Our mission is to learn about Shabad and make it universally accessible to every person on the planet.
ਸਬਦੁ ਭਾਖਤ ਸਸਿ ਜੋਤਿ ਅਪਾਰਾ ॥ ~ Guru Nanak Dev Ji - Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji - Ang 943
Giving voice to the Shabad, the moon of the mind is illuminated with infinity.
Shabad is commonly defined as a hymn, but could its meaning be something more elusive? Our goal is to learn about Shabad through the various writings of the Sikh philosophy and then to make them more accessible for others to learn from as well. Hence the OS in our name – It stands for open-source.
The term open-source originates in a software movement to support open collaboration. Basically, people desired to voluntarily cooperate together to create something better. Similarly, we believe in an open-source Sikh philosophy. Everyone can join, there are no barriers to participation. The work that is completed can be handed off to the following generations.
Shabad OS is registered as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, with an IRS ruling year of 2020. Donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Our tax identification number is 85-0806383.
As a non-profit organization, Shabad OS reinvests all earnings into everything we do, from product development to running costs for online services.
