ਗੁਰਬਾਣੀ ਇਸੁ ਜਗ ਮਹਿ ਚਾਨਣੁ ਕਰਮਿ ਵਸੈ ਮਨਿ ਆਇ ॥
Gurbani is the light to illuminate this world. By His Grace, it comes to abide within the mind.
ਗੁਰਬਾਣੀ ਇਸ ਸੰਸਾਰ ਵਿਚ ਆਤਮਕ ਜੀਵਨ ਦਾ ਚਾਨਣ ਹੈ।

About POTHI
Mission, credited sources, contact, terms, and how to support the seva.
Maryada and trust
Free access, careful sources, and a privacy-first promise.
POTHI is offered as seva. It is a learning aid, not a replacement for santhya, sangat, Gurdwara learning, Panthic maryada, or guidance from knowledgeable Gursikhs.
Read privacy policy
Support the seva
Optional support helps keep POTHI free.
Support can help with app maintenance, content improvements, audio work, translations, children's learning material, server costs, and long-term updates. Supporting POTHI does not unlock features, rewards, premium content, or special access.
Where POTHI is going
The roadmap protects trust before adding louder features.
Accuracy and maryada come first, especially before putting Gurbani on widgets, posters, audio sync, presenter views, or other shareable surfaces.
Reliability and corrections
Reader snapshot tests, CI gates, report-correction flow, source provenance, and crash reporting.
Gentle reminders
Opt-in daily Hukamnama and Nitnem reminders for Amrit Vela, Rehras, and Sohila.
Practice companion
Sehaj Paath tracker, bookmark folders, notes, tags, encrypted export, and Simran mala.
More learning surfaces
Vocabulary flashcards, Nanakshahi reminders, widgets, Gurmukhi course depth, and optional cloud sync.
