Fellow Man in Blue : Gurpreet Singh
Saturday afternoon 27/12 Gurpreet Singh and Harjinder Singh (me) spoke to the sangat from the stage about how we had become Sikhs.
We did some simran before and after, and between his story and my story and dialogue between us, with Gurkamal Singh and members of the sangat the event lasted from 4 till 5.45 pm.
There was only a limited number of sangat present, but those present were really listening and spoke to us in the divan or later downstairs in the langar.
After the 6 pm Rahiras Gurmit Kaur (Dilruba) and Gurdev Singh (tabla) did kirtan in rág on traditional instruments. There is no allowing for tastes, and everyone has there own preferences, but I cannot understand why anyone would want to listen to Bollywood tunes played on vajas !
Gurmit Kaur and Gurdev Singh are not ‘top artists’ but they are both committed Sikhs, they have got good training and listening to them you do not just enjoy the beautiful music and words, but also feel the commitment of the two kirtanis.
