Being the grandson of illustrious Bhai Jawala Singh ji and the son of highly celebrated Late Bhai Avtar Singh ji, former Huzoori Raagi of Gurdwara Sis Ganj Sahib of Old Delhi, Bhai Kultar Singh has several advantages as a “Gurbani Kirtania”. One of his predecessors had the privilege of serving in the Guru Darbar of the Tenth Master Sri Guru Guru Gobind Singh ji. Following the period of the great Gurus, Bhai Kultar Singh’s ancestors started living permanently in Village Saidpur near Sultanpur Lodhi in erstwhile Kapurthala state. In addition to the daily chores of performing Shabad Kirtan, the family was engaged in farming as a second profession.

According to Late Bhai Avtar Singh, his predecessors kept the ancient Gurmat Kirtan traditions of the Guru Darbars alive, in their pristine purity within the family. Bhai Avtar Singh – father of Bhai Kultar Singh ji – inherited 500 ancient tunes of Gurmat Sangeet from his father Bhai Jawala Singh. And Bhai Kultar, an engineer by profession, after switching to the rendition of Gurmat Sangeet recently, has learnt at least 400 tunes based on all 31 Ragaas included in “Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji”. 

In addition, Bhai Kultar Singh has excellent grasp of the meanings of the Shabads, and has the ability to explain them to the new generation very effectively in English. Bhai Kultar Singh’s knowledge of the English language has been serving as a livewire in the European, American and Canadian Sikh communities, especially among the youth. The newer generation is drawn to his Viakhya (explanation & interpretation) of the Guru’s word enshrined in the holy Sri Guru Granth Sahib.
