Tell me one thing, if you can read Guru Granth Sahib do you really need such graphic literature? This is causing more spiritual imbalance than anything!
well..... i always said a numerous time ... there's no Guru other than "Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji" ..... but why anti DG people degrade Dasam Granth (Creation of Dasam Pita) ... doesn't matter if they do or do not read it ... there's no compulsion but why talk so bad about it ...Tell me one thing, if you can read Guru Granth Sahib do you really need such graphic literature? This is causing more spiritual imbalance than anything!
Well, i too agree that Sikh have only one Guru & that 'Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj' & even Dasam Pita himself said 'Sab Sikhan Ko Hukam Hai Guru Maneo Granth' .......
but that doesn't mean Sikhs should loud their voice to degrade writings of Guru Gobind Singh Ji ... It's written by Guruji & should be respected.
At the end, every person have his own perception & you may be right at your place but i cannot show my back to my Guru. What he's has written is correct & it's just the matter that we narrow minded people are unable to understand the contents. But i hope Waheguru will bless us one day with the mind to understand this great Bani.
Anythg coming out of Guru's mouth is a "Bani" to me...... Do you have any other name for it ???By calling DG bani (your words above, not mine), you are turning your back on Guru Gobind Singh ji by completely disobeying his hukam as quoted by you above Guru Maneyo Granth (SGGS only).
If the things quoted on this thread had been written by anyone today, that person would be insulted and cursed for such filth. Yet many have no hesitation in saying it was written by Guru Gobind Singh ji?! If thats not a slap in the face disguised as respect, I don't know what is!!
DG supporters accuse others of undermining SGGS but isn't that exactly what you are doing by taking attention away from SGGS? What is SGGS lacking that you feel you need something else?
The biggest respect for all the Gurus can be shown by studying AND following SGGS. Diluting SGGS with other texts is the biggest form of disrespect to ALL 10 Guru's.
Yes, i said & i maintain our only Guru is Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji but as we read Vaaran of Bhai Gurdas Ji why can't a Sikh respect & read DG as well ??The GURU is SGGS...and You have also admitted that you believe this..GURU Maniyo GRANTH. period.
The Gurus "MOUTH" is now the Pages of SGGS. (Bound and locked by Slok in Beginning and Mundawnni mh 5/slok mh 5 at the End)
Guru Nanak ji BESTOWED this "mouth" on Bhai Lehnna Ji by making him GURU ANGAD SAHIB JI..and SO ON..GURU after GURU...UNTIL 1708 when GURU GOBIND SINGH JI Gave this TITLE to SGGS. Logically there is NO GURBANI outside of SGGS...OR you Fail to beleive in the SOLE GURU SGGS !! and show you have OTHER "Gurus"........
2 Bhai Gurdass Jis VAARAN...Bhai nand Lala Jis Kabits, swaiyahs, etc etc. NO ONE CALLS THOSE "GURBANI"...so your attempt to take that line of reasoning is way out. Those are POETRY we read and can read as Kirtan as well in a GURDWARA. NO OTHER POETRY was given this privilege. SRM of 1935 says this quite clearly ( Now even the SRM is being surreptitiously changed by vested interests from time to time...while in PUBLIC these same people deny that any such changes can take place..BUT they forget that despite DESTROYING LIBRARIES and burning down old literature in name of satikaar/birdh beers etc etc they Cannot destroy every Single copy of already printed SRM spread around the world....and interested parties can see what CHANGES are being made in each new EDITION of the SRM !!.
3. Vested interests are working very hard to BREAK the LOCK of SGGS.....IF we permit just one crack....there will be a FLOOD....there is a VAST amount of Bhagat Kabir Jis so called BANI OUTSIDE of SGGS....Right NOW we consdier SGGS LOCKED and SECURE..so no one can turn around ad tell us...THIS Kabir Panthi Granth is also Bani of Kabir Ji..why NOT you SIKHS ADD it to KIRTAN in your Gurdawaras..isnt it GURBANI ?? The author is Kabir ?? so why NOT ?? Why not also include bani form RAVIDASS GRANTH ??
OUR one and ONLY LOGICAL answer to all such is that to a SIKH..His ONe and ONLY GURU is SGGS..ONLY SGGS has GURBANI- it doesnt matetr who the AUTHOR IS..as long as GURU Nanak ji/Guru Arjun ji and Finally GURU GOBIND SINGH JI CHOSE and ENDORSED it for INCLUSION INSIDE SGGS. Every single snetence LEFT OUT OF SGGS is NOT GURBANI no matter who the claimed author is...NO EXCEPTIONS esp as GURU GOBIND SINGH JI HIMSELF left out his compositions..why we are trying to "make a CRACK" make an EXCEPTION...so that kabir panthis, ravidasees , etc can WIDEN it ?? BY what reason will we then say NO...If tomorrow soemone coems out with an ancient Manuscript of Bhai lehnna Jis Mata Bhajans ?? Bhai Amardass jis "Ganga Maiyah Mata Jwalamuklhi Anand Bhajan"....will we accept those as Gurbani ???
CONSISTENTLY CONSISTENT....is GURMATT. GURU GOBIND SINGH JI gave us HIS FINAL WISH and COMMAND...SGGS is GURU..GURBANI is from SGGS...NO MORE. PERIOD. but we can of course keep on calling dasm pita ji pita ji and continue to DISOBEY HIM...
Giani JiExactly..OUR GURU is SGGS. PERIOD.
No other "Gurbani" OUTSIDE SGGS. PERIOD.
IF we disagree..then we have TWO or MORE GURUS....simple as that...because ONLY a GURU can have GURBANI..and the One and ONLY GURU is SGGS...
2. The Amrit banis are "SRM" approved INITIATION RITE Banis...NOT "GURU". The Khandey batte dee PAHUL is a CEREMONY to admit a Sikh into KHALSA. The SRM decided what banis to read..those Banis can be CHANGED by Sarbatt Khalsa/New SRM. SGGS CANNOT BE CHANGED..even by a Sarbatt Khalsa. So there no danger to Khalsa in this..the ONLY DANGER is when Sikhs begin to believe in TWO OR MORE GURUS..parallel to SGGS as is happening with the pro DGs.
Veerji do you know the no of angs have been changing? The 1430 was something standardized by SGPC for printing!
We are sorry for offending you. But here on the forum we try to bring forth our views. All views are accepted. We only try to inspire each other as much as we can. And possibly correct ourselves if His Will be.
We have to see both sides of the argument. And problem is not what Pro DG or Anti DG think. There are sort of fault lines within the Panth. Problem is that there is status quo on the issue and it is not being resolved. Even if it is, tomorrow some elements release a video saying bad about Dasam Granth. Or in emotional state, someone might do a Prakash of DG with Guru Granth Sahib.
Some years back, someone had asked me, what is the status of DG as a scripture in Sikhi? She said our Guru is Guru Granth Sahib, then what is DG? It is a valid question! I was confused and with my limited knowledge, I said we should consider DG as extra book of prayers and historically relevant literature.
Personally I wish this controversy didn't exist. I wish people didn't 'discover' Charitropakhyan. Maybe some of DG or Charitropakhyan was written by Guru Gobind Singh. There is a funny video on Jathebandiyan, which was shared some time back on SPN. In that the guy was sitting in sad, sorry state wishing Sant Jarnail Singh ji will be back and fix everything in the Panth!
Is that what we want? No. We don't want to sit back. Gurmat is the key to Sikhi. Everything has to be approved in the Court of Guru Granth Sahib.
And if you think by questioning DG, I am questioning Jaap Sahib or Akaal Ustat, remember, Jaap Sahib was there before DG, by adding it to DG, it doesn't mean it has come from DG.
I think this thread has gone more general on the topic than it should have.
A few years back, the RSS asked for permition to keep Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji in Hindu temples. Many gullible Sikhs, including many members of SGPC were taken-in by their sweet-talk.
These Sikhs actually argued that we should be proud that the Hindues showed such reverence and love for Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.
These simple people did not understand the hidden agenda that lay behind this sudden passion for Sikhism. The truth is that these Hindu organisations were in fact planning to infiltrate the Sikh religion through hook or crook, and then, like termites, damage Sikh religion's vitals from inside.
This strategy has been successfully practiced for centuries by the Hindus against great religions like Budhism, Jainism and even some minor religious movements from whom Hinduism felt threatened.
A religion with 35 lakh Devtas can metamorphosise itself into any relgiious belief.
It was the loud protests by the Sikh intelligentsia and some other well-meaning people, that put a stop from there nefarious designs.
Badal and his co-hoots could have done anything to please the BJP.
:redturban::redturban::redturban:
Sri Chand's birthday is a holiday in Punjab. Well, in India almost everyday its a holiday coz of the birthday or death anniversary of one of the other Devtas. Though Sikhs don't follow Sri Chand but doesn't mean others also don't follow him. In India people even follow mouse, cat etc etc... So it's not surprising to hear that Sri Chand's birthday is an off day in Punjab.for the 300th Khalsa Centenary..HALF the Grant worth a few hundred KROR rupees went to RSS/BJP and Half went to badal/sgpc.....which is actually the Same "other" side of the Coin actually...the RSS used the money to infiltrate the VILLAGES and RURAL parts of Punjab...going in as RSS Rashtryah SIKH SANGAT...and Badal spent his half by supporting VIRSA SAADH of GOBIND SADAN to give the DG a HUGE BOOST..internet, translations into various langauges, printing in hundreds of thousands and sent overseas, establish Gobind sadans all over, accept and DECLARE SRI CHAND in preference over GURU ANGAD SAHIB...many dont know that SRI Chands Birthday is a PUNJAB GOVT HOLIDAY..while Guru Angad Jis Gurpurab is NOT even a Half day. Just have a look and count HOW MANY GURPURABS are Govt holiday/celebrated on Public Funds compared to all others...and the rest of the money used to MURDER the Nanaksahi calendar to wipe out Sikh Historical Days..Punjab Media go on a 24 . 7 media cmapaign to popularise Baba SRI CHAND..and gullible SIKHS dont even relaise whats happeing...Guru Angad jis succession to the House of nanak ji is being actively SABOTAGED via sri chand promotion..and the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is being SABOTAGED via the DG promotion...CUTTING the SIKH GURU LINE form BOTH ENDS...DISCARDED RUBBISH is being put in place as VALUABLE ITEMS....wake up khalsa ji before its too late...
I don't know where this Badal & family will take Sikhism. But i pray from heart that their control over Akal Takht is lifted & Akal Takht is free from political influences ...A few years back, the RSS asked for permition to keep SGGS in Hindu temples. Many gullible Sikhs, including many members of SGPC were taken-in by their sweet-talk.
These Sikhs actually argued that we should be proud that the Hindues showed such reverence and love for SGGS.

As far as Guru Angad Ji's Gurpurab is concerned, Sikhs must learn to love their Gurus 366 days a year & not only Gurpurabs. All days must be like Gurpurabs ...
