testing it

For over two decades, Khalis Foundation has been a pioneer in Sikh technology, turning big ideas into life-changing tools for the Sikh community.

Our vision is bold and forward-looking: to ensure that every Sikh, young or old, can easily access the wisdom of Gurbani and the rich essence of Sikhi through modern, user-friendly apps and platforms.

By donating, you become a part of this vision – you’re fueling a mission that marries faith with innovation, and lighting the way for future generations.

When you invest in Khalis Foundation, every dollar carries unparalleled impact—fueling tools like BaniDB and Sundar Gutka that directly support the daily Nitnems and spiritual connection of millions around the world.

 

Few causes offer this level of immediate, widespread, and lasting influence on the Sikh community.

When it comes to preserving the sanctity of Gurbani, trust is paramount. At Khalis Foundation, we hold ourselves to the highest standards of accuracy and authenticity. Every correction in our Gurbani database is carefully reviewed and approved, guided by expert scholars and authoritative sources from the Akal Takhat.

In fact, over 40,000 corrections have been implemented via our BaniDB project, each one verified with multiple layers of peer review​ to ensure the sacred words remain pristine. No single person can make changes arbitrarily – every update is backed by consensus and proof.

Sundar Gutka is one of the most widely used Sikh apps globally, helping millions of Sikhs perform their daily Nitnems with ease and devotion.We are working on new features in sunder gutka consistently. 

We are excited to soon launch audio playback on Sundar Gutka, allowing users to not only read but also listen to Gurbani. Additionally, we will be adding word meanings and pronunciation guides to help new Nitnemis understand and recite Gurbani with greater ease.

 

Gurdwaras around the world rely on SikhiToTheMax to project Shabads and translations during services – even the live kirtan from Sri Harmandir Sahib in Amritsar uses it. And on a personal level, SikhiToTheMax helps individuals quickly find the right Shabad for any moment, fostering a deeper connection with Gurbani when it’s needed most.

 

We are rebuilding Sikhi to the Max - Gurdwara (Desktop) with a brand-new Sikhi Widgets library. This upgrade will bring a modern look, introduce exciting new features, and provide a scalable, high-performance tech architecture for a seamless user experience.

 

A groundbreaking new AI assistant that brings the wisdom of Gurbani to your fingertips. Hazoor AI can answer your deepest spiritual questions with verified Gurbani references, avoiding the misinformation or “hallucinations” common in other AI platforms. It’s like having a knowledgeable guide available 24/7 – always responding with answers rooted in Gurbani.

All of this happens because of hardwork and contributions of our dedicated and amazing volunteers.

Through our foundation, the intention is to reach out to today's Sikh youth and help them achieve purity and truthfulness in their lives. “Khalis” meaning pure or truth, refers to the Sikh lifestyle of leading an honest and truthful life. We are dedicated to raising awareness of Sikh culture and lifestyle through various services such as media, apps and books.
