There are two main traditions of keertan, (1) Naraadiya or Haridasi (2) Varakri.
Haridasi keertan is a solo performance. It has two parts, Poorvarang and Uttarrang.
Naman (praising god), Nirupanacha Abhang (singing a composition that leads to the
main theme) and Nirupan (explanation of the main theme) comprise the
Poorvarang. Narration of a story to illustrate the main theme comprises Uttarrang. In
the Varkari Keertan collective participation is more important. The players of
cymbals also play an important part along with the keertankar. During the
independence movement a new type of Keertan was developed, known as Rashtriya
Keertan. It places more importance on creating awareness by narrating the life
stories of great leaders of the Indian independence movement, scientists, social
reformers, etc. The tradition of Rashtriya Keertan was started by Dattopant
Patwardhan of Wai in Maharashtra. Members of the Satyashodhak Samaj founded
by Mahatma Jyotirao Phule also used Keertan as a medium of creating social
awareness. The style of Keertan by Saint Gadge Maharaj resembled closely to
Satyashodhak style of Keertan. He used to throw light on issues like abolition of
caste, cleanliness, deaddiction, etc.
