Puratan Ragi- Bhai Bakshish Singh ji

The way KIRTAN should be sung.....
Each single word of GURBANI is clearly heard/audible..and sound of saaz/musical instruments is SECONDARY !! AND ONLY GURBANI as WRITTEN in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji...cent per cent..NO "additions" such as Waheguru waheguru satnam bolo ji Satnam etc etc to BREAK the uninterrupted flow of GURBANI !! Waheguru satnam can be japped at END of a shabad but NOT in MIDWAY...

2. The WAY Gurbani Videos should be SHOWN....with GURBANI and or its Meanings..NOT as usually shown..Gaudily dressed RAGIS in Matching dastaars cholas shining new wajas tablas.... showmanship style. The RAGI JATHA usually occupies 100% of the VCD screen..and GURBANI is in the bACKGROUND as AUDIO ONLY. Even worse are the Dhadrianwallah types who dont even Sing GURBANI..but tell tall tales, sakhis, irrelvant stories and pass the time, in gaudy showmanship clothes.

3. Notice the advise given in the Rahao Tuk....Har ka Bilovanna Bhai...its perfectly in line with what Modern Scinece tells us TODAY....Example is by Bhagat Kabir Ji more thna 600 YEARS AGO...6 CENTURIES AGO...BUT what Kabir Ji tells us..no one knew until a few years ago...That FAST SPEED BLENDING/MIXING/GRINDING etc etc DESTROYS essential Vitamins, food elements etc.....Bhagat ji informs us that For FULL and HEALTHY effect we need to blend/grind/mix whatever..at SLOW AND STEADY PACE..such action RETAINS ALL VITAMINS and essentila elements in "food"...in this case its SPIRITUAL LEVEL. Bhagat ji says the Name of HAR..should be blended at a slow sehaj speed with full LOve and attention...so that the "Tatts"..vitamins, minerals etc are NOT LOST....and our MIND/MANN gets full "benefits" from the blending/mixing of Har-Naam !! ( Bilovanna is what Punjabi housewives used to do early morning..place fresh milk/or YOUGHURT in an earthen pot and RIRRAKK..swirl a wooden stick rapidly inside the pot to make BUTTER..(DHUDH/DHAIEN RIRRKANNA) The resulting butter was then made into GHEE and the Butter-milk was drunk as Lassii.
Now a days this Rirrking is doen by High speed Blenders with steel blades...no ownder then that lasee and ghee butter etc doesnt taste the same !! ATTA ground by steel drums revolving at high speed versus ATTA ground by STONE MILLS run slowly by Running water tastes miles apart..STONE GROUND ATTA is cool and sweet...high speed ground atta is HOT and tastes bitter !! Obvioulsy stone grinding retains all vitamins etc..BUT is not viable anymore due to high demand for quick grinding now done by modern mills of steel drums...THUS all vitamins minerals DESTROYED during manufacture have to be ARTIFICIALLY ADDED LATER !! as in Powdered Milk as well...Isnt it amazing that Bhagat Kabir Ji is telling us all this 6 centuroies ago....for ME.it is !!

THIS is the LP that came out in the early 1970s..and I so fell in LOVE with Bhai bakshish Singh Jis Kirtan that I straight away bought a spare copy of the LP ( at a price of Singapore Dollars 90 which in those days was a princely sum...one copy was not enough as i didnt wnat to risk losing it ever..i still have both copies in pristine condition...those days a LP had just 1-3 shabads on it...imagine the hundreds of thoisuands free on the Internet today..hw incredibly lucky we are...)
