to marci about Punjabi/Gurabani

February 15, 2009

Dear marci ~ I would be very interested to know about this also. I have not

heard of Gurabani, but it is interesting to me that the Shanti CD is promoted

as Sanskrit Chants. It seems to me, based on what I've heard, that Prem

Deval's songs are Sanskrit. And I have to Namo (bow to you) for tuning me into

these wonderful sacred songs. I know there are many dialects, just in India

alone, such as Amma's Malayalam.

Jai Ma

I have had questions about this also Linda. . .when i have ordered CD's of

Snatam Kaur, and

Satkirin Kaur Khalsa, and others and they would be categorized under

Gurabani chants, and i wondered if that was a sacred language?. . . but

did not know for sure for i thought the spoken language for Sikhs is

Punjabi. . . . Some of the Chants are based on poetry and sacred scriptures

written in Sanskrit such as Mangala Charan of Jaap Saihib. . . Many of the

chants that

Snatam Kaur sings on the Shanti CD are promoted as Sanskrit chants. Most

everything Snatam Kaur and the American Siks do are sacred scriptures set

to music. Maybe Keval can explain what Gurabani is???? . . . .Thanks. . .
