A New Era Begins: The FIRST EVER Sikh Kirtan Exam Launch!

  • Summary

  • Welcome to our podcast episode introducing the groundbreaking Sikh Kirtan Exam! Join us as we dive deep into the rich world of Raag Kirtan and explore the significance of this new educational opportunity.

    In this episode, we start by getting to know our guests: Dr Harjinder Singh Lallie and Bibi Sukhmani Kaur and their journeys into the world of Kirtan. We discuss where their interest in Kirtan originated and unpack concepts around Raag Kirtan. Through engaging analogies, such as comparing Kirtan to the Mona Lisa and using paint as a metaphor for Raag, we illustrate the beauty and complexity of this musical tradition.

    We also touch on the importance of having a spiritual life and the role of the Harmonium in India, along with insights into becoming a Darbar Sahib Raagi and the tests they must face. The conversation delves into who Kirtan is performed for.

    As we transition from learning to teaching Kirtan, we share tips on finding a good teacher or ustaad and provide details about classes available across the UK. We then explore the differences between Vaja and Tanti Saaj Kirtan before introducing the Kirtan Exam itself.

    Listeners will gain an understanding of the exam structure, the university selection process, and what happens if a student doesn’t pass. We also address important questions about prerequisites, age eligibility, and whether prior experience or knowledge of Punjabi/Gurmukhi is necessary.

    Throughout the episode, we celebrate the greatness of the Kirtan Exam and emphasize the respect required for Gurbani. Our guests also share their future aspirations, favorite Kirtan Sakhi, and memorable experiences, providing a personal touch to this informative discussion.
