All Sikh Gurus laid utmost
emphasis on the

pronunciation of the
Gurbani.
Numerous examples of
Guru
Sahibs rewarding the
Sikhs for
reciting Gurbani are
well known. Sri Satguru Jagjit Singh Ji
lays special
emphasis on the
correct pronunciation
and in
understanding the
meaning of
Gurbani.
Sri Satguru Ji
is keeping the
Sikh traditions alive
and provides
many resources to
maintain and
fulfill the mission of
Guru Nanak
Dev Ji and that of
successive Sikh
Gurus. His Holiness
gives utmost
attention to Gurmat
Sangeet,
Gurbani recitation and
Sikh
Maryada.
His Holiness has assigned the duty of complete recording of Gurbani to Master Darshan Singh. (Master Darshan Singh, who with the blessings of Sri Satguru Ji, is a most learned scholar of Gurbani.) Master Ji, with the blessings of His Holiness, has the capacity of reciting Shudh Gurbani and he knows where to give correct pauses and the right emphasis during recitation of Gurbani. Along with Sant Kirpal Singh Chana of Southall UK, Master Darshan Singh endeavored to accomplish the task of recording the entire work of Sri Adi Guru Granth Sahib, while observing full the tradition of Sikh marayada and reverence.
This mega effort has produced a final version of Sri Adi
Granth Sahib,
which lasts 55
hours and 24 minutes.

editing,
dubbing and mastering.
The final product is
now encompassed in 5
MP3 CDs, of all 1430 pages of Sri Adi Granth
Sahib Ji.
An additional endeavor has been done to record the Namdhari Nitnem as well. This single CD contains the various Bani's that a Namdhari Sikh recites from the Namdhari Nitnem. The project was finally blessed by His Holiness Sri Satguru Jagjit Singh Ji on 14 October 2008 at Asu Mela , in Sri Bhaini Sahib.
