Gurbani Sangeet Pracheen Reet Ratnavali By Bhai Avtar Singh-Gurbachan Singh


Recommended Posts

Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa! Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh!

Does anybody know where I can find the first part to this book? Either free or for purchase; digital, paperback, or hardcover--anything will work!

I know the second part is available from JSKS, but the first part has been out of publication for quite some time. I've been desperately seeking out this book for years now with no luck, including in shops in India :-/ Much thanks if you do find a copy!

It's not in print anymore, so pretty much impossible. I have a pdf of the Sri Raag section which i can email to you if you want, i think only a very few people have hard copies, Bhai Baldeep Singh is the only one i know of. Probably someone decent contacts will enable you to get one but finding them is difficult.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa

Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

Singh ji, where did you scanned volume 1 ??

I have both volumes.

Will make them available via a new websitein a few months after they have been scanned, along with a few other rare Gurmat Sangeet granths. It's about time certain people stopped having a monopoly on Sikh resources which should be the inheritance of the whole panth (as was originally intended).

Ustaad Sital Singh Sitara has also recently released a book on all the raags of sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

At the same time, we should generously create demand for more quality work by 'purchasnig' good books, good kirtan, good kathhaa etc, in order to ensure the sevadars are able to have a decent living and provide for their kids (duty of grisht). If sevadars are able to commit full time to seva, then the quality of seva will be so much higher.

Only out of print or books where the author has expired should be scanned/digitised/OCRd, and where the author is alive, then done with their permission. There is no point being 'Khalsa' if the most basic of ethics elude us.

Don't despair, inspire to share.

:-)

    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

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   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
    • Wasn't Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom on amd always commemorated on 6th June? How come it was 30th May?  Just like 6th June 84, where the likes of Terrorists like Indira Gandhi chose to attack Darbar Sahib where many many innocent Sikhs would suffer, as they went to commemorate Martyrdom of Maharaj. 
    • best thing is to follow the Sikh Rehat Maryada and use common sense for gray areas. Anything outside of that's irrelevant tbh that code is what Guru Gobind Singh Ji and the 5 Pyaare agreed on when creating Amrit in 1699
