A Gurdwara in Ludhiana has innovated newer ways to reach out to believers. The Gurudwara has wide screens for devotees to understand better the hymns of the scripture the priests sing. Everyday some 50,000 people come to pray at Gurudwara Dukhniwaran, located in the heart of the city. A majority of the youngsters and people of other faiths, find it difficult to understand the meaning of Gurbani.

A screen projects the scripts of the verses in Gurmukhi and translations in English, which has helped the devotees sing along karaoke style.

Nice one!

Not much a believer in God though, but I like things changing, at least these Gurudwara wallah’s are not as stubborn as others.

LOL @ these Gurudwara wallah’s

I went to a gurdwara in Canada last year and they had the wide-screen with sikh history and words of the kirtan. So this is not something new for gurdwara’s only that this is done first time in india.

Understanding the Gurmukhi written in Guru Granth Sahib is not easy ( similar to like pandit doing yagya in sanskrit ) so its helpful if you have the translation done :-)
