Matheen Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 (edited) WJKK! WJKF! What do you listen to for inspiration to get to the gym and to motivate you once in the gym? I was listening to Katha about the life of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, and that was great, but it's finished now.

Silence Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 I don't listen to anything personally, at my local gurdwara gym they just blast the shaheedi albums. I think some loud akj simran is an idea 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaheediyan Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 If morning session, Asa di Vaar is made for inspiration, hope, courage, determination - making the impossible possible - it is the Lions spiritual breakfast. This is why Sardar Jassa Singh himself used to sing Asa di Vaar everymorning to Dal Panth - to infuse shakti in them to fight another day. Morning, I also use Jaap Sahib - its format is perfect for a regimented routine - and leaves one thinking outside the box - which helps in combat. Evening wise - what Matheen says (Ithihaas) - but in Dhadi Vaaran form - again, nothing beats Dhadi for creating adrenalin and energy - this is why 6th Master introduced this form of Shakti (dhadi) to the already existing Bhagti (kirtan). I don't really do 'gym' training, but when I am exercising/practicing martial arts - I presently listen to Sukhmani Sahib... I know, its strange. But the type of training I do - I need to slow it right down and focus on technique and situational analysis, rather than needs high energy octane! If it doesn't contradict ones maryada, Chandi di Vaar is also an excellent option, alongside many other Dasam baaniyan. Have fun! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matheen Posted September 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Thanks, Shaheediyan, do you have any links to good dhadi and Aasa Di Vaar? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaljug Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 WJKK! WJKF! What do you listen to for inspiration to get to the gym and to motivate you once in the gym? I was listening to Katha about the life of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, and that was great, but it's finished now. Fateh! Try Balbir Singh Hazuri Ragi's Dasam Bani kirtan, in particular Maate Matang and Sada Jai Bhagauti. Or Burzum: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPJpfNE73fQ K. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laadli Fauj Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Hahaha, shaheediyan loves his raag asa, eh Bhai Balbir Singh is good, or any raagi that knows his stuff Dr Gurnam Singh, Bhai Avtar Singh, Bhai Gurmeet Singh Shaant, Bhai Samund Singh Bhai Santa Singh, Bhai Prithipal Singh, etcetc any gurbani ucharan is good, i like listening to akal ustat a lot of the time night time, raag malhaar and malkauns are awesome bhai balbir singh's Sada jai Bhagauti rendered in raag malkauns is simply amazing. night time work outs, or pulling all nighters studying/doing homework immortal technique 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaheediyan Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 (edited) Raag Asa has been used in Gurbani for a reason - I am simply giving a good example of its utilisation. Asa is a Gurbani Vaar - its whole presentation as a hard hitting folk style vaar of hope is the reason why it has always formed the sung Khalsa NITNEM. It depends on your taste Matheen Ji re which rendition you like! I have found what I consider the perfect Asa ki Vaar - but I don't know who its by as I only have a partial recording as part of Rehraas Sahib! So you will have to do your own research here! I may do a post on this topic in the near future with good examples - watch this space. Re Dhadi - http://www.dhadikavishr.com/ - is probably the best site. Also, generally Bhai Nirmal Singhs kirtan is quite fast paced/energetic - generally all his albums are good to give energy - here is a good example: http://www.keertan.org/andromeda.php?q=f&f=%2FRaagi+Keertan%2FBhai+Nirmal+Singh+Jee%2FJin+Prem+Kiyo Also Bhai Avtar Dilbagh Singhs kirtan is highly energetic - probably more so than Bhai Nirmal Singh Jis! Buy his albums - they are wicked! last but not least - Bhai Baljeet and Bhai Gurmeet Singh Ji - their kirtan is also generally very high energy. http://www.keertan.org/andromeda.php?q=f&f=/Raagi%20Keertan/Bhai%20Baljeet%20Singh%20Gurmeet%20Singh%20Jee All top world class Raagis - bare in mind I have suggested the above for high energy activity - if one wishes to Bhagti - then its a different story!
