Vaheguru ji ka khalsa, Vaheguru ji ki fateh

I'm planning to buy a vaaja from the internet (no other options available at the moment and i really need to get one badly). Can you recommend any sites where i could get quality harmoniums that wouldn't be too expensive? I'm only a beginner, so it doesn't need to be anything very fancy, a portable one would be preferred though. And it should be either from UK/Europe or India.

I've found some with ok prices from chardikalaa.com and raj musicals. Any experiences or other suggestions?

thanks

I've never bourght one online but i feel the best way to buy vaja's are from Ragis as the usally wanna sell their vaja before they go back to india so u can get it cheap and u know its good quality :D

VJKK VJKF!!

Yup, i've heard so! But i live in Finland and i've yet to see a raagi here. Maybe i should travel to UK or something then. But i'm too lazy right now. But if someone volunteers s/he can get one on my behalf and send or bring it to me :p :g:

Or the vaaja can grow wings...

Either way...You'll have it ;-)

Maybe not.. :umm: i would need to keep it in a cage then, and no way is such a cage going to fit in my room.

I was checking out Bina's harmoniums earlier today, they seem and sound quite alright. Btw, is there some particular benefit if the vaaja is made of teak instead of some other material?

I've heard that Nagi's harmoniums are good too, or even the very best, but are they available at some place in UK? or India? (online, i mean) I found some being sold in the US, but it would cost too much because of the shipping.

Maybe you can make the effort to go and get the Vaaja yourself...SOOoooo instead of the Vaaja---You can grow the WINGS...like an angel... =)...COOL?

Check this site out: http://www.jas-musicals.com/sectrad/126/Harmonium-cases.asp

I believe they have great variety and the prices seem fair as well.

Also a suggestion, do not settle for less or junior vajai. Buy a good one and you never know your skills might enhance in short time and then you will be looking to buy a better vaja. So spend the money now and get a good decent vaja.

There is contact information there if you need to know more about what your buying (ie. brandname etx..)

Hope that helps :)

Raj musicals is really Good. Bhai Kultar Singh used to get his vaja from there and Bhai Avtar Singh jee used to play Raj Musicals tous. Principle Dyal Singh jee Rakab Ganj Sahib Vidyala also buys instruments from them. I have done kirtan on both a raj musicals and DMS vaja, they are both great. Personally I would say go for raj musicals. Below is the DMS website if u want to order from them

    • Anyone linking the "kenyan" style turban to Ramgarhia caste is stupid lol. It came from the Jat-only Sikh Regiment in British India (folded, starched single dastar without a pinch). It's called "kenyan style" as Kenya is where it's most popular today and has a lot of Tarkhan living there but it's originally from Jatts in India. Dastar actually opposes caste as a concept anyway so it really doesn't matter.
    • you can use nrimb.com this matrimonial site is very helpful to find Sikhs and other matches for marriage in Canada.
    • Is there a need to insult someone's Dastar style? Feel some shame When you see a Sikh wearing a Dastar you should smile and think "that's my brother" ,not laugh at how he chose to tie his Pagh. Maharaj made a brotherhood in the Khalsa not a fashion contest.
    • Respectfully, this isn't a good idea bro. This is a Sikh forum so it's best not to be distracted with other topics. Most people who visit this site don't have accounts and have questions about Sikhi so we do seva here by educating the Jaante as well. Maybe create a subreddit on Reddit for "casual Sikhs" over there. It would be better as you could link that with r/sikh. And also there are like 4 people still on this site so you won't get much response. It's really inactive here most people use reddit now
    • Sikhs can sleep nanga-sirr if they choose to . Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM. The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh
