SikhiToTheMax Version 2 Released
I’m sure most of you have been to a Gurdwara while Kirtan is being sung, and seen the Gurbani with a translation projected onto a screen. Isn’t this cool?? This is has changed the way that Gurdwaras in this modern age bring a deeper understanding of Gurbani to the sangat. In our Gurdwaras since the old days in the 70’s we didn’t have this and relied on hundreds and hundreds of shabad sheets which were put together, copied and then organized in file cabinets. They would then be handed out in the Gurdwara so that we could sing along with the Shabad and understand the meaning.
We have come a long way since then in the world! With the digitalization of Gurbani and various translations becoming available, the options for viewing and searching through Gurbani are limitless. What we can do and how we can view Gurbani is really only limited by our creativity and imagination…and taking the time to create something new.
One group of sevadhars has taken on this challenge, spending lots of time to create some awesome services; making Gurbani accessible in so many different ways. They started with the SikhiToTheMax.com website which allows you to easily search for Gurbani Shabads with any computer connected to the internet and a basic web browser. They then released a software desktop version of SikhiToTheMax which allowed you to search and display Gurbani line by line in Gurdwaras. After that a PDA version was created so you could do Gurbani searches on the go…anywhere. I know of a few Ragis who use this cool tool.
It’s been a few years since the release of the initial SikhiToTheMax desktop software, and the Sevadhars have been back on the job working hard to create a new version with even more features and functionality for the Sangat. The new version has been officially released and is available for you all to download.
The new version is packed with lots of new features and a whole new user interface. Here are a few of the new features:
- Interface has been changed to look like office 2007
- Bhai Gurdas Jee’s Varan are now complete and corrected.
- There is Compiled Bani option which includes Nitnem Banis and Sri Dasam Granth Banis
- There is a Sri Dasam Granth Bani section, which includes fixes of the mistakes on online versions
- Amrit Kirtan section has been updated
- You can use your own Powerpoint slide
- A Bisraam option has been added, so you know how to pause when reading Gurbani
- Akhand Paath option has been enhanced
- Hukamnamma option has been added and also Punjabi translations added
- Tagging has been added
- Creating PDF’s option is added
- If you want to read the Bani joined up as it was originally written, you can have that option
- When you view the Shabad you have the option to split view
- You can save your searches
- Several viewing options
- Help section in English, Punjabi and PDF files to help in all areas of STTM 2
- You can change the font size of everything in the Akhand paath mode and also other views.
- Video tutorials and help options to show you how to use the program.
2020 Update:
SikhiToTheMax project is now maintained by Khalis Foundation. You can download the it here or find out more on their website.

I have Vista Ultimate w-SP1. I downloaded and installed Microsoft Net 3.5 SP1first. I was successful in installing STTMII and also was able to install 1.74 MB patch. It worked fine for the first time. But now I get an error message. I think I forgot to give the Vista Permission. I have read the instructions many a times, and am not able to get the #1-‘Open File Explorer.’ Could you please guide me to this step. Thanking you sincerely. Guru Fateh. -par singhÂ
Further to my request above, I have a Google-Microsoft Internet Explorer, which does not have file option. I have raked my brains and have found out that I am NOT one least ‘intuitive’ person person. I am grateful to the builders of STTM II. They have done a great service to the world. Guru Fateh. -par singh
Dear SikhNet, I am getting this error message as above by Sukhpreet Singh K. Please tell me how to get the new update from Sikhi To The Max to correct this issue. Thanking you.

Sttm2 is not a PDA software but only for your pc or laptop which has either Windows XP or Vista and the required .net files.
If you want STTM for you PDA then you will need to search Sikhnet and follow installation guide. STTM for PDA’s does work on Mobile Windows as I have it one Windows 6.1 and it works fine.
Harjinder Singh ji…WJKK WJKF…Kindly send me the link to download STTM for PDA for windows 6.1 at [email protected]
SSA!
I’m helping my Gurdwara use STTM to display shabds during services. I would like to show the text for Chopay Sahib and Anand Sahib as well. And I’d like to use the Akand Path view mode.Â
Is there anyway to alter the languages that shows in this view? I’d like to disply the Gurmukhi, the English translation, as well as the transliteration.Â
Also, does anyone else out there export shabds into .ppt and create a library outside of STTM? I’m happy to share what we’ve generated if this is of use. I don’t trust my Gurmukhi reading skills so it’s better that I navigate in PowerPoint… Am I alone?
Thanks ahead of time,
GuruRas
For those of you who are on Apple Mac computers or other operating system you can use the new “Search Gurbani Desktop” program. This is a cross platform program that works on most operating systems.
Download it at: http://www.sikher.com/download/

I have a problem using “SikhToTheMax” on windows vista. I installed all the required .net framework, changed permission on “Sikhitothemax” folder. The problem is when I try to open powerpoint display of the shabad. The powerpoint locks up and CPU runs 100% and when I close power point then it gives me an exception “Cannot create ActiveX object”, installed v1.1 .net framework. Ran the installation again but again powerpoint locks up and after closeing it get exception about “Remote procedure call”.
I am so frustrated but can’t wait to see the app running on my vista laptop. Please help as I sent emails to sikhitothemax.com provided email address but I guess all the sewadars aren’t available. Please guide me to solve this issue.
