A Sangeet is a dance festivity that takes place in South Asian weddings; however, the traditions are different based on regions. During this mock sangeet, we will be showing and educating people on how different cultures celebrate the festivity in these different regions. This will be done through different dance performances; including Kathak, Bollywood, Bharatanatyam and Pakistani styles. Along with these dances, there will be different musical performances ranging from Punjabi, Hindi, and fusion. Overall, South Asian American Student Association wants to hold this Sangeet to portray unity and love by educating people on the different Sangeet festivities in South Asian culture.

The Gurmat Sangeet Project website has been getting scant attention of late becuase of my involvement with Kultar's Mime. On Thanksgiving Day, November 27, 2014, I am delighted to offer the Sangat a magnificent Asa Di Var by Bhai Sahib Didar Singh Ji.
This Asa Di Var reciording is the first of a large collection that was graciously provided to me by S. Harjap Singh Aujla during a recent visit to the Bridgewater, NJ Gurdwara Sahib to invite the Sangat to the NJ performance of Kultar's Mime!

Last week the world of Gurmat Sangeet suffered an irreparable loss with the passing of Gyani Dyal Singh Ji, who served as the Principal of the Rakab Ganj Gurmat Vidyalay in Delhi for forty five long years. This is a short, personal tribute to a figure who willingly embraced poverty, hardship and anonymity serving the Panth with unselfishness and passion, touching the lives of many and playing a huge role on the documentation and preservation of a centuries old musical tradition.
Not every talented aspiring young Kirtaniya can afford to acquire a good Taus, Dilruba, Rabab, Jori or Tanpura. If you have any of the following instuments just sitting around, donate them to the Gurmat Sangeet Project; we will loan them to deserving Kirtnaiye, until they have the ability to buy their own, at which point the instrument will be passed on to another Kirtaniya. We are seeking the following instruments :
