about

This shabd -- Dhan Dhan Raam Daas Gur -- reaches the realm of miracles. The impossible becomes possible. When life seems stuck, praise the domain of Guru Ram Das, the realm of the true Reality. It is the realm of the heart, of the Neutral Mind, where all things become pure. This particular melody is a very old, classical Indian melody sung in the scale of Raag Ramkali and played in rhythm of Chotee Teen Taal.

I heard this version of Dhan Dhan Raam Daas Gur on one of Bhai Avtar Singh Ragi's CDs. I loved it and often remembered it. When Shanti Kaur and I were in New Delhi in 2004 to study Raag Kirtan, I asked to learn this particular version. Bhai Kultar Singh taught it to us and thus began a journey of many years to learn to actually play it. Gurprakash Singh (tabla) and I worked on it over the course of 2 years to sync the singing with the tabla and get it 'right' enough to record it.

lyrics

Miracles - Dhan Dhan Raam Daas Gur - Guru Raam Daas Ji - SGGS Page 968

Dhan Dhan raamdaas gur jin siri-aa tinai savaari-aa.
Blessed, blessed is Guru Raam Daas; He who created You, has also exalted You.

Pooree ho-ee karaamaat aap sirjanhaarai dhaari-aa.

Perfect is Your miracle; the Creator Lord Himself has installed You on the throne.

Sikhee atai sangtee paarbrahm kar namaskaari-aa.

The Sikhs and all the Congregation recognize You as the Supreme Lord God, and bow down to You.

Atal athaaho atol too tayraa ant na paaraavaari-aa.

You are unchanging, unfathomable and immeasurable; You have no end or limitation.


Jinee too sayvi-aa bhaa-o kar say tudh paar utaari-aa.

Those who serve You with love - You carry them across.

Lab lobh kaam krodh moh maar kadhay tudh saparvaari-aa.

Greed, envy, sexual desire, anger and emotional attachment - You have beaten them and driven them out.

Dhan so tayraa thaan hai sach tayraa paiskaari-aa.
Blessed is Your place, and True is Your magnificent glory.

Naanak too lahnaa toohai gur amar too veechaari-aa.

You are Naanak, You are Angad, and You are Amar Daas; so do I recognize You.

Gur dithaa taa man saadhaari-aa. ||7||
When I saw the Guru, then my mind was comforted and consoled. ||7||
