Thumbs up Kirtan with English sub-titles

Raag Yaman Kalyan in Gurbani Kirtan

While you are listening to kirtan video clips with English Transliterations, you might want to identify the particular raag in which it's being sung.

The professional musicians will always attempt to sing the shabad in the prescribed raag. But most amateurs could sing the shabad in any raag which they feel comfortable.

During this learning process, that I'm attempting to take you through, other music clips of the same raag will be provided for you to identify this raag from the similarities.
These short lessons are good for both adults and children and especially beneficial to those who want to learn how to play the harmonium by hearing it.

This is raag Kalyan. While you listen to it, below the meanings of the shabad :

Raag Kalyan (audio) : http://www.sawf.org/audio/kalyan/lata_gurbani.ram

Shabad Transliteration:
Gaurhee Guru Amar Das

mil maerae preethamaa jeeo thudhh bin kharee nimaanee ||
Meet me, O my Dear Beloved. Without You, I am totally dishonored.

mai nainee needh n aavai jeeo bhaavai ann n paanee ||
Sleep does not come to my eyes, and I have no desire for food or water.

paanee ann n bhaavai mareeai haavai bin pir kio sukh paaeeai ||
I have no desire for food or water, and I am dying from the pain of separation. Without my Husband Lord, how can I find peace?

gur aagai karo binanthee jae gur bhaavai jio milai thivai milaaeeai ||
I offer my prayers to the Guru; if it pleases the Guru, He shall unite me with Himself.

aapae mael leae sukhadhaathaa aap miliaa ghar aaeae ||
The Giver of peace has united me with Himself; He Himself has come to my home to meet me.

naanak kaaman sadhaa suhaagan naa pir marai n jaaeae ||4||2||
O Nanak, the soul-bride is the everlasting Lord's wife; her Husband Lord never dies and He shall never leave. ||4||2||



Explanations on Raag Kalyan for beginners (text) : Raga Kalyan - we shall use the name interchangeably with Yaman. As the preeminent night-time Raga, Yaman embodies considerable gravitas. No other Raga has cut so wide a swathe across all genres of music and no other Raga has purchased so viselike a hold on the Indian's thoughts and feelings. Every child embarking on a preliminary study of classical music brings with her a working familiarity of Kalyan obtained through folk and other sources. Yaman has come to be acknowledged as the touchstone among classical musicians in calibrating a peer's quality and depth, its mastery deemed a sine qua non for any serious student. The magnitude and extent of Yaman's reach impel us to offer here a substantial listening experience both in the realm of the 'light' and the classical. In the posse of clips that follows, the Yaman and Yaman Kalyan instances are commingled.

Other Videos/Audio on same raga :
Aaj moray aaye hain
Man Chaao Bhaya Praph Aagam Sunya
Gun Naad Gun Aanand
Har Har Simro Sant Gopala 1
Har Har Simro Sant Gopala 2
Bin kartar na kirtan mano
Gur ke charan ji ka nistara
Kaun bidh ta ki kaha karu
Sajan tere charan ki
Gun naad dhun anad bhed
Har jee mata har ji pita
Mere hiyre ratan nam har vasiya
Mere lalan ki sobha

Translation from Shabad Hazare :
This shabad is from Shabad Hazare

Jeeo darat hai aapNaa Kai sio karee pukaar
My heart is afraid; to whom should I complain?

Dookh visaaraN seviaa sadaa sadaa daataar. 1.
I serve Him, who makes me forget my pains;
He is the Giver, forever and ever.1.

Saahib meraa neet navaa, sadaa sadaa dataar.1. rahaao.
My Lord and Master is forever new; He’s the Giver forever and ever.1. Pause.

Andin sahib seveeai, ant chaddaae soe
Night and Day, I serve the Lord and Master; He shall save me in the end.

SuN suN meree KaamNee, paar utaaraa hoe.2.
Hearing and listening, O My dear sister, I have crossed over.2.

Dayaal terai naam taraa, sad kurbaaNai jaao.1 rahaao.
O Merciful Lord, your Naam carries me across.
I am forever a sacrifice to You. 1. Pause.

Sarbun(g) saachaa eik hai, doojaa naahee koe
In all the world, there is only the One True Lord, there is no other at all

Taakee sevaa so kare, jaa kau naddar kare.3.
He alone serves the Lord upon whom the Lord casts His glance of Grace.

Tudh baajh piaare kev rahaa,
Without you, O Beloved, how could I even live?

saa vaddiaaee deh jit naam terai lag rahaa
Bless me with such greatness, that I may remain attached to your Naam

doo jaa naahee koe, jis aagai piaare jaae kahaa.1.Rahaao.
There is no other, O Beloved, to whom I can go and speak with. 1. Pause.

Sevee sahib aapNaa, avar na jaachau koe
I serve my Lord and Master; I ask for no other.

Naanak taa kaa daas hai, bind bind chukh chukh hoe.4.
Nanak is His slave; moment by moment, bit by bit, he is a sacrifice to Him.4.



YouTube - Bhai Onkar Singh Una Sahib wale - Toon Man Vaseya

Exclamation Re: Kirtan with English sub-titles

I think subtitle oon Kirtan benefit all.

Just because people understand Punjabi, it does not mean they understand Bani. That has been demonstrated time and time again.

One example I have highlighted time and time again is that of Halal - which is a form of ritual sacrifice and even ritual purification but is time and time again translated by people as simply meaning kill ot slaughter............this sort of lazy translation or "prejudicial translation" as I call it is not only lazy but misleading.

There are many words in Gurbani like this that are Persian in origin and some Sanskrit.......subtitle may help us to gain a clearer meaning.

For the man who has God in his heart, he alone is the true Brahmin.
O stupid fool, be not proud of your caste/race (Jaat), by this pride many sins arise.
Everyone says there are four castes/races (Jaat), but they are all created from the Lords seed (essence).
All men are moulded from the same clay, but the potter has fashioned it into vessels of numerous forms.
By joining the five elements, the form of the body is made, no one can say that the element is less in one and more in another" Pg 1128 SGGS
