SAadmin Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 I have always wondered this if its right or wrong to listen to nitneem banis for newbie sikhs like me in kirtan... because personally i myself have a problem listening to anything without kirtan... i cant concentrate with just plain nitneem bani but if its sang not recited in kirtan it helps me better to concentrate. Just wanted to know if i m actually breaking the maryada by doing this? :? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr §ingh Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 Yes they are 'Kalyug mai Kirtan Pardana' that might be why Kirtan makes u a bit more fokused I personally Don't see anything wrong with it, as from ang 1 to ang 1230 whole DHAN DHAN GURU GRANTH SAHIB JI Mahraraj is in Raags...then I dont see why not.. :? but then agian I'm an ignorant person bhull chukk maaf 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 There was a reason the Gurbani is in Raags, because you're mind becomes more receptive and music holds universal appeal, as Mr Singh Ji pointed out correctly, Kaljug mein Kirtan Pardhana...Waheguru! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheena Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 Use/Do that which Works. If kirtan makes you more Receptive to waheguru's anand, then how could that be wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sukhsingh Posted January 31, 2004 Report Share Posted January 31, 2004 so does anyone have it ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niranjana Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Well then??? Does anyone have any of the Nitnem banis (or say Sukhmani Sahib, Sahbd Hazare, Dukhbhajana Sahib etc) in Raag? I do mean Raag and in the case of Jaap Sahib and Dasam Bani, does anyone have these recited in accordance with the correct meters (Chhands). Incidently, and excuse my ignorance here, but what is the difference between Kirtan Sohila, Aarti-Aarta and 'Aarti-Sohila'??? Bhai Gurdas in his Vaars in fact mentions that Sikhs would 'sing' the Sodar and Aarti Sohila...can thoughts? (This would make more sense than say singing Japji Sahib, as these are composed within certain Raags and Meters). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
