Asa Di Var beautifully recited in English by S.S. Shanti Shanti Kaur Khalsa, with musical accompaniment. Guru Nanak(the 1st Sikh Guru) wrote Asa Di Var in its original form to give a deep understanding of the relationship of the soul with the Infinite. He speaks out courageously against superstition, social injustice and corruption, giving us this tool to align out consciousness with truth to be able to stand up to the corruption we face daily.
