Safar-e-Gurmukhi: Ek Akhar Har Roz – A Soulful Journey Through the Script of Sikhi

 


In a world constantly buzzing with notifications and deadlines, “Safar-e-Gurmukhi: Ek Akhar Har Roz” invites us to pause, breathe, and reconnect—with our roots, our heritage, and ourselves.

Launched with love and vision by @AaoBaniyeGursikhPyaara and @ParamsCreativeNest, this initiative is not just about writing Gurmukhi—it’s about feeling it. It’s a humble journey where we embrace the beauty of the Gurmukhi script, one letter at a time, each day.

Whether you're a learner, an artist, or someone simply seeking a moment of mindfulness, this project welcomes everyone. There are no rules for how you express yourself—use a pen, pencil, paintbrush, or a stylus—what matters most is your heartfelt effort and the joy of immersing in this sacred script.

Why “Ek Akhar Har Roz”?

Because every akhar (letter) in Gurmukhi carries deep spiritual vibrations. When we write it, we don't just form shapes—we embody the sound of Gurbani, the voice of our Gurus. Practicing one letter each day helps cultivate not only linguistic familiarity but also spiritual discipline and a sense of inner calm.

This project is also a celebration of community and collective expression. By joining the Safar, you become part of a growing family that’s dedicated to preserving, practicing, and promoting the language of our Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

How to Participate?

It’s simple:

🖋 Write one Gurmukhi letter a day using your preferred medium

Let’s Celebrate Gurmukhi Together!

This journey isn’t about perfection; it’s about connection. It’s about expressing your love for the script that holds the wisdom of our Gurus. Whether you join to improve your writing, to bond with your kids, or to simply enjoy the meditative rhythm of calligraphy, your presence adds warmth to this collective experience.

Let’s make Gurmukhi a daily habit, a daily joy, and a daily offering.

Safar-e-Gurmukhi: One Letter. One Day. One Divine Connection.

Celebrating Excellence: Launch of “Daughter of the Soil – President Droupadi Murmu” by Gaurav Gupta Ji & Rashmi Saluja Ji

 



It was a moment of immense pride and inspiration as we witnessed the launch of the powerful and thought-provoking book, “Daughter of the Soil – President Droupadi Murmu,” authored by the dynamic duo Gaurav Gupta Ji and Rashmi Saluja Ji. This remarkable literary work is a tribute to one of the most inspirational leaders of our time—President Droupadi Murmu, India’s first tribal woman President and a beacon of courage, simplicity, and resilience.

We extend our heartiest congratulations to Gaurav Gupta Ji and Rashmi Saluja Ji for this significant and timely contribution to the literary and political discourse of our nation. The book beautifully captures the extraordinary journey of President Murmu—from humble beginnings in Odisha to the highest constitutional office in the country. It is a tale of perseverance, dignity, and a deep-rooted connection to one’s culture and people.

A Humbling Honour

It was a deeply humbling experience to receive the first copy of the book—an honour that resonates personally and emotionally. Holding this book is not just about receiving a literary work; it’s about embracing the story of a woman who broke barriers and paved the way for millions of others with quiet strength and unwavering determination.

The presence and collaboration of both authors, known for their impactful voices in the fields of social change and leadership, adds great depth and authenticity to the narrative. Their efforts in chronicling such a powerful life journey will surely inspire generations to come.

More Than a Book—A Movement

“Daughter of the Soil” is more than just a biography. It’s a movement of acknowledgement and celebration—of India’s rich tribal heritage, of women’s empowerment, and of the idea that no dream is too distant when one’s heart is rooted in service and sacrifice.

As we celebrate this beautiful launch, let us also celebrate the values of inclusion, empathy, and leadership that this book so wonderfully embodies. May this work reach every corner of the nation and ignite hope in the hearts of many.

Once again, congratulations to Gaurav Gupta Ji and Rashmi Saluja Ji on this inspiring achievement.
