The statement said Taran Mehndi, singer, music composer and founder-CEO at DRecords, is a firm believer in the Divine power and has Gurbani instilled in her soul. “I chose the composition from a child’s perspective, Rababhad easily learnt the shabad in one go because of its tune and pattern. I used to bring to her consciousness, the way Guru Arjan Patshah authored the words, the rhyming of words was fascinating to her young mind and made the GURU closer, approachable like a friend” she said. “Seeing Rabab singing Gurbani gives me more happiness. I wish that Guru Nanak Maharaj showers blessings and love on both the singers and the listeners” Taran said. The music of the shabad has been arranged by Amarpreet Singh and Haider Ali.
