Bhai Kirpal Singh Ji formerly served as Hazoori Raagi in Sri Harmandir Sahib, Amritsar for approximately 40 years in total. He was born on 8th September 1953 to Mata Karanjit Kaur Ji and Sardar Parudham Singh Ji in Amritsar. His family had a strong affinity towards Kirtan and this ignited his interest in Kirtan from a young age.<\/p>\n

He started learning Kirtan in 1967 from Baba Santokh Singh Ji at Gurdwara Dukh Nivaran Sahib, Patiala. Around the same period, well-known Kirtani of his time, Bhai Bakhshish Singh Ji performed Kirtan regularly at Gurdwara Dukh Nivaran Sahib. This provided a window of opportunity for Bhai Kirpal Singh Ji to learn Kirtan from Bhai Bakshish Singh Ji. Between 1970 to 1971, he also received guidance from Ustad Partap Chand Ji from Chandigarh.<\/p>\n

His first opportunity to serve at Sri Harmandir Sahib, Amritsar came in 1971 when he was appointed as a replacement for any Raagi who was away on leave. During this time, opportunity came knocking again when he met Giani Balwant Singh Ji (Calcutta Wale), a student of the legendary Rababi of Amritsar, Bhai Chand Ji. He learned Kirtan from Giani Balwant Singh Ji from 1971 to 1972. Bhai Kirpal Singh Ji also completed his Bachelor of Arts degree from University of Allahabad and also completed courses related to vocal music from Prachin Kala Kendra, Chandigarh.<\/p>\n

Bhai Kirpal Singh Ji received a full-time offer at Sri Harmandir Sahib as an assistant to Bhai Gurmej Singh Ji, whom he accompanied from 1973 to 1977. In the last quarter of 1977, he joined Bhai Bakshish Singh Ji\u2019s \u2018jatha\u2019 and accompanied him as an assistant ‘Raagi’ for about one year. Bhai Kirpal Singh Ji formed his own ‘jatha’ in 1978 with the recommendation of Bhai Bakshish Singh Ji, and began serving at Gurdwara Shaheed Ganj Sahib Baba Deep Singh Ji, Amritsar. In 1983, he moved to Sri Harmandir Sahib with his own \u2018jatha\u2019 and served as Hazoori Raagi until 2013. He has retired from his service since 2013, but still does Kirtan at Sri Harmandir Sahib regularly and apart from that, he also travels within India and abroad for various Kirtan programs.<\/p>\n
