Ragas are the ancient musical scales whose sound waves have a profound effect on the human psyche and heart. They are often intertwined into Eastern Mythology. They offer a palette of color of the human emotion, and a stimulation, healing, and release for the spirit.
All music on this recording, with the exception of the 2nd track, is part of the sacred music of the Sikh religion known as Gurbani Kirtan. These hymn-poems are compositions of the Sikh gurus who wrote them in a state of divine ecstasy. "Kirtan" is the practice of call and response singing, so that the practitioner may both hear and recite these sounds, so as to take them into the body/being for the purpose to uplift.
RAG BASANT Rag Basant is traditionally sung or played when the spring season is beginning. The hymns or shabds in this musical scale describe the flowering of the meditative mind, and soul. Its note interval structure is unusual, compared to most Western music, and is an aural journey into new places.
- Aad Guray Nameh - this is a mantra of invocation to the Divine. Also sung for protection, and to commence events. (Sung in Rag Basant)
- Yogi - a devotional paean for Guru Ram Das, 4th Guru of the Sikhs, and Yogi Bhajan's own concept and standard of the spiritual frequency of a yogi.
- Dekh Phool - Repeating line says, "beholding the blooming of flowers, that the soul blooms, and abandons self-conceit."
- Basant Cheriah - Chorus means, "the spring has come, plants are flowering, and that all living things blossom forth when consciousness is focused on the Lord."
RAG SORATH Rag Sorath is to be sung between 9PM and midnight. Its soothing sound is said to help create mental composure and peace.This is a serene vibration with which to retire.
- Aap Sahay Hoa - Choral refrain says, "the Lord is my helper and support; that this support is true and real."
- Meray Prabh - repeating line means "O my God, please bless me with the water of your Name."
- Har Dason Sio Preet - means, "the Lord is the lover and friend of his slaves, and is controlled by the devotee, in the same way that an instrument is controlled by a musician."

About the Pran Sutra
This recording of the Pran (life force, in the breath) Sutra (sentence or statement of infinite wisdom) is a musically journey of passing from this earth, and was inspired by a lecture Yogi Bhajan gave, during Woman's Camp in the 1980's, on the process of how we die, and the journey a soul makes from this earthly plane to the next place, beyond life as we know it. He gave the practice of the Pran Sutra, as a tool to help us prepare for the moment when we take our last breath, and the steps we will walk on the journey to our eternal home.
About the Narayan Shabad
Narayan is one of the many different names for the Divine. It relates to the quality of water. As a plant needs water for its flowers to blossom, in the same way chanting Narayan nurtures the Divine Identity within you so that your soul can bloom into its full beauty and grace. Narayan is the quality that restores.

Jaap Saahib, a prayer with a beat, was recorded with the concept that this powerful prayer, which Guru Gobind Singh composed for courage and strength, would lend itself nicely to a rock music style. With a little experimenting, Antion Vikram Singh and his producer Liv Singh came up with this high energy composition. Then Sat-Kartar was asked to sing as well, adding the final touch to this classic recording. The original analog album has been mastered to digital with all the original live recorded sounds.
