I actually thought the kirtan_test video you uploaded to google was good quality

anyway just watched the Bhai Gurpreet Singh Ji video on sikhitube

thanks for uploading

af far as the film tunes. I doubt that Bhai Amolak Singh Ji and other kirtanis watch bollywood movies. The tunes might be the same or simliar but I don't think that's where they picked them up from.

I uploaded that test clip on google video by converting it to mp4 first. On Google video, the result was pathetic as u can see.

Recs will be up on sikhbytes and sikhitube soon.

Gurfateh All,

Did anyone go to Manchester Smagam? I was listening to the Kirtan and was wondering what on earth was Bhai Amolak Singh doing??! I don't mean to sound offensive or rude, but the way he was doing simran I felt was wrong...

It might just be me, but I did overhear another couple of people mention this same thing.

Not to mention the vast amount of films song tunes I heard on the vajaa was shocking! Not that I listen to songs, but it's pretty obvious...

I'm sorry if I have offended anyone, but I just felt that we look up to Gursikhs like these for guidance and inspiration yet when they do something like that it throws everything out of sync...

What was wrong with the way he was doing simran? I personally enjoyed it! and so did many other people! He was doing it with meaning! The trend nowadays is the more loud and fast the simran - the better, even if it means not saying the word 'Vaheguru' properly, and the tabla banging to the max. So make me understand how that is good?

The style he was doing simran was somewhat similar to the way Bhai Jasbir Singh Khanne wale used to do it - and your telling me he wasn't chardhikala?

On the point of film tunes, old hindi songs used to be all written in raags, so if your are doing a shabad in that same raag it is somewhat likely that it will sound a bit similar. But copying 'giddy' tunes from recent times which are not in raag, and makes the recipient think of the song is not right. The shabad must be what we concentrate on.

To recognise these you must have listened to them at some point in your life mate!

Not mentioning any names but there are kirtani who use far more 'giddy' styletunes than Bhai Amolak Singh.

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
