Satgur Nanak Pargateya and free downloads

I am participating in an event organized by Oneness USA at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center on Nov 23. The organizers requested me to sing Satgur Nanak Pargateya for a portion of the program, so I made a composition yesterday and recorded myself practicing it (video below).

This is the 157th composition for this year; most of the compositions are that of or about Guru Nanak. Its been a wonderful year of singing!

Bhai Gurdas' love for Guru Nanak shines through this one.

Sathguru Nanak pargateya miti dund jag chanan hoya

With the emergence of the true Guru Nanak, the mist cleared and the light scattered all around.

Jiou(n) kar sooraj nikaliaa thaarae shhapae a(n)dhhaer paloaa

As if at the sun rise the stars disappeared and the darkness dispelled.

Si(n)gh bukae miragaavalee bha(n)nee jaaeae n dhheer dhharoaa

With the roar of the lion in the forest the flocks of escaping deer now cannot have endurance.

Jithhai baabaa pair dhharai poojaa aasan thhaapan soaa

Wherever Baba put his feet, a religious place was erected and established.

Sidhh aasan sabh jagath dhae naanak aadh mathae jae koaa

All the siddh-places now have been renamed on the name of Nanak.

Ghar ghar a(n)dhar dhharamasaal hovai keerathan sadhaa visoaa

Everyhome has become a place of dharma where singing.

Baabae thaarae chaar chak na kha(n)dd prithhamee sachaa dtoaa

Baba liberated all four directions and nine divisions of earth.

Guramukh kal vich paragatt hoaa

Gurmukh (Guru Nanak) has emerged in this kaliyug, the dark age.

Singing Guru Nanak for a Year

I decided to spend a year to spend a year working on compositions of Guru Nanak for #GuruNanak550. Someone asked me write about this experience and this is what I said: Singing Guru Nanak For a Year As long as I sing, I live. As soon as I forget, I die ( So Kyon Visrai ) - Guru Nanak, Raag Asa On the momentous occasion of Guru Nanak's 550th birth anniversary celebrations, I decide to spend a year meditating upon the words and music of Guru Nanak. Its exciting ... For many years Bhai Gurdas has reminded me how Guru Nanak lighted his life, Kal Taaran Guru Nanak Aaya . I commence excitedly, focusing on the light that is brighter than one hundred moons and one thousand suns combined, the light of Guru Nanak’s prayer, the universal Aarti with the stars studded in the sky’s platter. I decide to sing Guru Nanak completely this year. The initial plan is to record 55 new compositions . I think this to be momentous because normally I can only do 10-12 compositions in...

Balhari Gur Aapne

Guru Nanak: I absolutely love my Guru. For it does not even take him an instant to infuse divinity into someone. Guru Angad: Even if 100 moons grew, and 1000 suns rose, without the Guru it would be pitch dark.
