Gurmat Sangeet Darbar

What would you get on this site ?
Here you would find audio recordings in MP3 format and video links of contemporary Gurmat Sangeet (raag keertan)(sikh spiritual music) recorded live at various Gurdwaras (sikh temples) in and around Toronto, Canada. The listener will be able to appreciate the beauty of Gurbani (Sikh religious scriptures compiled in the holy book called Sri Guru Granth Sahib, SGGS) and Gurmat Sangeet through these recordings.

The purpose

The purpose of sharing these recordings with the world is to propagate Gurbani through beautiful music in the purest* form, as prescribed by the Gurus (Sikh spiritual masters). It's a treasure and I hope it will be recognized as such by every listener.

Quality

Special efforts are made to record the programs in high quality. The final mix is delivered to you in MP3 format that does not do full justice to the original recorded sound quality, but it is the only option to share with the available resources. When played on a good speaker system or headphones, the listener will enjoy the brilliant sound as heard in a studio album.

Rights and Permissions

All recordings hosted here are with the permission of the performers and the organizers of the respective programs. One may download for personal use and distribute them freely without any modification. One may not use these recordings for commercial purposes including but not limited to radio broadcast, internet broadcast and one may not host them on a website without explicit permission. The rights remain with the performers and the sound recordist. The Guru's Bani is for all, but one cannot simply discount the intellectual property rights of the performers and others involved in the recording process. Gurbani Sangeet is put up on this site with the belief that a person is free to come and listen to live keertan in a Gurdwara. It is highly recommended that people who wish to listen to keertan should attend the Gurdwara since being in the 'sangat' has its special significance. The people who perform shabad keertan in the Gurdwara also need encouragement from a live audience. I hope that these recordings will infuse in the listener the desire to come and listen to Gurbani Sangeet in the Gurdwara more often and be blessed.

Thanks to all the artists ('raagis' in the true sense) for keeping the Gurmat Sangeet alive through hard work of learning and performing keertan as 'seva'.

Dedication
This site is dedicated in the service of Sri Akal Purakh. The 'seva' of sound recording and photographs gets done by the grace of Almighty.

*Purest: Most keertan tracks here are performed in the raag as specified in Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji. There will be some exceptions.
