Dr. Gurnam Singh, a Sikh musicologist, has compiled the complete 31 ragas of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib in his melodious voice with the pure music of stringed instruments.

A renowned scholar, kirtankar and Dean, Faculty of Arts and Culture at the Punjabi University, Patiala, Dr. Singh’s compilation of the 31 ragas of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib was recently released by Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee President, Avatar Singh Makkar, to mark the occasion of the birth anniversary of the fourth Sikh master, Guru Ramdass. The recording included one shabad in every Raag of Sri Guru Granth Sahib sung along with stringed instruments, produced by Fine Touch Company.

The recording titled ‘Sri Guru Granth Sahib Raag Darshan’, includes the bani of Guru Nanak Dev, Guru Amardas, Guru Ramdas, Guru Arjan Dev, Guru Tegh Bahadur, Shekh Farid, Bhagat Bhikhan, Bhagat Namdev and Bhagat Kabir, recited by Dr. Gurnam Singh and a booklet has also been prepared along with the recording, which mentions the entire information of the 31 ragas, both in English and Punjabi.

Dr. Singh also served as a visiting scholar in the field of Sikh music in various foreign universities. Dr. Singh has developed Gurmat Sangeet academically and as a result, this subject has been introduced in various universities through the establishment of Gurmat Sangeet Departments and chairs at the international level.

Dr. Singh contributed a lot in the revival of the tradition of stringed instruments and has also published 13 books and many other prestigious recordings in the field of Gurmat Sangeet.

Before this project, Dr. Singh also composed the music of raga-based shabad- Kirtan with renowned musician Jagjit Singh for classical and film singers, which was released last year.

    • 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.
