Prof. Darshan Singh

[ISDhillon]

Paonta Sahib was a place where the 10th guru had 52 court poets including nand lal etc, they used to write poetry with the guru and these were collated into a volume, alot of the volume was destroyed when anandpur was attacked, I would not ascribe all literature in dasam granth to be personally from the guru but would state that dasam granth is a work under the gurus patronage. Dasam granth is not to be classed as gurbani as it is not given that authority, it seems to related the dialectic sublime of the 10th guru to indias composite heritage. I think Professor Darshan Singh Ji should apologise or refrain from making such statements in future.

Dhillon ji

The compositions of court poets was in a separate granth called Vidyasagar Granth.When Anandpur sahib was under siege poets were asked by guru ji to leave and they did.

Vidyasagar Granth was lost to inflated sirsa river.Compositions of Guru sahib was compiled by Bhai Mani singh ji in Dasam Granth.To interpret dasam Granth apart from Braj bhasha one should have knowledge of Punjabi,Hindi,Sanskrit and persian/Neither Darshan singh nor kala afghana has that.

Actually the original name of dasam granth has been: Smudsagar / Avtarlila / Vidyasagar Granth/Vidyadar Granth / Bachitar Natak /Satsai Granth

Dasam granth became a recension of what was salvaged through warfare in fact it was never a whole entity in its own right, its first recension was named after how much it weighed. Some say the reason why Bhai Mani singh was cut limb from limb is because he seperated the first recension and was advised that his angs would also be severed.

Kind regards,

Indsta

Response

Bachtira natak Granth became Dasma padhshah da granth and later Dasam Granth.Other Granths you have mentioned are different.

This is crazy panth goes even into a deeper hole

Only the name changed.Contents remained same.I see nothing wrong in that.

Remarks on Dasam Granth

Warning to Akal Takht former Jathedar

Tribune News Service

Amritsar, January 23

Panthic organisations and gurdwaras in Canada warned former Jathedar of Akal Takht Darshan Singh for making slanderous remarks against the ‘Bani’ of Guru Gobind Singh and other Sikh scriptures.

In an e-mail to The Tribune here today by 16 Panthic organisations and gurdwaras from the greater Toronto area said a meeting was held in Toronto last Saturday and noted the former Jathedar had criticised the Bani of Guru Gobind Singh compiled in Dasam Granth along with the vaars of Bhai Gurdas ji II.

It said last week, the Akhand Kirtani Jatha, with support from various Panthic organisations challenged Darshan Singh for a debate with Sikh scholars on the authenticity of Dasam Granth. However, the he has not indicated whether he would accept the offer to debate with the scholars on this subject, it added. It further said Darshan Singh was not allowed to utilise the stages of the majority of the gurdwaras in the region, due to his past anti-Panthic activities.

Darshan singh ragi is busy now speaking against Dasam Granth.He has turned his face from his previous life.

What a double standard.
