With ZEE Punjabi ending its coverage of Shabad Gurbani from the Golden Temple this month, BizAsia.co.uk can exclusively confirm that Music India will be the new broadcaster of the popular telecast.From Friday 16th September, Music India will exclusively broadcast Shabad Gurbani from Sri Harmandir Sahib - the channel's biggest coup since it launched in the UK.

The Golden Temple coverage is seen as a premium property and with Music India snapping up the rights; it will no doubt boost the channel's profile. Furthermore, it will be the first time the coverage will be shown free-to-air. Prior to this, ZEE Network had telecast the show on its subscription channel ZEE Punjabi.

ZEE Punjabi has been the broadcaster of the Golden Temple Shabad Gurbani coverage for the past nine years since ZEE Punjabi (Alpha Punjabi then) launched in the UK.

Rabindra Narayan, President PTC Network, said, "We wanted to make Gurbani from Sri Darbar Sahib available to maximum viewers possible in Europe. This is why we chose the FTA channel, Music India. Now devotees do not have to pay anything to watch Gurbani."

Prashant Chautani, Chairman Music India said, "We feel indeed blessed to have been chosen by the Gurus to spread their message across Europe. We have no doubt that we are just a medium and the divine powers have blessed us by giving us strength and resources to be able to bring this holy offering for everyone."

"We are very delighted to be associated with Music India and work along to be able to broadcast the coverage of Shabad Gurbani from Golden Temple every day and that too free-to-air for the first time as against it being subscription based ever since it launched nearly a decade ago," says Rajiee M Shinde, co-promoter and COO of PTC Network.

In 2008, the Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC) decided to award the rights to the PTC Group after years of an agreement with ZEE Network. However, in the UK, ZEE Punjabi remained the broadcaster of the Golden Temple Shabad Gurbani due to PTC Punjabi not having presence here.

With PTC Punjabi's launch in the UK delayed, the coverage of the Golden Temple Shabad Gurbani will be shown on Music India, which thusfar has been broadcasting PTC News bulletins.

Music India will telecast the Shabad Gurbani slots same time as ZEE Punjabi - 04:00 - 08:00 and 16:00 - 18:00 daily, from Friday 16th September.

Music India UK is distributed by World Media Connect, which also handles Imagine Dil Se.

"This along with the already airing PTC News bulletins will consolidate Music India’s position specially among the Punjabi population of UK & Europe" says Sumant Bahl, President European Operations for World Media Connect.

Music India is available free-to-air on Sky Digital channel 822.

This is great news.

Only downside is that this channel is not devoted solely to Sikhi and shows music videos and whatnot which is a downside.

Its about time SGPC set up 2 channels, one that broadcasts just live kirtan from darbar sahib and and one dedicated to parchar of Gurbani.

However, we should take as much laha (profit) as we can from live kirtan from sri Darbar Sahib, lets hope it remains free.

I have zee punjabi but as I was on cable not sky I thought gurbani from Harmandir Sahib was shown on most Sikh or Punjabi channels. (Only one Punjabi channel on cable rest are Indian, also why Sikh channels not on cable?).

It's a disgrace that rights are sold to a specific channel to show the broadcasts. I mean it's just a money making scheme, footage should be provided on a multichannel platform as some people do not have access to certain channels. This is not a good look. SGPC in India it's different everyone has the channels so it could make sense but in UK or wherever not everyone has all the channels. I mean I don't mind paying even if I watch a minimum amount but the thing is not all platforms support the channels. Like Sky has way more channels than cable but some like me has cable as too get sky I need to a have a dish on an extended post to get a signal and it makes no sense as it would wobble in bad weather, effect the signal and looks horrible on the property.

Also when PTC airs in UK then I think the coverage will go to PTC and it will not be free to air.

Gurdssingh ji, well said. Lets wait and see if Badals have decency to keep channel free and keep kirtan of Darbar sahib free as it should be.

I'm 99% sure that they will charge for channel though. If they do charge we should send a complaint to sri Akal Takht Sahib. We must as a panth take action on this.

I do benti to sikhchannels to do discussion show with all major sikh jathabadis. This is an important topic, kirtan from Darbar sahib should be free!

      Traveling in Punjab independently and safely (need good advice)

      By BhForce · Posted

      Umm, that's totally irrational, bro. There are plenty of prakash-dara Singhs in Punjab (less than we'd like, but still plenty). No one cares that you are sabat soorat. It isn't 1986. You can walk around in chola, kurta-pajama, or jeans. Whatever. If you want the look @dallysingh101 is referring to, just go into a cheap clothing shop (not a Western-style mall) and buy some shirts for 250 rupees or a track suit for 2000 rupees. You'll get the cheap stuff made in some sweatshop in Bombay.

      Concept of Sin

      By MokhamSingh · Posted

      The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…

      Concept of Sin

      By BhForce · Posted

      I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124

      Fake Baba

      By BhForce · Posted

      That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.

      Fake Baba

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
