UNITED SIKHS Releases Gurbani CD - Available Online

VANCOUVER, CANADA - A special compact disc set, launched to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the revelation of Sri Guru Granth Sahib, has been uploaded to the UNITED SIKHS website after recent worldwide distribution and promotion. This set of two CDs features recitation of Gurbani and interpretations in English of Jap Ji Sahib, Rehraas Sahib and Sohila. Each line of Gurbani when recited is accompanied with a follow-up interpretation to a backdrop of soft music. "The goal of the CD set," says UNITED SIKHS Director Mejindarpal Kaur, "is to inspire the youth to connect with the Guru's teachings, and allow professionals to learn from Gurbani by listening to the CD throughout the work day. It can also be used for beginners to get started on their daily Nitnem."

The CD is available online at http://www.unitedsikhs.org/gurbanicd.html for free download and distribution. UNITED SIKHS encourages members of the Sikh community to listen to, share with others, and promote this CD and the online download so that many more English-speaking Sikhs can be inspired by the Guru's teachings.
