The universal message of music has the ability to "touch" everyone and so transposes the written words of the Shabad to a psychological level; differing sounds have direct effects on the mind, body and soul. Through the use of Raags these effects have been harnessed to explain and enhance the message of Siri Guru Granth Sahib . In order for the message of the Sahabad to remain as the Guru intended, each Shabad has been prescribed a specific Raag.This is the first time in 500 years that such a project has been completed, furthermore it encompasses a variety of music styles and dialects throughout India, to reflect the location and mood of the shabads when they were originally composed by the Sikh Gurus.
Sikh Musical Heritage made its debut in April 2001 with the launch of this record breaking 8-CD set of original compositions of 59 classical ragas as defined in the Guru Granth Sahib, together with a detailed book introducing Sikh musicology and providing important information to the Raags.
The CD set comes complete with a specially prepared book, with details of each of the ragas and translations of the compositions.
The 8 cd set is divided into 4 sets of 2 cds each. Details about CDs are below.
