'Even God was no match for Ranjha': Puranchand Wadali on Heer-Ranjha

I set out in search of Ranjha But I could not find him I found God, not Ranjha God’s not a patch on him (From the famous love legend of Punjab – Heer-Ranjha – put into verse by Waris Shah and quoted here by Puranchand Wadali) *** Find many other reflections on mystic poem and thought at http://ajabshahar.com/reflections/all Discover a universe of Bhakti, Sufi, Baul poetry and music at http://www.ajabshahar.org. *** In the year 2003, as part of our research into diverse traditions that revere the poetry of Kabir, we arrived in the city of Amritsar in Punjab. While a winter chill gave a nip to the air, we sat on the terrace of the renowned Sufi singer, Puranchand Wadali ji, who regaled us with evident delight with stories and poetry from the traditions of Sufis and other mystic poets. Ustad Puranchand Wadali is the elder of the two ‘Wadali brothers’, famous Sufi singers from Guru ki Wadali, a village in Punjab. They are the fifth generation of line of folk musicians. The poetry of Sufis such as Bulleh Shah, Amir Khusro and Baba Farid lie at the heart of their songs, which cut across geographies and platforms. For their contribution to music, they were awarded the Sangeet Natak Akademi Award (1992) and Tulsi Award (1998). Ustad Puranchand Wadali was awarded the Padma Shri in 2005. Puranchand Wadali did not want to be a singer. He was instead fascinated by wrestling, and would spend his days at the village akhara practising the sport for 25 years. Despite his reluctance, and because of a strict father who insisted on it, Puranchand found his way into music. He trained under Pandit Durga Das and Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan Saheb, and also picked up music from the renditions of the Kanjaris. He became a guru to his younger brother Pyarelal and ever since their first public performance in 1974, the two have always performed together.
