Born in pre-partition Punjab, Bhai Pritam Singh Ji was very young when his parents were forced to abandon their home in 1947, and resettle on the Indian side of Punjab. Shortly after the partition, he lost his eyesight and was sent to learn Kirtan at the Central Khalsa Orphanage in Amritsar. Established in 1904, the orphanage has produced some of the finest Raagis of the 20th century, including Bhai Santa Singh Ji, Bhai Surjan Singh Ji and Prof. Darshan Singh Komal, among many others. At the time of Bhai Pritam Singh Ji’s admission, the music teacher in charge was Bhai Harnam Singh Jogi, who was also the mentor of Bhai Gurmej Singh Ji.<\/p>\n

Bhai Pritam Singh Ji formed a ‘jatha’ consisting of Bhai Gurmukh Singh Ji, who accompanied him on the side harmonium, and Bhai Satnam Singh Ji on tabla. Their first tour was to Gurdwara Panja Sahib in Hasan Abdal, Pakistan. This marked the beginning of a remarkable journey that would take them across continents, including multiple visits to Kenya, United Kingdom, United States of America and Canada.\u00a0 Tragically, during one of their tours in the United States, Bhai Gurmukh Singh Ji took his last breath and passed away. Meanwhile,\u00a0 Bhai Satnam Singh Ji made his decision to settle down in New York and forge his own path. Since 1976, Bhai Pritam Singh Ji has made Meerut his home and he continues to serve at Sri Guru Singh Sabha, Thapar Nagar.\u00a0<\/p>\n
