hes teaching me mutiya da saka and shialkot da saka, whats the significance of shialkot da saka?

i actually wanted to learn the 6 pure dhadhi raags, apparently once you can play these you can play the rest?

just out of curiosity, is there such thing as "Dhadhi raag"? i got into a debate with a singh today, can anyone post the history of dhadhi? how did it develop? why did it develop? who invented these raags?

also PSD and Chatanga, can you please post and upload pics of old school dhadhis such as Bhai Daya Singh Dilber, Bhai Avtar Singh, Bhai Nirmal Singh. id like this topic to be made into a topic where everyone can learn more about dhadhi, hence why i ask Admin to make this into a sticky.

Also PSD, you uploaded a video of Ajit Singh, which one is he in the alankaar video? Is he the one playing the dhad?

baint, mirja, kali, saka, and different chhands are sung....may be there other types of raag aswell, cant remember at this moment. its true, dhadis these days dnt sing in raag much. mainly in flimi tunes

dhadi raag is different to classical raag. but yes there is dhadi raag. as any decent dhadi ustaad about dhadi raag.

the 1st dhadi raag to be sang in the sikh darbar was "rasaloo" by natha and abdul in the presence of Sri Guru Hargobind Ji

just as today we have the style of DHARNA when we want to tell a sakhi, in Guru times dhadi waran was the only way of doing this. Dhadi waran is inspiring, and Guru Ji used it to inspire Sikhs for battles and war, and a good dhadi jatha will inspire bir rass in anyone.

today if someone wants to tell a sakhi, it is much easier to do it dharna stlye than dhadi style. Dhadi style also involves a lot of poetry, and reading chhands, whearaas dharna can be done in simple panjabi.

it is not something that sikhi created but something that sikhi developed.

the 6 traditional raags were around before sikhi. i have an old cassete of a dhadi jatha telling tha sakhi of nankana sahib, and the recording is poor, but i like to listen to it, as they only perform in the 6 dhadi raags. go to any shop in india and you will find stuff like albela, who dont use any traditional stuff, and more flimy tunes, and in my opinion it is just drivel.

can anyone put up "rasaloo" anywhere please?

apparently, in the debate, mahraj never made the dhadhi raags. my ustad did confirm that and said that over time, the dhadi wale began to make their own raags as they had so much knowledge on music and could do that.

PSD i was hoping you could upload a pic of your dp, if you can do that?

the old casseetee my ustad has got now, i have no idea how to upload a tape onto the net, how can that be done? but i have never heard anything as amazing as that tape though.

jatha i dont know of the name. once i get the cassetee back i will let you know

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
