About

Features
Read full description

Ek Sur is a simple and peaceful space for experiencing Shabads, Kirtan, and devotional music together. Explore a growing library of Shabads, browse the complete Gurbani collection, search in Gurmukhi or Roman text, and read each Shabad in a clear, focused reader. With Live Kirtan, one Host can lead a session while the Sangat follows the same Shabad and Pankti in real time. The Host can move through the Panktis and change the Shabad while everyone follows along. Ek Sur also includes curated collections such as Kirtan and Janmashtami, along with a Custom Playlist where Shabads can be added and shared with the Sangat. Whether you are listening on your own or participating in a live session, Ek Sur is designed to keep the experience simple, focused, and connected.
