iKirtan

I got a reply from the sewadaar who put up the kirtan, and he said on the gurmatsangeetproject website it is written: "You are encouraged to download these MP3 files, save them on your computer, burn CDs and widely distribute them to lovers of Gurmat Sangeet. These shabads are the Guru's gift to everyone and should be freely shared. " Since many visitors to ikirtan.com are not visitors to that website, we are freely distributing the kirtan on ikirtan.com, just as we freely distribute a lot of other kirtan. I hope that makes rsc happy?

Just looked at this thread again... I will have to find out from the sewadaar who put up the kirtan whether he had permission or not. I just emailed him. If not and the Gurmat Sangeet Project wants us to take it down, we can do that. I did find the Sarbjit Singh Rangila files on Ektaone, the site which was launched on the same day those files were put up. The sewadaar probably thought to fill a void, because Sikhifm was no longer up. Maybe this will help keep the broadband needs down for them so they can stay up this time :doh: In regards to Bhai Niranjan Singh files being from Sikhifm. Ektaone has 11 files of him, compared to 127 on ikirtan.com, just looking over it briefly, none of the files seem to be the same. Anyways, listen to AKJ Vancouver 2005, the new videos we just put up (Satinderpal Singh is very good), Harcharan Singh Jee Khalsa and all the other kirtan we have up. More will be coming soon!

iKirtan.com is proud to have a lot of new kirtan uploaded in the last few weeks. Most of the AKJ Vancouver May 2005 Samagam has been uploaded, the rest should be coming soon. We have also put up new videos from Kirtani such as Bhai Tejinderpal Singh Jee (Dulla), Bhai Manpreet Singh Jee, and Bhai Satinderpal Singh Jee. Many new files from the following Kirtanis have also been uploaded: Bhai Dilbagh Singh, Gulbagh Singh Jees Bhai Gurmeet Singh Jee Shaant Bhai Harcharan Singh Khalsa Jee Bhai Harjinder Singh Jee Srinagar Wale Bhai Niranjan Singh Jee Jawaddi Kalan Bhai Nirmal Singh Jee Bhai Sarabjit Singh Jee Rangila Hopefully more kirtan will be coming soon! :doh:

Its too bad the site had to go down. I'm sure the sewadaars at the Waheguroo Network would be willing to put the kirtan from that site on either Keertan.net or iKirtan.com. The photos could probably go on Waheguroo Photos or SikhSangat's Photo site. The site might be down, but hopefully the content will still be available to the Sangat.

f you havent visited iKirtan.com lately. There's alot of new kirtan up.
