$Guru Nanak\u2019s Message of Peace through Music$

Immerse yourself in inspired spiritual music as we mark Guru Nanak’s 555th birth celebration, paying homage through kirtan, qawaali and bhajans performed together for the first time under one roof.
Guru Nanak (1469-1539) founded the Sikh dharam and provided a pathway to liberation by breaking down prejudices such as those based on caste, gender and religious practices. Guru Nanak was accompanied by Bhai Mardana, a prolific master musician and together they sang kirtan through their many interfaith travels. Three respected kirtanias Anantvir Singh, Gurinder Singh Batala and Amrita Kaur come together with vocal powerhouses Aruna Sairam and Zeeshan Ali.
We are honoured to present a keynote address by Bhai Sahib Bhai Mohinder Singh Ahluwalia OBE KSG, a global leader and humanitarian. As a recipient of the OBE and KSG, Bhai Sahib’s work in promoting harmony transcends cultural and religious boundaries. His speech will inspire leaders, change-makers, and individuals dedicated to creating a more just and peaceful world.
