Kirtan and Sikhi website links added

Some kirtan and good website links have been put up on the sidebar of this blog.

If you want to download any of the kirtan, firstly click on the hyperlink. Then right click on the the kirtan you wish to download and click "Save target as" if using Microsoft Internet Explorer, or "Save link as" if using Mozilla Firefox.

If you want to search for a bani or its english translation then the sikhitothemax bani search engine in the link for you. Just click on the link, then click on gurbani search. If you can't see the panjabi button then click on the "Download Font" at the top of the page and follow the instructions. Also, if you know the first letters of a line in the shabad then click on "first letters (from anywhere)" and press the letters. Also, if you know a word or two from the shabad then type them in and click "match any words". The website will then search though to find the shabad you are looking for.


Also, sikh soc events around the UK will be put up on the BOSS site as well as photos from some of the events.

I also recommend the Raj Karega Khalsa website as it has a lot of good videos, bani and other downloads on this site.
