<div><font face="Tahoma"><font size="2">What is Great about Nagar Kirtan?
Comes Vaisakhi and it brings a season of Nagar Kirtan around the world. To me it sounds like a mass congregation with no spiritual significance. It is mere a funfair. People come to socialize; enjoy assortment of free food and beverages. There are no preaching values during the procession. Notwithstanding the magnitude of gathering at Nagar Kirtan year over year, we fail to increase awareness of true Sikh values around the world resulting in many un-resolved issues. On-going fears of 911 hate crime in North America as an example.
Singing divine hymns from the Sri Guru Granth Sahib requires devotion and dedication. Gurbani informs that association with God is not a matter of accident. In order to attain ultimate stage (sahaj avastha) one has to follow through an arduous process of spiritual practices or discipline and progress stage by stage.
In Sri Guru Granth Sahib, there are over 5,800 shabads and for a Sikh each one is divine order (Hukam).
