This introductory post is intended to provide a basic understanding of the Gurbani Sangeet Parampara for true beginners. In contemporary times, there has been a tendency to label the use of string instruments or the exclusive use of standardized raags, influenced by Hindustani Sangeet, as the "Puratan Tradition." However, this classification can be misleading.

The following three documentaries are recommended for both newcomers and current students of Gurbani Sangeet, as they offer valuable insights to build a strong foundational understanding.

I. Sikh Kīrtana Maryādā atē Paramparā and Sacred Music of the Sikhs can be found in video "YaarAnād Virtual Baiṭhak Series Mēlā S1: E100" on Bhai Baldeep Singh's YouTube Channel.
