New Anand Sahib CD Celebrates “Bani of Bliss”
A recently-released two-CD musical version (English and Gurmukhi) of the Anand Sahib of Guru Amar Das Ji has been lovingly produced by SS Mata Mandir Singh Khalsa and SS Sat Ganesha Singh Khalsa. According to the CD liner notes:
“As with any great work…the Anand Sahib by Guru Amar Das…stands on its own. The experience of your one-to-one reading, reciting, [and] listening is something that no one can take away. As the Siri Singh Sahib said: ‘The only thing that cannot let you fall apart is your own inner experience. It won’t let you fall apart.’ (April 14, 1987)
“The start for this project was about 2009 when we re-discovered the poem about the Anand Sahib (p. 235) by the Siri Singh Sahib in the Furmaan Khalsa-Poems to Live By….We committed to bringing a musical version of the complete 40 pauris of Guru Amar Das’s Anand Sahib. Our lives have been totally enriched by the experience. In these overwhelming and fast-paced times, if others’ lives are touched and inspired by the effect of Anand Sahib (Song of Bliss), we are grateful.”—SS Mata Mandir Singh Khalsa and SS Sat Ganesha Singh Khalsa
In his poem in Furmaan Khalsa, the Siri Singh Sahib says: “The one who reads the Complete Anand/Gains all the glory of a Man of God/So sing the Complete Anand, my friend!/For this is the Way of Divine Light.” This new musical production is a loving tribute to the bani of the Third Guru. It is a blessing for all seekers to be able to enjoy this beautiful new musical version devotedly created by two Sikh Dharma Ministers.
