Bhai Bhupinder Singh Paras belongs to the Rababi tradition of music. He was born into the household of Bhai Darbara Singh Ji and Mata Kuldeep Kaur Ji in May 1950. Bhai Darbara Singh Ji was a renowned Kirtani of his time and used to perform Kirtan Sewa in Gurdwara Janam Asthan Sri Nankana Sahib along with his brother, Bhai Gulzar Singh Rangila.<\/p>\n
Being brought up in such a family, it was natural for Bhai Bhupinder Singh Paras to be inspired by his elders. He took his initial training from his maternal grandfather, Bhai Jagat Singh Ji. Subsequently, he went on to learn from his maternal uncle, Bhai Pal Singh Ji of Jasa-Pala fame. His third teacher was Bhai Partap Singh Ji of Delhi, from whom he picked up many old compositions of Bhai Taaba Ji and Bhai Chand Ji. He also received ‘taleem’ from his paternal uncle, Bhai Gulzar Singh Rangila. Having the urge to learn other forms of Sangeet as well, Paras Ji went to Pakistan and became a student of ghazal maestro, Ustad Mehdi Hassan. This was around the same time that Parvez Mehdi Ji was learning from Mehdi Hassan Ji as well. Finally, Paras Ji came under the guidance of the king of ghazals, Ustad Ghulam Ali Khan in Lahore, Pakistan.<\/p>\n
Having learned from various established figures in Sangeet, Paras Ji began his career in 1972 by serving as Hazoori Raagi in Takhat Sri Patna Sahib, Bihar. Later on, he also served as a Hazoori Raagi in Model Town, Delhi for some time. Paras Ji also received Gurbani Santhya from the Taksal of Sant Baba Kartar Singh Bhindra Wale. An interesting fact to note, one time Paras Ji was in a studio in Bombay when renowned playback singer, Mohd Rafi heard him sing. He was very impressed by Paras Ji and suggested that he should stay in Bombay and sing in films. Paras Ji replied that he only sings for Baba Nanak Ji.<\/p>\n
His dedication to the teachings of Gurbani has led him to various parts of the world and finally to the United States of America, where he lives now with his family in Houston, Texas. The information above was obtained from the book ‘Gurmat Sangeet De Anmol Rattan’ which was written by the late Bhai Nirmal Singh Khalsa.
