KhojGurbani Media

I came across Khoj Gurbani in Apple Podcasts and was interested in listening to a sehaj paat type katha in english. However, apple podcasts didnt have the entire katha from Ang 1, and I downloaded this app in hopes of finding it and I jumped for joy when I saw the “Sabad a day”feature starting right from the mool mantar! I am excited for the journey in reading my first sehaj paat and I know this app will be of great benefit. I am mind blown by the amazing english translations in the sabad a day section. In the opening mool mantar episode Khoj Gurbani states they are at best an approximation, but they certainly do more justice than other translations I have come across in other Sikhi apps. For example Ik Onkaar is usually translated as “there is one god” but Khoj Gurbani translates it as “oneness that is being and becoming” 🤯. I will be recommending this app to anyone from a Western background that wants to learn more about Gurbani.

This app allows you to listen to various ragis, find shabads and see a library of ragis who have sung it and download it or create a playlist. When you select a shabad to listen to, the translation also shows up. Best part is being able to download keertan and nitnem so I can listen later without using up my data. I can create playlists and favorite tracks or ragis. Highly recommend. I didn’t have to worry about installing keertan on my phone dot my figures with the ability to download. Also cool that there are various radios available to listen to along with the saabad a day.

*Khoj Gurbani* has evolved beautifully! Gurbani collection is so vast and combined with ability to see text and translations while listening is extremely useful. Shabad-a-day podcast in English and Punjabi is such an asset for the entire community. It is like a Sehaij path of Sri Guru Granth Sahib, one sabad every day, with meanings. English specifically allows one and all, kids and adult alike, to connect directly with our Guru’s bani, irrespective of their current comfort level with Gurmukhi or Punjabi. That is a treasure for the entire panth, especially those growing up in west! Highly encourage for anyone who has an interest in understanding or even listening to Gurbani
