whats the name of the singh at GTB? rocket ive heard of. send me their numbers, any idea how much they charge? im thinking maybe ustaad ranbhir singh namdhari, his teacher (surjit singh) learnt from pandit ram narayan (one of the best sarangi masters in the world today), he coming back from india in new year, but till then i wanna learn sarangi basics and then learn with ranbhir singh.

does anyone in leicester have a spare sarangi i can borrow for 2 monthes? inderpal? u know anyone?

also, another q, someone in my family is going in february time to india, ive asked them to get me a sarangi, can anyone reccomend me any good saaj shops in nur mahal/jalandher area? also how much is a sarangi in india? uk ones are around £260. and also what do i need to look for in a good sarangi?

thanks

You could try gurdial and Sons, ill pm you the address as soon as I find it. Im not sure they make Sarangis but they make all the other tanti Saaj. They are based in Jullandhar. However Its best if you know someone who has knowledge of the saaj. He might just sell you a dodgy one (you will find this problem all over India). There are loads of places in Jullandhar like Calcutta music house, gujranwala etc, but there dilrubas etc are not the best, im not sure about sarangi. Ill try and find there address and send them to you.

You could go Jwaadi Taksal in Ludhiana. Its not far from Jullandhar. They Sell instruments really cheap because baba jee does not keep a profit on the saaj. At the Taksal you might want to speak to Principle Sukhwant Singh and ask him for a recommendation. He will take his time out to give you advise. If you have relatives in Delhi, the best saaj can be obtained from Raj musicals. The are expensive, but there saaj are one of the best.

    • 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.
