Sajjan_Thug Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 What is the oldest recorded katha or keertan we have in audio or video? It will be great if we can make a collection of these. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chatanga1 Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 From my recollection the recording of katha /kirtan started with Sant Gurbachan Singh and Sant Ishar Singh Ji around the 1960s. Someone gave the Taksal a tape recorder and from then on the katha was recorded. Haven't heard anything before the 1960s. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people say Baba Gurbachan Singh Ji Bindranwale did katha of entire Dasam Granth but the Taksal doesn't want to release it yet, is this true, anyway we can find out? Also, some of the kathas of Baba Gurbachan Singh Ji have been lost and the originals can't be found. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chatanga1 Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 From what Kam told me there was a lot of katha by Sant Gurbachan Singh at Chowk Mehta all recorded on spools. However because material like this needed to be kept in certain conditions a lot of it got ruined and unable to use. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus i do remember Bhagat Jaswant Singh Ji did make all the recording which are online using the avilable resources at the time in the 1960s as they did seva of setting up the mic stand etc. These recordings were later converted into mp3s i think under Baba Thakur Singh Ji and posted online. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
