The Fourth Annual Gurmat Sangeet Darbar
March 29 / March 30, 2008 in Toronto

Ardas at the conclusion of the Saturday Diwan; 2008 Gurmat Sangeet Darbar

The 2008 Gurmat Sangeet Darbar was held on March 29 and 30th at the Mississisauga Gurdwara Sahib in the Totonto Area. For an informal article on the program, please visit the Gurmat Sangeet Blog.
Professor Purshottam Singh Ji, a Toronto area teacher and Ustad, who has dedicated his life to serving Gurmat Sangeet was honored at the program. Young Kirtaniyas from all over North America, including a large contingent of Professor Sahib's own students, came together for two blissful days, singing Bani according to the time honored traditions of Gurmat Sangeet.

The theme for this year's program was :

jau supnw Aru pyKnw AYsy jg kau jwin ]

ien mY kCu swco nhI nwnk ibnu Bgvwn ]23]

Evanescent, like a dream, know this world to be

All of this is unreal, O Nanak, without Waheguru. ||23||

In addition to featuring young Kirtaniyas, the program included:

· Gurmat Sangeet Learn-a-Shabad Workshop, in which Kirtaniyas, young and old, had the opportunity to learn a new Shabad. A range of material from basic shabads to Partaals was covered according to the needs of each student

· Gurmat Sangeet Appreciation presentation, in which the unique aspects of the Gurmat Sangeet tradition were discussed

Many thanks to S. Ajit Singh, who painstakingly recorded the entire program over two days. He then proceeded to clean up and process the recordings, which is a huge, time consuming task. He also took most of the wonderful photographs on this page. Without him, it would not have been possible for The Gurmat Sangeet Project to bring these recordings to you.

 

All credit for organizing the 2008 Gurmat Sangeet Darbar goes to S. Gurmit Singh, S. Harvinder Singh and their team of dedicated volunteers, who did a stellar job of making all the logistcal arrangements and ruuning the whole program very efficiently.
