SikhNetwork SMS: Gur-Ta-Gaddi on Sikh SMS Network



Guru Granth Sahib is the bedrock of the Sikh faith. As the Sikh world resonates with ‘300 Saal Guru de Naal’ and ‘Guru Maneyo Granth’, Sikhnetwork is at the forefront in its own way. Every day, sometimes even twice a day, in keeping with the spirit of the occasion, Gurbani, history and news messages relating to the worldwide celebrations are being sent on Sikhnetwork as part of the Gurta Gaddi fortnight through SMS to more than a hundred thousand mobile users across the country.

Gurta Gaddi has surely impacted our daily lives. The slogan 300 Saal Guru De Naal has filled the air. Talk shows, newspapers, websites, TV, jagriti yatra marches, langars, peace marches –all have played their role. Whether or not one is too involved in religion, one cannot ignore the developments and the celebrations happening around us.

The country’s biggest SMS private service on the SMS Gupshup platform, developed and nurtured by Harjinder Singh serves as medium to reach Sikhs across India and create awareness about current affairs affecting Sikhs, Sikh societal concerns and Sikh way of life. Always taking a progressive outlook, Sikhnetwork uses empowering language attempting to transform the thought processes of Sikhs, creating new possibilities for the Sikh people, enabling them to introspect and ponder.

Sourcing the messages exclusively from the content from Guru Granth Sahib, the Sikhnetwork SMS has flashed many a message persuading Sikhs to wean themselves away from the mushroom growth of pseudo-sants and to use this historic occasion to rededicate and strengthen belief in Guru Granth Sahib ji as the final Guru of the Sikhs. Elated at the spirit of Sikhi that pervades all tercentenary celebrations, Harjinder Singh says that, “The 300th Anniversary of Gur-Ta-Gaddi Divas has united Sikhs across the world. We celebrate our Guru and vow to surrender to the final and supreme Guru of the Sikhs.”

It is time to recharge our batteries as me and my family have done says the young architect of the SMS service, who takes due pride at being ‘fortunate to witness this milestone in Sikh history.’ Adding a personal touch to his feelings, he says that, “We just love the feeling that the entire Panth is re-inventing their relationship with the Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Everyone seems to be coming closer to the Guru.

Sounding hopeful and expressing his yearnings, the young tech-savvy Sikh hopes that the celebrations at Hazur Sahib will help bring the five Takhts closer. He was emphatic that by now “Sikh politicians should have vowed to unite under one umbrella and stopped their diversionary vote-catching tactics which undermine and dilute the teachings of Guru Granth Sahib.”

Next on the agenda is to make the Sikhnetwork interactive, expand the reach beyond the country’s frontiers using latest technological developments and strengthen the new Kaurz SMS group exclusively for Sikh women. Visibly happy at the worldwide celebrations, the Sikhnetwork team is thrilled that this mega event in the Sikh world has been beyond expectation.
