I would say to heck with what people are saying. Majority of the AKJ kirtanias first learned raag kirtan. It is a great experience after you have learned to professionalize raag. With learning raag you can control the speed of the kirtan if you sing AKJ style. Eventually you will learn AKJ style if you sit with them all by yourself. Every AKJ kirtians learns the alphabet before blending in the AKJ style.

I dont know why people try to act so "wise" by criticizing what they dislike. Thats a big problem in our community. Honestly, I was drawn to the Kirtan because of AKJ style years ago.. I still find AKJ kirtanis much more immersed inot the kirtan than many of the "professional kirtanees"

Anyway, the original poster should be congratulated and encouraged for whatever way he likes to do Kirtan in. I guess its not a thread for spewing your own likes and dislikes.

What is the difference between AKJ kirtan and raaj? I mean, I know that sounds stupid, I know the difference in terms of the way they sound- but I thought the notes were generally the same or similar, and that the speed was just different?

Ahhh, somebody help me out here! I want to learn kirtan to but no idea what to do.

    • 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.
