Everything the NamSimran Gurbani app does
NamSimran was built for the way the sangat actually uses a phone — Hukamnama before work, Rehras on the commute, a few angs of Sehaj Path at night, and the Nanakshahi calendar when someone asks when Gurpurab falls. Every feature below is in the free app on both Google Play and the App Store.
Daily Hukamnama from Sri Darbar Sahib
The Hukamnama is published every morning with the original Gurmukhi, its meaning in Hindi and English, and audio you can listen to on the way to work. Share it as an image in one tap.
Read today's Hukamnama100+ Nitnem banis and Gurbani paath
The full daily Nitnem — Japji Sahib, Jaap Sahib, Tav-Prasad Savaiye, Chaupai Sahib, Anand Sahib, Rehras Sahib and Kirtan Sohila — alongside Sukhmani Sahib, Asa Di Var, Barah Maha and more than a hundred others.
Browse the bani collectionSehaj Path, ang by ang
All 1430 angs of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji with transliteration and translation. Your position is saved, so a Sehaj Path started in January carries on in March without you hunting for the page.
Start a Sehaj PathLive kirtan from Sri Harmandir Sahib
Kirtan streams live from Darbar Sahib with the shabad on screen, and keeps playing in the background while you read, drive or work.
Naam Simran counter
A mala counter built for actual use — large tap area, count kept between sessions, and a quiet screen that does not fight for your attention while you do Simran.
Try Naam Jap on the webSpiritual goals and streaks
Set a target you will actually keep — 108 malas, one bani a day, one ang before bed — and let the app hold the count so the routine survives a busy week.
Nanakshahi calendar
Gurpurabs, shaheedi diwas and historical Sikh dates marked on the day they fall, month by month, so the sangat's calendar is one tap away instead of one search away.
Punjabi, Hindi and English
Read in Gurmukhi, in Devanagari, in Roman transliteration, or in English meaning — and switch mid-bani without losing your line. One app for a household that reads in three scripts.
Sikh history and the lives behind it
The Gurus, the Bhagats, the Shaheeds and the Bhais — short, readable accounts of who they were and what they did, written for someone reading on a phone.

A gallery of wallpapers and Gurbani art cropped for phone and tablet screens, so the first thing you see each day is something that reminds you of Waheguru.
Made to be shared
Any shabad, Hukamnama or wallpaper can go straight to WhatsApp as an image, with the Gurmukhi already set — the way most of the sangat actually passes Gurbani around.
Free, and respectful of you
No charge to download, no paywall in front of a bani, and no account needed to read. Gurbani is not a subscription.

A Gurbani app for a household that reads in three scripts
A grandfather reads Gurmukhi. His son reads Devanagari. His granddaughter, born in Surrey or Southall, reads Roman and wants the English meaning next to it. NamSimran carries the same bani in all four forms so nobody in that house has to use a different app — or give up and read nothing.
- Original Gurmukhi, set in a Gurbani-appropriate typeface at a size you can actually read.
- Hindi (Devanagari) and Roman transliteration for anyone still learning the script.
- Plain-English translation beside the line, not buried two taps away.
- Adjustable text size, night reading and a screen that stays awake through a paath.
