The Guru has pronounced that Kirtan is the magical formula to keep the human soul afloat in the dark era of Kaljug provided the devotee sings the pure melodies with his or her heart closely focused on the meaning and true spirit of the Gurbani thus: ਕਲਜੁਗ ਮਹਿ ਕੀਰਤਨੁ ਪਰਧਾਨਾ ॥ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਜਪੀਐ ਲਾਇ ਧਿਆਨਾ ॥Kaljug meh kīrṯan parḝẖĝnĝ. The Sikh scripture contains 31 Ragas and 17talas which form the basis for Kirtan musical compositions. Traditionally the Indian musical instruments the Harmonium and Tabla have been used for this type of music.
Traditionally the music used to accompany Kirtan has been Indian Classical Music, which is based on Ragas and taal (rhythmic beat patterns). The Sikhs place huge value on this type of singing and a Sikh is expected to listen to and/or sing Guru-Kirtan as frequently as possible. Gurbani Kirtan or Shabad Kirtan is one of the important aspects of Sikhism that refers to the singing of the Sacred Hymns from the Guru Granth Sahib accompanied by music. This set of 192 hymns were compiled by the fifth Sikh Guru, Guru Arjan Dev Ji. According to Sikh doctorine, this Bani is believed to bring peace to one’s mind and compoundly peace to the world. The full recital takes about 90 minutes and is normally undertaken by everyone in the congregation. This set of Hymns or Bani is very popular among the Sikhs, who frequently recite it in their places of worship called Gurdwaras and at home. The word Sukhmani literally means Peace in your mind. Each section, which is called an Ashtpadi (asht means 8), consists of 8 hymns per Ashtpadi. Sukhmani Sahib is the name given to the set of hymns divided into 24 sections which appear in the Sri Guru Granth Sahib, the Sikh Holy Scriptures on page 262. The Sahj Path can be held at the Gurudwara or at your home. So in this way, they are continuously reading Gurbani at home for a little while perhaps on a daily basis. After they have carried out the bhog of the paath, they begin another paath. They begin one Sahaj paath and in some cases take up to one year to read the whole of the holy Granth. Some dedicated Sikhs who have the Guru Granth Sahib installed at their home, carry out a Sahaj paath on a continuous basis at home. The pace of the paath is undetermined and will depend entirely on the reader(s). or Christian templates that have at times changed the connotative meaning of Sikh teachings. A Sahej Paath may be fulfilled by one or more readers. The full text of this chapter is available as a preview. Sahej or Sadharan Paath is the complete reading of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib from start to finish accomplished at the reader’s pace. Sangat members volunteer and offer Langar Sewa for preparation and serving Langar to the Sangat. The Langar maryada is carried out each day in due earnest and humility. Guru ka Langar, Gurbani Kirtan or Path Programs such as Sukhmani Sahib Path or Sahaj Path are services that can be booked for you and your family through our booking form or through the Gurdwara Sahib Office.
