18. Var Sat

The Great Guru composed 22 vaars (ballad). Some of these ballads were about brave warriors and were already sung as folk tunes which people loved to listen to them. Guru Ji coded Gurbani so that it could be sung along 9 such folk ballad melodies of the time. The Raagi Singh's (singers who sing religious verses in the Sikh Temples) were inspired then to do kirtan in these musical tunes.
