Inni Kaur, SikhRI CEO, revealed Nad on June 24, 2016 after a delightful Kirtan by Manjit Singh, Balbir Singh and Mohanpal Singh at Gurdwara Mata Tripta ji (Hidden Falls), Plymouth, MI.

The purpose of Nad is to inspire and engage future generations through Gurmat Sangit, the singing and performing of Gurbani. As an integral part of Sikhi, this program offers diverse opportunities, from researching the core aspects of Gurmat Sangit to publishing research papers in leading journals. Anyone interested in learning more about Sikhi’s rich musical heritage can do so through informative presentations, workshops and online courses. For deeper learning, Nad will also offer immersive Gurmat Sangit camps. In addition, this program will provide opportunities to collaborate with leading musicians and organizations to leverage the existing Gurmat Sangit resources.

[GGS: 893]Kirtan is a priceless diamond. An ocean of bliss and virtue

SikhRI recognizes music as a universal language, and Gurmat Sangit provides a source of enlightenment that inspires unity amongst the global community. Learning Kirtan goes beyond the music, as it encourages a deeper appreciation and understanding of how and why Rag is fundamental to Gurmat Sangit.

SikhRI is presently fundraising and seeking donor support to recruit full time staff for Nad. The details of the program can be found on SikhRI website.
