Justosh JI, That is an assumped mistake and illusion-that Guru Gobind singh Ji "wrote"the "dasam" kitab!
I have repeatedly claimed very loudly that it was not written by the Guru sahib many times; and so have writers greater than us minions!
Guru sahib left their worldy abode in 1708.That book did not appaear in the form of dasam granth until about the mid 1850s titled as dasam patshah da Granth!
The first rumblings allegedly containing the writings of book called bachiter natak appeared about 8 years after the shahidi of Bhai Mani singh in about 1746, in the form of a binded book, called bachitter natak!
Who binded this into a book, no one knows.
What is known is that Bhai Mani singh was collecting litrature written by and related to Guru Gobind Singh ji-these days erroneously refered to as "bani".
Eight years after Bhai mani singh was martyred this book made an appearance.Pls read my article and some others.THESE FACTS have not been denied nor countered.
I personally believe, that someone advertently with an objective or perhaps inadvertently collected all the material that was perhaps lying in Bhai Mani Singh room/posession and binded it togother, little realsing the subsequent consequences of the their own actions!It is also possible anti sikh forces especially the brahmanwaadi Nirmala and udasi sadhs did this on purpose to keep link with their brahmanwad origins!
A point to understand and consider is that not many people were educated in thoise days to understand what really this book contained!I also believe the word granth has been wrongly used here.Any large book is grnath to sikhs, when it should have been reserved specially foir the Guru Granth sahib.That is a language issue.
The book then went through various stages of names, bachitter natak, samund sagar, Vidya sagar, Dasmesh pita da "granth" to Dasam "Granth" to currently being refered to as sriguru dasam "granth".[Bachittar Natak Daswen Patshah ka Granth Dasam Granth Sri Dasam Granth Sri Dasam Granth Sahib Sri Dasam Guru Granth Sahib]
The contents too were changed as they went along.There were no two copies that were similar.However, around 1920s the Panthic learned sat up a committee and made some changes and divided it into its current form.
Simple question is, having gone through so many changes in a short time, what gurantee is that the original writings are still the same?
To answer the questions over the jaap sahib & akal Ustat ...let me share with all of you an instance, which I have refered to in the past.In abt 2007/08, Giani Joginder Singh Vedanti was in the presence of a few panthic scholars in Gravesend.I am a minion compared to them.One of them raised this issue about jaap sahib and it's position during khande bate da pahul sanskaar...all vedanti ji could say was"...bas Ji bas, karo, gal nu ethe hi band kardo!Nahi te sare panth da pishla 300 sala ithass ethe hi khatam ho javega"!
Please work out, why was such said?I have sat and wondered since then many times...what could be the reasons and consequences?In my mind it goes through, but I dont have any other evidence to back up.
The solution for sikhs is very simple if we sincerely wish to try and end this revolving controversy.The standards have been sat already by the Guru Granth sahib.If, the contents of anything does not meet against the standards of Guru Granth sahib, then that cannot be worth as authentic sikh literature.Anything outside the Guru Granth sahib is certainly NOT the bani.If Guru Gobind singh did NOT see appropriate to add his authentic writings in the Guru Granth sahib, then who are we to do so against his instructions;or even refer to it as bani?Then it remains simply as writings!
If we can arise out of the depth of kachi bani formula,that seems to be ingrained into our minds.. many things would become simpler and clearer to define and understand;esspecially if we all study Guru Granth sahib carefully; instead of listening as 3rd hand or 4th hand information about the so called dasam kitab...from derawadi babas!
