40 Shabads of Bhagat Ravidas Ji

On the occasion of the 650th Birth Anniversary of Bhagat Ravidas Ji, Anāhad Arts proposes a special Gurbani preservation project to record all 40 Shabads of Bhagat Ravidas Ji included in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

Our vision is to present all 40 Shabads through traditional Gurmat Sangeet, following their prescribed Raags and incorporating traditional instruments such as Rabab, Dilruba, Sarangi, Tanpura, Harmonium and Tabla/Jori.

This initiative aims to preserve the spiritual, musical and historical significance of Bhagat Ravidas Ji's Bani and create a permanent digital collection for future generations.

Project Objectives

• Professionally record all 40 Shabads of Bhagat Ravidas Ji.

• Preserve traditional Raag-based Gurmat Sangeet.

• Feature experienced Ragis and traditional instrumental musicians.

• Produce high-quality audio recordings.

• Create educational lyric and meaning videos for all 40 Shabads.

• Publish the complete collection on YouTube and other digital platforms.

• Make all recordings freely accessible to the global Sangat.

• Inspire younger generations to learn and appreciate Gurbani and traditional music.

Project Implementation – Two Funding Milestones=

Phase 1: Initial Project – $10,000

Our project will begin once we reach the initial fundraising milestone of $10,000.

With this initial funding, we will:

• Begin Gurbani research and musical preparation.

• Engage Ragis and instrumental musicians.

• Begin recording selected Shabads in their prescribed Raags.

• Start studio recording and initial audio production.

• Establish the foundation for the complete 40-Shabad collection.

This first milestone will allow us to begin the project and demonstrate meaningful progress while continuing fundraising for its completion.

Phase 2: Complete Project – $30,000

Once the total fundraising goal of $30,000 is achieved, we will complete the entire project.

This will include:

• Recording all 40 Shabads.

• Complete musical presentations with traditional instruments.

• Professional audio editing, mixing and mastering.

• Creating 40 educational videos featuring Shabad lyrics and meanings.

• Digital publishing and social media distribution.

• Organizing the complete collection for free worldwide access.

Our ultimate goal is to complete and dedicate the entire collection to the global Sangat.
