🎵 New Shabad — "Raja Ji Da Dar" (Preview)
Sukh Devpuri sang these lines live on the podcast. The full song is coming very soon!
ਸਾਡਿਆਂ ਨਸੀਬਾਂ ਵਾਲੀ ਤੇਰੇ ਹੱਥ ਡੋਰੇ
ਅਸੀਂ ਬਣ ਗਏ ਆਂ ਤੇਰੇ, ਤੂੰ ਕਿਹੜਾ ਹੋਰ ਐ
ਕੱਲੇ ਛੱਡ ਨਾ ਤੂੰ ਜਾਵੀਂ
ਛੱਡ ਨਾ ਤੂੰ ਜਾਵੀਂ, ਪੱਲੇ ਪਾ ਨਾ ਜਾਵੀਂ ਰੋਣਾ ਏ
ਰਾਜਾ ਜੀ ਦਾ ਦਰ ਸਾਰੀ ਦੁਨੀਆ ਤੋਂ ਸੋਹਣਾ ਏ
ਹੋ ਪਿੰਡ ਕਾਕਰੋਂ ਵਾਲੇ ਨੂੰ ਇੱਕ ਤੇਰਾ ਹੀ ਸਹਾਰਾ ਏ
ਬੜਾ ਔਖਾ ਜ਼ਿੰਦਗੀ ਦਾ ਲੱਭੇ ਨਾ ਕਿਨਾਰਾ ਏ
ਕੱਚਾ ਪੱਕਾ ਜ਼ਿੰਦਗੀ ਦਾ ਭਾਂਡਾ ਧੋਣਾ ਪੈਣਾ ਏ
ਰਾਜਾ ਜੀ ਦਾ ਦਰ ਸਾਰੀ ਦੁਨੀਆ ਤੋਂ ਸੋਹਣਾ ਏ 🙏
Written by Sardar Bahadur Singh, Kakron
🎤 The Viral Shabad — Original "Raja Ji" (10M+ Views)
Sukh Devpuri also sang the original shabad live on the podcast. This is the one that set his ringtone in lakhs of homes across Punjab and abroad.
ਬਾਕੀ ਦਿਸੇ ਹੁਣ ਮੋਰ ਕੋਈ ਨਾ
ਮੈਂ ਸਾਰਾ ਜੱਗ ਢੂੰਢਦੇ ਦੇਖਿਆ
ਕਿ ਤੇਰੇ ਦਰ ਜਿਹਾ ਹੋਰ ਕੋਈ ਨਾ
ਅਸੀਂ ਆਏ ਹਾਂ ਤੇਰੇ ਦੁਆਰ ਰਾਜਾ ਜੀ
ਸਾਡੇ ਕਰਦਿਓ ਬੇੜੇ ਪਾਰ ਰਾਜਾ ਜੀ
ਦਰ ਤੇਰੇ ਤੇ ਆਣ ਕੇ ਜਿਹਨੇ ਕੀਤੀ ਦਿਲੋਂ ਪਰਦੱਖਣਾ ਏ
ਮੂੰਹੋਂ ਮੰਗੀਆਂ ਮੁਰਾਦਾਂ ਮਿਲਦੀਆਂ, ਕੋਈ ਗਿਆ ਨਾ ਤੇਰੇ ਦਰੋਂ ਸੱਖਣਾ
ਏ
ਸਾਡੇ ਉੱਤੇ ਵੀ ਕਰਮ ਕਮਾ ਦਿਓ
ਸਾਨੂੰ ਜੋੜ ਲਿਓ ਚਰਨਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਰਾਜਾ ਜੀ 🙏
📖 Sukh Devpuri's Spiritual Journey
From short hair to dastar — Waheguru's hand in every step.
Embraced Sikhi Saroop
Sukhchain began his journey on the Sikh path. Before this, he had short hair and less beard — a different chapter of life.
Formed His Jatha
A friend called him knowing his powerful voice. They formed a Jatha together and began performing at Nagar Keertans and Darbars.
Raja Sahib Shabad Released in July
The viral shabad "Asi Aaye Haan Tere Duar Raja Ji" was released. It crossed 10 million views on YouTube alone, with millions more on reels and Facebook.
A Quiet Step Back
Fame brought its own tests. Sukh stepped away from the limelight, changed his number, and moved into quiet domestic life — "sarkal chhota kar liya."
Maharaj's Hukam — He's Back!
By Waheguru's grace, Sardar Bahadur Singh of Kakron honoured him with the new shabad "Raja Ji Da Dar" — and Sukh Devpuri is back stronger than ever, with a dastar and full beard.
💬 Big Topics Discussed in This Episode
Phones, Youth & Punjab's Future
Children given phones young cannot grow mentally. Sukh Devpuri passionately supports banning phones in schools and teaching Gatka — Sikhs' own martial art — to youth instead of gym selfies.
Gatka — The Forgotten Martial Art
Sikh warriors were fearless because they practiced Gatka and lived in the wild. Today's youth spending on gym powders and selfies should learn Gatka instead — especially for women's safety.
Punjab's History & Divided Land
From Maharaja Ranjit Singh's Punjab (1.4 lakh sq miles, stretching to Tibet & Rajasthan) to today's divided state — deep conversation on how Himachal and Haryana were cut away in 1966.
Keeping Your Inner Circle Small
"Jado teri charhai si, dost bahut si. Jado pichhe hatiyan, koi nahi." — Sukh's hard-won wisdom: trust few, count on fingers, and never trust those who show one face in front and another behind.
Deep Singh Sidhu & Punjab Voices
A thoughtful conversation on how Sidhu Moosewala, Deep Sidhu and others — who seemed far from Punjab's issues — suddenly stood up for the land. Waheguru uses unexpected instruments.
Punjab's Shrinking Green Cover
Trees are being cut for roads, kheti is gone, buildings 70 feet deep break the water table. "Pehlan ik barf wali thandi hundi si, huni itni garmi kyun?" — connecting deforestation to climate change the desi way.
🙏 Sukh Devpuri's Message for Everyone
"ਸਰੀਰ ਤੋਂ ਹੋ ਜਾਂਗੇ ਬੇਮੁੱਖ — ਮਨ ਤੋਂ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੋ ਸਕਦੇ।"
You may drift outwardly, but what Maharaj has placed in your soul cannot be taken away.
🎙️ Sukh's Advice for Aspiring Singers
YouTube is Your Ustad Now
Search any raag, any style — it's all there. Today's young singers learn faster than ever because of technology. Use it wisely.
But a Real Ustad is Still Irreplaceable
"Ustad di bhanda hundi hai ek kiSam di." A real teacher gives you something algorithms cannot — heart, timing, and the subtleties of raag that only come through human transmission.
Erase Negativity. Think "I Can."
"Negativity kabhi nahi likhya mere ton — yeh kaam nahi hona." Never say "I can't." Even if you fail the first time, try again. Only those who try can fail — and only those who fail can learn to succeed.
Stay Connected to Your Public — Always
"Sangat ch pangat." If someone calls or messages, reply. Your audience's love is your real strength — not industry connections or stars. The moment you become arrogant, you lose everything.
