Heal through sacred sounds from Sikh Music by pouring into your heart and sending out this higher consciousness and energy to the world around us.
Dukh Bhanjan is our annual event where each year we collectively join to meditate on a mantra from the Sikh scripture throughout the night sung in different raags, moods, to evoke and send out positive healing, peace and love back into our bodies and the world.

Why Dukh Bhanjan?
Strengthen healing, oneness and peace into your mind and body at this all-night 'Vaheguru' mantr meditation event.
Due to our busy routines, stresses and everyday challenges, we tend to forget about our precious higher connection; we lose ourselves and get stuck in our worries, hardships and sufferings.
That's why Dukh Bhanjan is designed to guide you to break through this vicious cycle by allowing you to take a deep breath, to centre and ground yourself in a meditative safe place, so you can let go of old patterns and release the weight of tension that your shoulders carry.
Each year, we come together to recharge so we can return to our daily lives and duties with confidence, clarity and joy.
Through this global meditation, we hope to create collective healing - sending positivity, peace, and love back into the world.
Healing therapeutic sounds
We sing the sacred mantra 'Vaheguru' in deep focus and meditation to reprogram the vibrations of your body, mind and soul, creating a profound healing response using sacred Sikh raag sounds and Sikh string instruments.
Each of our sacred sounds is specifically composed using the ancient framework from Sikh Music to bridge a specific emotional connection and conversation between the mind, body and soul. Amazing right!? As the leading charity and global institute for healing through Sikh Music, it's our vision to see individuals equipped with tangible tools to overcome emotional and mental challenges and struggles easily.
Learn how raag Kirtan can improve your well-being with our mini-experience.
Allow yourselves to feel these sacred sounds resonating throughout you and the atmosphere to leave a ripple effect for days to come.
FREE and open to all, we look forward to seeing you one of our events.
A Tree Event
Although it may seem like a free event, but Dukh Bhanjan is our tree event.
We invite everyone who attends to give back to Mother Nature by planting a tree in gratitude.
We’re dedicated to planting trees as our way of continuously giving back for the seasoned wood made for string instruments.
Tree Planting
Show your appreciation for Mother Nature and tag us in your photo. If you have a tree event in your city, please feel free to share it with us, to pass on to our students and network, and if feasible we would love to be part of it!

"Have been listening to your collection of Raag-based shabad for all these years. It gives my mind the ultimate solace. Never been hooked better than this. God has shown through you the correct way of singing shabads well forgotten by the Sikh religion. This is Meditative bliss. You are blessed to sing Raag Adharit shabad by the Gurus. I must say you are very well forwarding the invaluable Sewa through Raj conservative project in Europe."
