15 min · English subtitlesYou may have been told that Kavi Santokh Singh Ji wrote against Raagmala in Gurpartap Suraj Granth, or that many puratan saroops of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji exist today without Raagmala. Giani Harbhajan Singh Ji Dhudhikey sheds light on these myths and how they came about. Fifteen minutes, with English subtitles.
Giani Harbhajan Singh Ji Dhudhikey's full vichar on Sri Raagmala is in the two videos below, in Punjabi. The subtitled clip on this page is a fifteen-minute extract prepared by Sikhism in Snippits, with English subtitles, and is the quickest way in if you don't follow Punjabi katha easily.
