Bhai Mohinder Singh Sagar

Bhai Mohinder Singh Sagar was born in the historic town of Goindwal Sahib located in the Tarn Taran district of Punjab. Circumstances were such that his family was not very well to do at that time. They lived in a single room house situated directly opposite the well around which Bhai Jetha Ji (Guru Ramdas Ji) used to sell cooked beans to earn a living. Bhai Mohinder Singh Ji grew up playing in these historic streets. As a child, he was sent to Sant Baba Kirpal Singh Ji for ‘Gurbani Santhya’ and he spent 5 years learning from him. After completing his studies, he began his first service in Gurdwara Doaba Singh Sabha in Jalandhar as an assistant Granthi. He also developed an interest in Kirtan so he started learning from Sant Bahadur Singh Ji who was also based in Jalandhar. He performed Kirtan in Jalandhar for a few years with his own ‘jatha’ before being introduced to Prof. Darshan Singh Ji by a few friends. Prof. Darshan Singh Ji was looking for a ‘saathi’ at that time and was impressed by Bhai Mohinder Singh Ji so he initiated him into the ‘jatha’. He accompanied Prof. Darshan Singh Ji on the side harmonium and backing vocals from 1976 to 1983. During this time, their ‘jatha’ was at its peak and attracted ‘Sangat’ worldwide with their Kirtan. They toured abroad to many countries such as Singapore, UK and more.  Bhai Mohinder Singh Ji provided a very balanced accompaniment and his voice matched perfectly with that of Prof. Darshan Singh Ji.

In 1983, he formed his own ‘jatha’ with Bhai Dalip Singh Ji accompanying him on tabla. They served in Gurdwara Shaheedan in Model Town, Ludhiana for a few years and then in Gurdwara Kalgidhar Sahib, Ludhiana for approximately 6 months before receiving an invitation to Singapore for Kirtan. He made a tour to Singapore in 1986 and another to Malaysia in 1990. In 1992, he received an invitation to perform Kirtan in Fremont, California during Vaisakhi. Since then, he has settled permanently in the US and has brought his family over as well. He credits this to the blessings he received from Guru Amardas Ji and Guru Ramdas Ji in Goindwal Sahib. Currently, he resides in New York and performs Kirtan regularly in Gurdwara Baba Makhan Shah Lubhana and the Gurdwara at 118th Street, South Richmond Hill.
