Rajnarind Kaur saw a problem, so she came up with a solution.
She noticed that kids these days — kids in her generation and beyond — didn’t know their daily prayers. So she made a CD set that makes them easy to learn. BaniPro 1 and BaniPro 2, between them, contain all the banis a good Sikh should know. Just follow along, listen to the pronunciation, and you’re set.
Here it is in her own words:
I was traveling for work and was in Brasil for a couple of months. I met
many Brasilian Sikhs who had never seen a Punjabi Sikh before. When we did
paath together, I realised how difficult it was for them to pronounce a lot
of the Gurbani which then led me to look at the kids here in America and
abroad.
BaniPro 1 contains the 5 banis that all Sikhs should recite daily as a minimum requirement, as specified in the Sikh Rehat Maryada (code of conduct). These are Japji Sahib, Jaap Sahib, Savaiye, Rehras, and Sohila. BaniPro 2 rounds out the set with a few more — Mool Mantar, Benti Chaupai, Shabad Hazare, Anand Sahib, and Ardas.
You can purchase CDs from banipro.com.
