About Amrit Kailey
My name is Amrit Kaur Kailey. I am from Toronto, Canada, and about to enter my first year of university. My love for sangeet started at the age of 9, and I have carried out my passion for raag kirtan for many years. My goal is to encourage the younger generation to be more in touch with Sikhi and the depth of Naam. I cannot wait to be a part of the GSRI community officially!
About my project
The Circumstantial Influence on Given Raags in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
In this paper Shree Raag, all six Dakhni raags, including Raag Gauri Dakhni, Raag Vadhans Dakhni, Raag Bilaval Dakhni, Raag Ramkali Dakhni, Raag Maru Dakhni, and Raag Prabhati Dakhni are discussed along with Raag Asa. The technical perspective of each raag is studied along with specific baani associated with each. The emotion elicited by each of the raags is also discussed further to highlight the depth and the intent behind the baani. The circumstantial influences of the time in which contributors to the raags wrote baani are examined to understand each raag further thoroughly.
