Dear Everyone, Gurfateh.
The "Shabad Guru Search Software" has been created to make the search for any shabad quick and easy. The Software comes in a CD, called the "Shabad Guru CD" which also has the "SGGS Darpan" and the "Mahan Kosh" in it. The CD also includes "Gurbani Files" downloaded from the website gurbanifiles.org.

The "Shabad Guru Search Software" has four search methods: (a)By Initials (b)By Gurbani (c)By SGGS Page and (d)By English Translation. Full details and features of the software as well as step by step instructions on how to use it are included in a 'readme' file that is included in the CD.

To search for the shabad in question, using the "Initials" search method, one merely needs to type the initials of the shabad (in English text) in the search query, viz: "fjjttsbb". In this instance, I was able to find the shabad by typing only "fjjt". The search result simultaneously displays line by line, the (1) Original Gurbani Text (2) English Translation and (3) Transliteration.
The SGGS page, Line, Author and Raag of the Shabad line is also displayed in a corner of the screen, making it easy and useful for cross-referencing.

The SGGS Darpan and Mahan Kosh included in the CD make it possible for persons who can read Gurmukhi, to 'dive' deeper into the 'ocean' of the Guru's Shabad for 'shabad khoj' and research.

The uses of the Shabad Guru Search Software are numerous. It has been used for
1. Shabad Search - by using any of the search options
2. Parmaan/Topic Search - by using either Gurbani or English Translation.
3. Creating your own database of Parmaans/Topics by using the Bookmark feature.
4. Doing Paath - with the Translation and Transliteration in view for referral.
5. Following Paath and or Kirtan being played on the audio/video/TV, etc
6. Listening to SGGS MP3 on the computer while following each line - doing your own sehej paath!
7. In Gurdwaras for Screen Projection - enabling everyone to participate in the ongoing Paath or Kirtan, and, enabling them to understand what's being sung or read.

The "Shabad Guru CD" is for free distribution. If you would like to receive the CD, please send your name mailing address to the undersigned. Please send NO money. If you would like to pay for it, please "pay forward" i.e., make as many copies of the CD as possible and give/send it to as many persons as possible. Make arrangements to have one installed in your local Gurdwara or Satsang place. Feel free to have it on your website for free access and for free download.

The Mission and Theme of this project is "GHAR GHAR ANDHAR DHARAMSAAL" (This tuk is from Vaar 1, Pauri 27 line 6 of Bhai Gurdaas Ji's Vaars)

The intention is to make the CD available to all Sikhs (and anyone interested) all over the world, by the coming 400th Parkaash Dehara of SGGS, free of expense to the recipients.


If you would like to participate in this seva, please contact the undersigned. It is with cooperative participation of Gursikhs from all over the world that this mission will be accomplished.

Chardhi Kala to All.
