Wind down with gentle Punjabi animated tales of kindness, prayer, and the loving presence of Waheguru. Soft narration, soothing music, and stories that help your little one drift off peacefully.
Bedtime is sacred. It’s the last 15 minutes of the day — the moment when your child’s mind slows down, their body relaxes, and the day’s lessons settle into their heart. We made these Sikh bedtime stories to honour that moment.
Every story in this collection is specifically designed for the wind-down hour — calmer pace, softer music, gentle endings, no high-tension drama. They’re rooted in Sikhi but written for kids of all faiths to enjoy. Listen with the lights low, the screen dim (or off — they all have audio versions), and watch your child slowly drift into sweet, peaceful dreams. New bedtime stories are added every month, so check back often or subscribe to be notified when new ones drop.
Download every bedtime story to the Khalsa Phulwari app. No ads. No screen time guilt. Listen-only mode for screen-free bedtimes. Free for life.
From speech therapists, sleep coaches, and Sikh parenting experts.
The cuddle, the book, the lullaby — everything to make your bedtime ritual unforgettable.
Our Junior Kirtan class teaches gentle shabads — like Sohila, Kirtan Sohila, and lullaby raags — perfect for evening practice. First class free.
Our bedtime collection is designed for kids aged 3 to 10 years old. Younger toddlers (under 3) can enjoy the gentle audio and visuals with a parent close by. The stories are short most are 5 to 10 minutes so they fit perfectly within a typical bedtime routine.
Both! Most of our bedtime stories are available in Punjabi (the original) and English (for diaspora families). On the individual story page, you’ll see a “Read in Punjabi” link if a Punjabi version exists, and the audio player lets you switch between languages.
Cultural words like Waheguru, Pita Ji, Khalsa, and shabads are kept in their original form so your child grows up with both languages weaving naturally into their bedtime memories.
Yes. Every bedtime story has an audio-only mode. On the website, scroll down to find the audio player below the video. On the Khalsa Phulwari mobile app, tap the “Listen only” toggle and your screen will dim. Many parents use this for car rides home and right before lights-out.
Absolutely. While the stories are rooted in Sikh tradition, the values kindness, courage, sharing, gratitude, calmness are universal. Many of our families are mixed-faith or non-Sikh and use our bedtime stories for their gentle pace, soothing audio, and beautiful animation. We never preach religion; we simply share the warmth of Sikhi through good storytelling.
We add new bedtime stories every 2 to 4 weeks as our animation team produces them. The fastest way to know when a new one drops is to subscribe to our weekly newsletter or download the Khalsa Phulwari app both will notify you the moment a new bedtime story is published.
Apps like Calm and Headspace are wonderful for adults, and they have great kids’ content too. What we offer is different we are made by Sikh parents, for Sikh kids (and any kids who love a good gentle story). Our characters look like your child. Our stories include shabads they hear at the gurdwara. Our values come from the Guru’s teachings. There’s no other place online where your child can hear “Waheguru” before bed in a way that’s calming, age-appropriate, and beautifully animated. That’s the gap we’re filling.
Yes. Every story on our website and YouTube channel is completely free. The Khalsa Phulwari app is also free no in-app purchases, no premium tier. We’re funded by donations, our shop, and Khalsa Phulwari Academy. If our work has helped your family, the kindest support is to make a donation, share a story with another parent, or shop our merch.
