀਂ ਨਿਕਲ ਸਕਦਾ ।੩੭।
Nanak, it is like a picture painted on the wall - it cannot leave it. ||37||

ਨਰ ਚਾਹਤ ਕਛੁ ਅਉਰ ਅਉਰੈ ਕੀ ਅਉਰੈ ਭਈ ॥
ਹੇ ਭਾਈ! (ਮਾਇਆ ਦੇ ਮੋਹ ਵਿਚ ਫਸ ਕੇ) ਮਨੁੱਖ (ਪ੍ਰਭੂ-ਸਿਮਰਨ ਦੇ ਥਾਂ) ਕੁਝ ਹੋਰ ਹੀ (ਭਾਵ, ਮਾਇਆ ਹੀ ਮਾਇਆ) ਮੰਗਦਾ ਰਹਿੰਦਾ ਹੈ । (ਪਰ ਕਰਤਾਰ ਦੀ ਰਜ਼ਾ ਵਿਚ) ਹੋਰ ਦੀ ਹੋਰ ਹੋ ਜਾਂਦੀ ਹੈ । 
The man wishes for something, but something different happens.

ਚਿਤਵਤ ਰਹਿਓ ਠਗਉਰ ਨਾਨਕ ਫਾਸੀ ਗਲਿ ਪਰੀ ॥੩੮॥
ਹੇ ਨਾਨਕ! (ਆਖ—) (ਮਨੁੱਖ ਹੋਰਨਾਂ ਨੂੰ) ਠੱਗਣ ਦੀਆਂ ਸੋਚਾਂ ਸੋਚਦਾ ਹੈ (ਉਤੋਂ ਮੌਤ ਦੀ) ਫਾਹੀ ਗਲ ਵਿਚ ਆ ਪੈਂਦੀ ਹੈ ।੩੮।
He plots to deceive others, O Nanak, but he places the noose around his own neck instead. ||38||

Jatan Bahut Mai Kar Rahio (Raag Rageshree) - Bibi Guneet Kaur (Toronto)

I sang this at KTS Tulsi's and Suman Tulsi's residence on Sunday, February 7, 2021, and their daughter Japna recorded this on her phone from at least 10 feet away. There were no microphones. There is some hustling noise at 2-3 places so some discretion is solicited.

Besides, this was sung wearing an N95 mask — so, this is a #Covid19 Special!

ਨਿਰਬਾਣ ਕੀਰਤਨੁ ਗਾਵਹੁ ਕਰਤੇ ਕਾ ਨਿਮਖ ਸਿਮਰਤ ਜਿਤੁ ਛੂਟੈ ॥੧॥
In the state of Nirvaanaa, sing the Kirtan of the Creator's Praises; contemplating Him in meditation, even for an instant, one is saved. ||1||
