Can I attend the Virtual Jamatkhana instead of going to JK?
The Virtual Jamatkhana is meant to provide additional exposure to our heritage, and to connect those of us who cannot attend in person.
The Virtual Jamatkhana is not meant to replace regular physical attendance in JK because it cannot replace all the significance and benefits of physical attendance and of congregational prayer.

Audio Button: Where is it?
Many users could not get the audio to play completely using the play buttons. Audio would cut-off.
The audio play buttons that were usually in the right-hand-side margin of texts such as ginans, geets, news events, Persons, etc.. Have been moved to below the main text of those pages, and replaced by an Audio play bar which takes more space, but is more reliable.
Enjoy Listening to Your heritage!
