I am participating in an event organized by Oneness USA at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center on Nov 23. The organizers requested me to sing Satgur Nanak Pargateya for a portion of the program, so I made a composition yesterday and recorded it. Bhai Gurdas' love for Guru Nanak shines through this one.


Sathguru Nanak pargateya miti dund jag chanan hoya 

With the emergence of the true Guru Nanak, the mist cleared and the light scattered all around. 

Jiou(n) kar sooraj nikaliaa thaarae shhapae a(n)dhhaer paloaa

As if at the sun rise the stars disappeared and the darkness dispelled. 

Si(n)gh bukae miragaavalee bha(n)nee jaaeae n dhheer dhharoaa

With the roar of the lion in the forest the flocks of escaping deer now cannot have endurance. 

Jithhai baabaa pair dhharai poojaa aasan thhaapan soaa

Wherever Baba put his feet, a religious place was erected and established. 

Sidhh aasan sabh jagath dhae naanak aadh mathae jae koaa

All the siddh-places now have been renamed on the name of Nanak. 

Ghar ghar a(n)dhar dhharamasaal hovai keerathan sadhaa visoaa

Everyhome has become a place of dharma where singing. 

Baabae thaarae chaar chak na kha(n)dd prithhamee sachaa dtoaa

Baba liberated all four directions and nine divisions of earth. 

Guramukh kal vich paragatt hoaa 

Gurmukh (Guru Nanak) has emerged in this kaliyug, the dark age.
