BaniStream (banistream.gurbanikhoj.com) is an innovative web platform, aiming to assist in the learning and practice of reading and reciting Gurbani. The goal is to have an automated “Bani Stream” which displays the related Gurbani tukhs in a continuous un-interrupted flow, at various “depths”.

In its eventual form we hope to allow users the ability to view entire scrolling Shabads at a time with the corresponding tukhs being highlighted and in-sync with audio. Users would have the added ability to zoom in, to granular levels such that they could view a single tukh, or even individual lafaj’s. All this would only just be the start of what is possible, and many other uses for such data sets would also be explored in addition too providing gurbani aid tools.

However, before we can get there we require a data set of lafaj’s synced with our current audio collection.

This is where we require your help. If you feel you have the time ~ 80 hours, over the next few months, then please login and contribute to the project. Contributing is easy and we’ve made our tools as seamless and intuitive as possible.

The tool is self learning, and works on desktop, modern tablet or phone. Simply login using a google account, and use your keyboard, mouse or finger to tap to progress the words forward with the audio. Progress is saved automatically or you can always manually click the save button. If you make a mistake, simply use the back buttons up to you last valid sync and retry.

Lastly it is worth noting that this tool and seva is currently being built around the tremendous work completed by Giani Jaswant Singh AKA Bhagat Ji of Damdami Taksal, and their loyal and dedicated team. It has been their life’s work to teach Shudh Ucharan, (Correct pronunciations), of Gurbani and to bring the arth and vidhiya as taught to them by Sant Giani Gurbachan Singh to the masses.
