Raags of Gurbani is the largest Gurbani Kirtan competition in Canada, being held for the first time ever. The purpose of this event is to provide a prestigious platform for Canadian youth, empowering them to grow in Sikhi, build confidence, and showcase their talent. Additionally, this initiative aims to revive and globally promote the traditional Raag-based Gurbani Kirtan as established by Guru Sahib, preserving its rich musical and spiritual heritage.
These competitions are designed to encourage youth to connect deeply with Sikhi and to provide a respectful platform for them to express their love, hard work, and dedication to Gurbani Kirtan. The goal is to revive and highlight the traditional singing of Raags as given to us by Guru Sahib.
By no means should this platform be used to display ego or selfishness. Winning or losing is not the purpose – simply being part of this event is one of the greatest blessings and privileges.
Let us all approach this opportunity with humility, gratitude, and love – honoring the sacred tradition started by Guru Sahib and showing our respect for the divine culture of Raag-based Gurbani Kirtan.
