RAAG KANRA - Kirat Prabh Ki Gao Meri Rasna - Bhai Baljeet Singh & Bhai Gurmeet Singh

Shabd Hazare Patshahi 10

Bhai Balbir Singh - Bin Har Naam - Raag Devgandhar

Throughout history, Kirtan has had a certain maryada to which the kirtani would respectfully adhere to. It's beleived that a shaan would be played according to the relevent raag to set the atmosphere and engage the sangat. Following to which a mangalacharan would be recited, this was a salutation to Akaal Purakh. These were done before the shabad was sung. This recording is a prime example of the puratan reet which would have been prominant in the darbar of Guru Gobind Singh Jee, which sadly is very rare to find now. This recording being just over 30 minutes long, many people have not got the pateinces or dicipline to concentrate on Gurbani Kirtan for this long, hence the decline of this type of kirtan. Whereas dhrupad kirtanis would do kirtan for hours at end. Dhrupad kirtan is something one can't listen to in the background, but something that needs to be listened to with concentration to be appreicitated. Its not for entertainment, but purely for spiritual develop

Meditate in remembrance on the Lord - meditate on the Lord; this alone shall be of use to you.

Abandon your association with Maya, and take shelter in the Sanctuary of God.

Remember that the pleasures of the world are false; this whole show is just an illusion. ||1||Pause||
