Sikh Sacred Music -Gurmat Sangeet English By Dr. Gurnam Singh




The Sangeet Shastra is derived from the rich heritage of Indian classical music based on ragas and from folk music traditions. ‘Gurmat’ means Guru’s point of view and the word ‘Sangeet’ means music in order to convey the message beautifully woven into different melodious ragas. ’Gurmat Sangeet’ is referred to as a ‘Bani’ (word) which is divine and is in verse form no less than poetry. ‘Keertan’ (devotional singing) as described in Sikh holy book Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is the best way to realize and reach to the lord. The Sikhs perform ‘Shabad Keertan’ which leads their way towards spiritual devotion for their Gurus and their religion. The e-book explains what Gurmat Sangeet is about with its referential form of writing giving prominence to the contribution made by Ten Gurus. The book tells about ‘Raag Prabandh’ (arrangement) in Gurmat Sangeet, the ‘Classical Singing Style’ and about the significance of ‘Folk Music’ towards brings together Gurmat Sangeet as a whole.
