Planning the 2011 Gurmat Sangeet Darbar

We are seeking a host city for the Sixth Annual Annual Gurmat Sangeet Darbar. This is an annual program that began in Boston in 2005; each year the event is organized in a different city. Through the Guru's grace the 2005, 2006, 2007 & 2008 Gurmat Sangeet Darbars were very successful events, during which several young, non-professional exponents of Gurmat Sangeet were provided the opporutnity for Seva in the cities of Boston ,Chicago, Toronto, Salt Lake City and Washington DC.. In addition, eminent personalities from the world of Gurmat Sangeet were honored for their Seva.

The event will be organized over a Saturday and Sunday at the Host Gurdwara Sahib. 4 - 5 non-professional Jathas will be invited to participate as invited guests. In addition one eminent personality from the world of Gurmat Sangeet will be honored. Young local Kirtaniyas and Sangat members are also encouraged to participate in the event.

Any Sangat that wishes to organize this event in their city in 2011 is invited to correspond with us by sending email to sevadars@gurmatsangeetproject.com

 

A complete redesign of the Gurmat Sangeet Project website !!

Boston, April 30 2010

Gur Fateh Ji ! The Gurmat Sangeet Project has been active for almost six years now. With the Guru's blessing we have been able to bring you many hours of the Guru's Kirtan as we have tried to promote, preserve and propogate the Gurmat Sangeet Tradition. As our content has grown, the site has become increasingly difficult to maintain and navigate. Based you your feedback, we are embarking upon a complete revamping and redesign of the site. Some of the key imperatives are : adding a search capability by Shabad, Contributor, Raga, Tala, Singer, Event, Occasion etc., presenting a link to each shabad and its translation, adding easy to use maintenance tools and so on. We have decided to engage a profesisonal Website Develoment Company to execute the re-design.

As youa re well aware, The Gurmat Sangeet Project is a non-profit that is funded completely by you. In order to complete this project we need the following Seva :

  • Funds for the re-design effort
  • Volunteer Web Systems Designer(s) who can work with us to develop a Requirements Specifications Document (This Seva is urgent and critical)
  • Volunteer Sevadars who will help migrate the content to the new Site
  • Volunteer Sevadars who will Beta Test the new site
  • Sevadars who can facilitate integration with searchable Gurbani Engines

Please email us at sevadars@gurmatsangeetproject.com to sign up for any of these Sevas

Please Contribute Generously to the re-design project

(We are a non-profit; your contibutions are 100% Tax Deductible)
