  3. Wahe Guru Ji Ka Khalsa Wahe Guru Ji Ki Fateh

    I would like to personally thank Sikh Sangat and especially the Sikh Sangat Radio team in the broadcast of the programme. Satnam Singh worked hard in making the event a bigger success by making the programme available online.

    Please see my video of the event

  4. Something additional to add to this is that the Vidyiasagar(Ocean of Knowledge) was the works of the Gurus and the Kavis that was lost in the River Sirsa and not Sri Dasam Granth Sahib as some people claim, There are fragments of Vidyiasagar still available today. Somebody needs to collect these works and bring this out into the public domain.

  5. Wahe Guru ji Ka Khalsa Wahe Guru Ji Ki fateh


    1. There is no manuscripts i am aware of that detail the political inclinations of the Khalsa. To get a complete picture on needs to go through Sri Dasam Granth Sahib, Sri Sarabloh Granth, followed by the Rehatnamas. There are numerous texts from Guru Sahibs time which go into Sikh history.


    2. The manuscripts i have detailed are verified and are listed in the essay where they are kept.


    3. The Kavis spoke on different themes the main research in this area was undertaken by Piara Singh Padam in his Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji de Darbari Ratan.There is other non published work in this area as well. I don't think there is a complete list but Padam list's most of them. Unfortunately nobody has looked at this great treasure of the Durbar. Until there is a team of people translating these works they remain in the background. The website www.bhainandlal.com covers some of the works.


    Most of the Kavis praised Guru Gobind Singh ji and this gives us details on the mutual respect by the Guru and by the Kavis.
  6. The Anandpuri bir of Guru Gobind Singh was kept at Amritsar: Akal Takht Sahib and then moved to Bombay as to what GPS says.

    There is only a handful of people who have ever seen it.

    A photograph appears in Sri Dasam Granth Sahib Q and A:

    I have seen a copy of the whole birh in a private collection.The original cannot be located but it was last seen was in Chandigarh

    The findings and analysis of this manuscript will be in The Granth Of Guru Gobind Singh: Essay, lectures and Translations.

    Thanks Singh ji

    15 years in the game and i am hungry to find gems day in and out regarding Sikh history and heritage.

    My worry is that why is nobody like me,,,or even better than me ,,,where did we lose the idea we cannot read?

    We all need to wake up everyday and say have i done anything worthwhile,

    When there is silence.... certain movements take over and then we can only blame overselves.

  10. Wahe Guru Ji Ka Khalsa Wahe Guru Ji ki Fateh

    Leading up to the forthcoming programme on Sri Dasam Granth Sahib on the Sikh Channel here is a article showing that the same sources of Sikh history that are employed to justify Guru Granth Sahib are the ones that show the importance of Sri Dasam Granth Sahib.

    This article was written for the Sikh Magazine Sant Sipahai and published in March 2010.

    Sri Dasam Granth Q and A was just the beginning. The Second book is awaiting completion and will hopefully be out a the end of the year or 2013. That will cover the history of the Sri Dasam Granth Sahib, including translations, history, British accounts, relics of Guru Gobind Singh ji and much, much more.

    My forthcoming book on the British and the Sikhs may cover some themes you mentioned. If you want me to write some specific posts on my blog them PM me.
