Bhai Narinder Singh Banaresi

Bhai Narinder Singh Ji is one of the few Hazoori Raagis of Harmandir Sahib, Amritsar who has preserved the tradition of Gurmat Sangeet while many others have switched to the lighter ‘filmi’ style of Kirtan. The following information regarding Bhai Sahib ji is taken from the Gurmat Sangeet Project website. Bhai Narinder Singh Ji hails from Hoshiarpur and he started his initial training with his father, Giani Puran Singh Ji. He also received training from Giani Darshan Singh Sohal who was the torch bearer of Giani Gian Singh Almast Ji’s legacy. He started performing Gurbani Kirtan since 1972 and has served Gurdwara Kalgidhar Ludhiana (1976-1982; 1988-1990), Banaras (1982-1988) and Gurdwara Dukh Nivaran Sahib Patiala (1990-1993) From 1993 onward he has been serving as Hazoori Raagi in Sri Harmandir Sahib, Amritsar. He has traveled extensively around the world to perform Kirtan. He has performed Kirtan in almost all the states in India and also been abroad to countries such as Canada, Dubai, Thailand, Kuwait and Malaysia. Bhai Sahib Ji adheres to the Gurmat Sangeet Maryada and sings Gurbani in the Raags as prescribed in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. He imparts his knowledge of Gurmat Sangeet to many students including his own children, Gurcharan Singh, Gobind Singh, Onkar Singh and Sarvjot Kaur. He also has the blessings of Sant Nika Singh Ji Nirmalay of Rishikesh under whom he learnt Shabad Bodh and also performed Kirtan.
