Waheguru ji ka Khalsa! Waheguru ji ki Fateh! 

Sangat ji, Because of technical difficulties the audio Hukam will not be available for the next 3 weeks, except for repeat Hukamnamas for which we already have files. Please do keep checking after that time. Thank you! 

Today’s hukamnama is the Bani of Bhagat Kabeer ji in raag Dhanaasaree, and is on Ang 692 of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Maharaj.
