This is someones personal story about thier life and bhai sahib below -

Where do I begin about this Gursikh pyara, I have known him since the age of 10 when my Dad first introduced me to him to learn the Vaja and tabla. And to tell you the truth I was not the paying attention type. I cannot even describe how he made me pay attention at that age , there was something special about it. This is what you here from all kirtanis and kids who have learnt from him.As he got my attention at a young age, I remember going to rehansbahi kirtans and seeing him perform kirtan with Giani Hamdard Jee, me and my cousin used to record it and still have those recordings from the late seventies, early eighties. Bhai Sahib was a real gem in his field , he knew when a raagi was going out of the musical raag vidyaa complex as per Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee.As per tragic events which happened 1978, 1984 in Punjab, Bhai Sahib Jee extended his speciallity to Dhadi vaaran using the vaaja and other instruments in real unique way. He also wrote and sang many dharmak geets around that time in a special way one such geet never leaves my mind " Maaii nee Maaaii saanooo amritsar lagdaa pyaara" . Bhai Sahib Jee was an artist and never forgot to do parchar through singing Gurbani shabads. When on stage he would mention his students old and young, one student I remember him mentioning was 55 years old and wanted to learn kirtan. Bhai Sahib mentioned about this student that how he was suffering from depression and anxiety at home from family problems etc. and how this student came over it simply by just getting out the vaaja everytime he was depressed and singing shabads. This is the power of parse kala of Gurbani, some may question and call it blind faith but it does work wonders for people.Bhai Sahib menitoned that Gurbani works on everyone and everything around us but we don't realize it.

Bhai Sahib is a great loss to the panth and to all the Sikh kids learning Vaja, raag , tabla on a weekly basis . When I heard the news yesterday and went home from work my daughters were in tears saying they were learnig part of a shabad and was going to learn the antraa of the complete Shabad this week, who is going to teach us now??
