Waheguru ji ka khalsa

Waheguru ji ki Fateh !

I have just been listening to an album called Punjab Lounge. It is mainly lounge music mixed in a chill out mood style. All was fine till I came to track 8. It is called Mooli but it is actually a remix of Bhai Harjinder Singh Ji Srinagar Vale's shabad.

"Dar Mande thande darbar tuj bin surat kare ko meri.

Khol Kapat Gur Maliya Nanak Har Sangat Meet"

It is not mixed with any other lyrics and is on its own. I was quite shocked to hear this.

Now some questions/comments/concers

1. Question Do the mixer DJ needs to get permission from the holding record company in this I think it is T-Series.

If yes, then does the singer/artisist/ragi has an understanding of this.

The point I am trying to make is that has someone just remixed it or really gone to check with the holding company (In this case Prob T-Series).

2. Concern: If this is being remixed in such a way, what is stopping from this CD being played in clubs/bars and other places.

3. Comment: As much as I appreicate that kirtan should be done all over and not being narrow minded about its remix. It still raises a question of the value of Gurbani being used in such a way

Apprecaite sensible comments pls.

Thanks

Tony, I think you have some valid points. I have never been a big fan of re-mixed dhadi vaars mainly due to the uncomfortable feeling of the vaars being played in the club scene, I have often wondered about Shabads being used in the same format. In the eratic club/bar environment sometimes misguided youth cry out the Sikh jaikaray or wave the nishan sahib, mistakenly thinking it is all a show of honour and dignity. Maybe in their ill-advised and erroneous way, the DJs think they are showing an appreciation of what they feel being “Sikh” is all about.

Sikh elders, jathebhandhia and people like you and me should take on the responsibility of speaking to these DJs/youth and educate them about what Gurbani means to a Sikh. Collectively we should approach the producers of this album and make clear the sensivity of the issue and express our concerns of Gurbani being “unintentionally” manipulated by them.

Yes bani is being remixed in this song/remix.

And it is the Shabad by Bhai Harjinder Singh ji

""Dar Mande thande darbar tuj bin surat kare ko meri.

Khol Kapat Gur Maliya Nanak Har Sangat Meet"

Your the real joke mate, you are so intollorent! Whats your problem why do you feel that every single problem in sikhi is due to the Hindus. If hinduism was so BAD dont you think maharaj Shri Akaal Purukh would have wiped it out?

You have absolutly no nimarta, therefore you should feel ashamed to call yourself a sikh, as sikhisms golden rule is tollorence, only after the boundry is broken should the sword be taken up. You are a joke and a stain on Sikhi!

youth should stay away from you, as you r kausangat!

My two rupees worth...

I think we need to distinguish between dhadhi and gurbani. Whilst I think nothing is wrong with remixing the former, something Tigerstyle has done very well, doing the same to the latter seems wrong. Don't misunderstand me though, I'm not saying that we should not experiment with bani on a musical level. If you hear some of the stuff coming from the goray Sikhs in America it is really beautiful, soul inspiring and deeply spiritual and they experiment with different instruments such as guitars. In fact remember that the common bajaa that is used in Gurdwaras are in fact a European innovation as the instrument came to the Panjab via Europeans (it is an adapted harmonium).

But using bani for dance tracks - something seems very wrong with that especially if we imagine it being played in clubs.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
