Thanks! > > Sat Prem > That is beautiful indeed! Her " Ardas " of the crimson series was highly inspirational for me when I first came across it. I had not listened to this one until today. Thank You! I found the lyrics for " Mender of Hearts " at http://blog.360./blog-l16yy60ieqhTMgviWNrHwYwVdVE9Fw--? cq=1 & p=229 Waahay Guroo Waahay Guroo Waahay Guroo Waahay Jeeo You are the mender, the mender of of hearts. You are the sustainer of all. You are the mender of the wounds of life. You are the sustainer of all. In your heart You care for everyone. Within all hearts, in everyone. In Your heart You care for everyone. Within all hearts, within all hearts You're there. O my mind, meditate forever on the Holy One. You are the mender of the wounds of life. You are the sustainer of all. So remember Him who alone will carry you, Who alone will carry you to your destination. Meditate forever on the One. O my mind, meditate forever on the One. ======== Mender of Hearts by Singh Kaur. (For Love) This love song to the Infinite, the mender of hearts, has the ability to heal the heart and re-awaken your joy and enthusiasm for life. This is a love song in the purest sense: a love song to the infinite within each of us and the infinite that unites us all, the one who is " the mender of all hearts, the mender of the wounds of life...the sustainer of all. " Mender of Hearts lyrics: some verses from the " Peace Lagoon " translation of the Sikh scriptures (Adi Granth, Guru Granth Sahib) adapted for the Mender of Hearts album: " The Crimson Collection, Volume 5, " Singh Kaur and Kim Robertson ====== Wahe Guru!

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Sat Nam Sat Prem, I have the original (cassette) recording of " Mender of Hearts " aka Wahe Guru Jio, which my husband Amar Singh and I recorded with Singh Kaur in 1985 in St. Louis. I just dug it out and got the lyrics for you. I don't have the Crimson version, which she recorded with Kim Robertson on harp, but I believe she changed it to " You are the mender " instead of " the Lord is the mender. " On the original recording, we played piano and viola instrumentals. Also on the tape version, Singh Kaur interwove the shabd " Nam Ki Vadaee Daiee Guru Ram Das Ko " into the song. The other side of the tape has no English on it, only the mantra Wahe Guru Jio. This tape version has not been remastered yet, nor has the Aap Sahee Hoa/Remember Him tape - both extremely worthy of being preserved. Seva Singh has been working on remastering these older recordings of Singh Kaur and has made CDs of Peace Lagoon, Peace Lagoon II and Rakhe Rakhenhar so far. The REMASTERED CD of Rakhe Rakhenhar was released recently by Spirit Voyage. This is the only authorized version. The one being sold by Ancient Healing Ways is NOT authorized and not remastered, so please buy it only from Spirit Voyage. Seva Singh has done an incredible job at preserving this priceless music. Below are the words from the cassette version for Mender of Hearts. Wahe Guru Wahe Guru Wahe Guru Wahe Jio. Oh my mind Meditate forever on the Lord. The Lord is the mender of the wounds of life. He is the sustainer of all. In his heart he cares for everyone. Within all hearts he’s there in everyone. In his heart he cares for everyone. Within all hearts he’s there, within all hearts he’s there. Oh my mind Meditate forever on the Lord. Wahe Guru Wahe Guru Wahe Guru Wahe Jio. Nam ki vadaee daiee Guru Ram Das ko … (entire shabd) Oh my mind Meditate forever on the Lord. The Lord is the mender of the wounds of life. He is the sustainer of all. So remember Him who alone will carry you, Who alone will carry you to your destination. Oh my mind Meditate forever on the Lord. Wahe Guru Wahe Guru Wahe Guru Wahe Jio. Humbly yours, Sahib-Amar Kaur Sat nam, If anyone has the lyrics to Singh Kaur's Mender of Hearts (on the Crimson series), can you please post it? Thanks!

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Sat Nam Sat Prem! How wonderful to hear from someone that recorded with Singh Kaur! Thank you so much for sharing with us about this! I am not familiar, at least not by name, with the shabd " Nam Ki Vadaee Daiee Guru Ram Das Ko " so I am excited now to go find it and study it. My dear compatriot and study partner Gobind Kaur lived in St Louis and began her Sikh life there as a result of shopping at the Sikh run health food store in which tapes of Singh Kaur were often (always?) being played. That may have been before Singh Kaur was recording commercially. The music really got to her in a profound way (just as the chanting of Snatam Kaur had brought me to sikhism); and she began talking to the sikhs in the store. They invited her to visit the Ashram for a weekend. She went and never left. I mention this because I thought you may have known her. I think Gobind Kaur's experiences there began in the late 70s.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Sat Nam, Nam Hari, I think you got our names mixed up. I was the one that answered Sat Prem's e-mail. Anyway, my husband Amar Singh & I lived in St. Louis for six years in the early '80s (1981-1987) and we both played music and did a lot of recording with Singh Kaur. And for a time, we worked in the health food store you mentioned, which still survives in St. Louis, in a different location. Singh Kaur made a number of tapes - in fact everything back then was tape - apart from her work with Invincible on the Crimson series. Another one I forgot to mention was " Joyful Vision " which has some extremely beautiful songs on it. I hope this will also be reissued as a CD.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Sat Nam; Yes Sahib-Amar Kaur I did get your name crossed with Sat Prem - but only the names. I spoke with Gobind Kaur about all this Thursday - and had a printout of what you wrote so I had your name right and she remembers you. She said you were here around the time of Snatam Kaur's engagement party - which would have been August 2006. She said you were in Eugene in relation to your son moving here or away. She saw you and recognized you but was not able to connect with you at that time. Gobind Kaur sends a hello and her blessings. She was tickled to hear news about you; and very happy to hear that you had posted to the group (even though about Mender of Hearts rather the " I would make myself a slave " ) - and she was happy to hear all the information being shared here about these various Guru Ram Das writings and the Singh Kaur songs made from them. She and I spend one afternoon a week sharing what has been inspiring and uplifting for us - especially such inspirations emerging from lines of Gurbani. I looked up and found the shabad you mentioned that Singh Kaur had embedded in the middle of " Mender of Hearts. " Appears to be about when Guru Ram Das first was given the supreme Blessing of the Naam. Very lovely. I hope to hear it chanted sometime. Only older style printouts of that shabad were in the main cabinet so I suspect it is not chanted here on Sundays very often. Thank you for sharing your information with us!

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Sat Nam, I bet some of the " old-timers " in Eugene will know that shabd. Ask them to sing it for you. We remember Gobind Kaur from long ago in St. Louis too so please send her our love. Our son Ram Dass lived in Eugene and went to the University for a year. He is now touring with Snatam as a member of her band (clarinet, keyboard and vocals). Their new live recording just came out on Spirit Voyage. On the topic of Singh Kaur's music, here's another recommendation - her last two CDs are not to be missed: Fairy Night Songs and This Universe, both available from Spirit Voyage or Sequoia Records (located in Ashland, OR). This Universe has a long version of Aad Guray Nameh (originally heard on Peace Lagoon). Amar Atma asked me if we had our own CDs for sale. The answer is no. But we are on some old Khalsa String Band recordings as well as many of Singh Kaur's non-Crimson recordings.
