not all of the attributes are known.. i have tried to be as thorough as i can with the limited time i have to work on this :-) not all the artists/singers are the originals, just including my favorite versions! i will add new knowledge as i find it.
i listen to a lot of the popular sursagar + soor mandir albums. i have tried to organize them by album, artist, etc. and include links. some of this is loose translation, and some is using knowledge from some of my elders + my own knowledge! please leave comments if there is something i can improve! each page also has some commentary + analysis of the geet!
