It wasn't available at the time OP posted but now you can listen online to the live kirtan from Sri Hazur Sahib.

In Sikhi Music is not just OK but plays a very important part. Whole of Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is based on raags. I think there wouldn't have been a day when Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji wouldn't have listened to music.

To add my two cents, you can hear live kirtan from dixie gurdwara and some other gurdwaras around the world here

Another link for Live Kirtan and this one is for live kirtan from various gurdwaras around the world.

I have made this interactive map of sikh population around the world . Figures used are from wikipedia which doesn't seem to be perfect or current but at least the source of data is mentioned on the wiki page.

As we are discussing all this, FIRSt LIVE Program of Sangat TV from Southall Gurudwara airing now.

Is it available on sky, on what channel is it.

OUT OF ALL THAT IGNORANCE AND HATRED....THERE WAS ONE COMMENT WHICH STOOD OUT LIKE A LOTUS FLOWER IN MUDDY WATER...

cskay replying to moe47 ? 0 0 <BR class=clear>moe47, please do some googling first on who the sikhs are. Here are some clues :these turbins were the biggest foreign force to fight with allied forces in Word Wars.British gave these turbins 50% reservation in British Indian army even though there population proportion was 1%.

These turbins are the reason that whole of south-east asia was not converted to Islam because these turbins fought with the muslim invaders on same afghanistan border where even american unmanned drones are frightened today. These turbins are also the hardest working farmers. They were the first asian migrants that came to US and grew food and worked hard alongside your ancestors. These turbins follow a religion whose founding fathers may be the only example in history who sacrificed there lives for liberty and freedom of another religion. Posted 1 hour ago

BTW that was me .

On serious note, it is important for us to be careful on how we respond to such hatred on online forums. We shouldn't lower ourselves to there level and do name-calling etc. It is important to remember that for every unreasonable person commenting there, there are 100 perfectly reasonable people reading it. We just need to reply and make our point for the sake of those people. Let them make there own mind. If the troll continues to name-call, don't respond. Our guru's have prepared and taught us to be above all this. We need to remember the story of saint and the crab. If they don't change their nature, we shouldn't change ours.

Sorry if this may seem lecturing.
