Sikh Musicology - The Ancient Art of Healing


Recommended Posts

Blessed are those beautiful raags, which, when sang, quench all spiritual thirst.

(Guru Arjan Dev Ji, Raag Ramkali)

Sikh Musical Heritage, in collaboration with all the major student Sikh Societies across London, present a series of lectures aiming to shed light on the rich musical heritage of the Sikhs.

The lecture series, a first in Sikh academia, will lead you on a journey from the beginnings of Gurmat Sangeet, Sikh music, through the decline during the last century, and to the current state we find ourselves in today.

The series continues with a lecture Sikh Musicology – The ancient art of healing, aiming to explain to reasoning behind using music alongside spirituality. This lecture will go deep into the traditions of naad-yoga, the art of musical healing. Why did Guru Nanak Dev Ji feel the need to compose his Bani in Raag? These questions and more will be answered in this presentation.

The lecture is at 7pm on Thursday the 9th February at UCL, in the JZ Young Lecture theatre, nearest tube Euston Square. Refreshments will be provided after the lecture.

Below is the itinerary for the complete series. Recording of all the previous lectures can be found on www.rajacademy.com
