Motivational Poem:Wake Up Sikhs

-
Awake and arise my brother Sikhs
For if you keep on sleeping
You will never stop weeping

It is already much too late
For you to further sit and wait

Your religion is being hijacked
Your very identity is being attacked

Your image has been battered
Your prestige has been shattered

You are losing your turban gifted to your Gurus

Some of you drink and smoke
Some even cut their hair

You are the followers of Guu Nanak,
The bringer of love and peace

You are the descendants of Guru Gobind,
The symbol of love and sacrifice

Guru Nanak spread the message of love
Guru Gobind sacrificed his own for others

They showed us the right way
So wake up Sikhs!

For you to fail to realise
Or if you fail to wake and rise
Sikhs and their panth will be things of the past

Let us unify
Let is all say:

KHALSA MERO ROOP HAI KHAS,
KHALSA MEH HAU KARU NIWAS,
KHALSA MERO PIND PRAN,
KHALSA MERO JAAN KI JAAN

Kirtan Saaj- Sarangi

The Sarangi is a remarkably enchanting instrument which dates back to 5000BC, it was created by the great scholar, Raavan. The name of the instrument translates to mean 'one hundred colors', it is also known as the mother to all stringed instruments as well as the only instrument which is so close to the human voice. This astonishing instrument was created to sing the praise of the Creator, it was used for this purpose and then with evolution it was used less. In the court of the sixth Sikh Guru, Guru Hargobind Sahib it was brought back to the spiritual arena and used to sing the 22 ballads (Vaars) from the Guru Granth Sahib Ji. There is a huge difference between a Dhadd Sarangi or Tota which is used to sing Dhadi Vaars and this sarangi which is also known as a classical or full size sarangi, the purpose and sound of these two instruments separates them clearly.
