sikhi.io

Gurbani should never sit behind a paywall or a language barrier. Sikhi.io (Sikh Archive), now an Everythings13 project, is a free archive of Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Dasam Granth, and Sarbloh Granth, with the Faridkot Teeka, Mahan Kosh in 28 languages and a library of 4,555 books. Our sites draw about 3 million visits a month from readers worldwide and growing.

One archive, many doors:

Sikhi.io: scripture, daily hukamnama, library, kirtan and research tools
SikhiUni.com: a free open university with 558 courses
PunjabiUni.com: Gurmukhi and literature learning in Punjabi
SikhArchive.co.uk: a guide to what the archive holds
Sikh Interactive: touch-first Sikh learning for gurdwara kiosks and tablets
20+ international sites, from sikh.jp and sikh.ae to sikhs.pk and sikharchive.de, bring the same readers to people in their own language.

Our open Sikh dataset on Hugging Face, over 1 billion words, is the largest on the platform and supports 11+ academic projects. Scholars in 40+ countries review our translations of Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Dasam Granth and Sarbloh Granth. Other books are AI-translated, and scholars can review them as they choose. Next, we are building Sikhflix for parents and growing Sikhi University, Nanak Nivas, based in Austrailia, is our first partner organization piloting courses on our own learning platform, and more organizations are planned to join in 2027.

We have self-funded over $25,000 of seva so far. This year we need $3,600 to keep going:

$1,500 a year for Cloudflare hosting and domain renewals across every site. Every $125 keeps everything online and free for a month.
$800 for AI translation credits. Our in-house OCR and Translation pipeline, run through OpenRouter, turns Sikh books and manuscripts into English at a cost that has dropped sevenfold. Every $5 translates about 10-20 books. These are labeled as AI translations. The balance covers handwritten manuscripts and other languages, which cost more per page.
$1,300 for development tools, so we can build, maintain and secure our websites, mobile apps and custom learning platform, including security and privacy work such as FERPA-aligned practices.
