Khoj Gurbani

KhojGurbani is an online platform with a mission to make the Guru Granth Sahib accessible to and exciting for the common Sikh—who wants to read Gurbani but does not have the tools and a support network to do so. While KhojGurbani will engage Sikhs globally in discussion on specific sections of Guru Granth Sahib every week, it will also spearhead the development of a crowdsourced commentary and a new idiomatic English translation. Each week the platform will present a section from the Guru Granth Sahib for worldwide study and discussion. A number of weekly online video-based discussion groups will be facilitated to discuss assigned shabads. We will involve Sikhs with deep expertise in exegesis of the Guru Granth Sahib in these video discussions, which will be broadcasted through our platform and our YouTube channel. In addition, audio and written responses to the shabad or the section would be solicited and crowdsourced. This exercise would allow eminent intellectuals and laypersons alike to engage with one another across different mediums and languages, all enabled by the online platform.
