Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

Daas came across this article written by Kamaljeet Singh Khalsa Shaheedsar regarding Parkash of Sri Dasam Granth Sahib. Please don't let this topic create conflicts. The purpose of posting this is give a perspective from GurSikhs who believe that Parkash of Sri Dasam Granth Sahib is important.

Bhul chuk maaf kario.

Here is Bhai Sahib's article:

Subject: Dasam Parkash

Waheguru ji Ka Khalsa

Waheguru ji ki fateh

Today Sikh Panth is being attacked by its enemies on two fronts, and if we dont act soon,both can damage the fabric of Khalsa panth severely. One is the Deh-dhaari Guru-dumm, sponsored by some Anti-sikh powers and other is ppl who are in Sikhi Baana but dont believe in panthic maryada and Baani of Sri Dasam Granth Sahib ji. Actually there is no vivaad amongst Sikhs regarding Baani, but some people who don't want unity and Charhdi Kala of Panth always rake up this issue. and we need to answer both these Enemies of panth at Same time, coz both of them have the same ultimate mission of finishing Sikhs as a Panth and dividing us in small parts, which will never re-unite to raise their heads against established tyrannies.

I've been questioned by many Singhs, who do believe in Baani of Sri Dasam Granth, but have been confused by misguiding parchar of Panthdokhis, regarding parkash of Sri Dasam granth Sahib ji.Today we'll discuss about this Maryada in Sikhi which is not an issue but is being raked up as an ''Issue'' to divide Sikhs.

When Guru Nanak Dev ji was asked by Siddhs as Sumer Parbat(Mount Kailash) who was his Guru, Maharaj ji replied ''Shabad Guru''. At one place , maharaj ji tells abt his Guru as

'' Apranpar Paar-Brahm Parmeshar,Nanak Gur Milya soyi jeeo''.

What Maharaj ji stated to the world was that One Lord Akaal is His Guru and he is Shabad roop.

Guru Gobind Singh ji stated the same truth in his Baani Chaupai Sahib ''

Aad Ant Eke avtaara,

Soi Guru Samjheyo Hamaara!

Guru Nanak's and Guru Gobind Singh ji's Guru was One, One Akaal Roop, Shabad roop Waheguru! So what is the Title, duty,value of Our Ten Gurus?? How are they Gurus??

Yes, they are Gurus, coz they carried Shabad in their Bodies, They were one with Shabad. Their physical bodies were respected because they gave message of One Lord Akaal purakh through them.! So in reality, Ultimate Guru is Shabad, but the Deh, the body which carries that Shabad is also worshippable , respectable.

This Small Vichaar is enough to explain why Sri Dasam Granth Sahib ji is respected and worshipped by Sikhs.

Lets move to one very important chapter of Sikh History!

On 30th August 1604, Guru Arjan dev ji did first parkash of Adi- Granth in Sri Harimandir sahib. Saroop of Adi Granth Sahib ji was brought by Maharaj ji to Sri harimandir sahib from raamsar.Baba Budda ji was carrying the saroop, and Guru arjan dev ji was doing chaur di sewa. Amazing! Why was Guru doing Chaur di sewa on a Book which is not Guru??

Then Guruji reaches Harimandir Sahib and here a Peerha Sahib is ready with beautiful rumalle for Adi Granth Sahib ji. Granth Sahib ji is placed on Peerha sahib and Baba Budda ji does Parkash of Granth.( here we have to under stand the meaning of parkash. it means TO OPEN. Unless u open a Gutka Sahib or a Book, how will u read sumthing from it.) After Parkash Baba Budda ji took Hukamnaama from Aadi-Granth. And during all this time , Guru Arjan Dev ji was sitting with Sangat on floor. IN the night when time for rest came, Guru arjan dev ji started the maryada of Sukh-asan of Granth Sahib ji. He slept on the floor, and Holy Granth was placed on the Bed where earlier Guruji used to sleep.

Time went by and Guruji had to give his Shaheedi, 6th Guru, Guru hargobind Maharaj sat on Gur-gaddi but the maryada of Sewa of Granth Sahib ji continued un-interrupted. Guru-jyot kept changing its physical form, but maryada was same during all gurus regarding sewa of Granth Sahib ji. Now question arises Why did Guru Arjan dev ji and other Gurus Placed Granth Sahib ji on Peerha Sahib higher than them,sat themselves in sangat, did alll the sewa, parkash, sukhasan, Chaur sahib on Granth Sahib ji when it was not having title of GURU?

Answer to these questions is the answer to Maryada of sewa of Sri Dasam Granth Sahib. When Bhai Mani SIngh ji and Baba Deep Singh ji compiled Baani of Guru Gobind SIngh ji Maharaj, they had example of Guru Arjan dev ji in front. Thats why they gave all the respect, which should be given to Baani of Gurus, To Sri Dasam Granth Sahib ji., because they were not like today's Nindaks, who doubted baani . They believed every word to be of Guru Gobind SIngh ji,and therefore stood for Baani's honour.

Like Guru Nanak Dev ji and ten Gurus are respected aand worshipped because they held the HOLY Shabad in them, Like Guru Granth Sahib ji was respected even before getting Guru Gaddi, Sri Dasam Granth Sahib ji is also respected because it Beholds the Shabad in it. This article is not for those who question the very authenticity of Dasam Baani, its for those who consider it Baani but are confused whether we should do its Parkash and do Matha-tek. Some questions...

1. If Guru Arjan dev ji, being Guru can place Adi Granth(which contained baanis of Gurus, Sants, Bhagats, gursikhs, Bhatts) on a higher level than his, Do u think Guru Granth Sahib ji might ne having a problem with Baani of Guru Gobind Singh ji being respected and worshipped same way??

2. If only Guru has the right to sit on Palki, Takhat, Gaddi,Why did Guru Arjan dev ji Maharaj do parkash of Aadi-Granth on palki??

3. If Guru Arjan Dev ji , being Guru, can do Chaur sahib on Granth Sahib ji, Why cant we sikhs do same to Baani of Guru Gobind Singh ji Maharaj Also?

4. How will we read Dasam Baani if we dont do Parkash of Sri Dasam Granth Sahib ji?( parkash means to open)

5. If people dont want Sri Dasam Granth to be placed on Peerha Sahib or Palki Sahib, Then what are the options we have?? Either we put it on Raal, which is not big enough for a 1428 ang Granth or second option is we put it on Floor. So Whats the best option out of Three??

6.If Sri Dasam Granth Sahib ji's parkash cannot be done with Guru Granth Sahib ji, why is Baani of Dasam Granth printed in Same Gutka Sahibs which have Baani of Guru Granth Sahib ji? Are we doing a Paap by printing Baani of Both Granths in One Gutka Sahib?

Should Baani of Nitnem be Separated?? Should Baani of Dasam Granth not be read in Guru Granth Sahib ji's presence?? If Baani can be read, then why the Granth Having that baani not be kept with Maharaj ji??

Pyareo, Dasam granth is always placed on left hand side of Sanctum sanctorum at Takhats or at Left Hand side of Guru Granth Sahib ji at Taksal or Nihang Chaunis. Its for respect of Guru Granth Sahib ji ,showing superiorty of Guru Granth Sahib ji. Dont we do parikarma of Maharaj with keeping Guruji on our Right hand. Ever thought why we do that??

Khalsa ji, look for answers, and do mail me if u think i'm wrong on any point. Its not abt 'Guru' khalsa ji, i'm sure my Guru Granth Sahib ji is never angry and will never be angry if we respect our Guru Gobind Singh ji's Baani in his holy presence. Sri Dasam Granth has been reffered to as ''Chota Granth ji'' in history books, like younger brother of Guru and today ppl are making them look like two opponents who r fighting it out. Plz wake up, and stand up for respect of Sri Dasmesh Pita's Baani! Unite Khalsa ji, the day we unite, these Pakhandis, our outer enemies will just vanish in air, they'll not be seen around,then only we can together strive for a Strong and Prosperous Sikh Nation. Have faith on Baani. Our History has everything, just search it and u'll find every tradition we are following is from time of Gurus, taught by Gurus themselves and not by sum Bahmans.

Lets Pray for charhdi kala of panth, respect Baani, whether it is in Guru Granth Sahib ji or Sri Dasam Guru Granth Sahib ji. There was a time, Sri Dasam Granth was parkash at all the four Takhats and at panjva Takhat Chalda vaheer. The Day SGPC stopped doing it at the Takhats controlled by it, our Charhdi kala has taken a halt. Lets unite and try our best to restore the honour of Our Guru Gobind singh Ji Sache Patshah Maharaj ji's Baani. He did so much for us, what are we doing for honour of his Baani. We pray and hope a day will come, when Parkash of Sri Dasam Guru Granth Sahib ji will be done at all the Takhats again. Till then, our struggle will continue.

Akaaal ji Sahai

Mahakaal Ji Sahai

Thanks for the article.

It would be good if the "reformers" would stop demanding parkash to stop at Hazur Sahib and Patna Sahib.

It seems counterproductive to try to force changes in parkash of Dasam Granth.

On the other hand, it also seems counterproductive to try to force parkash of Dasam Granth in neighborhood Gurdwaras where there isn't now.

The status quo seems just fine, for now.

All takhatas have parkash of weapons at central podium. Parkash of SGGS ji on the side

Akal takhat is no exception.

Akal takhat had parkash of Dasam Granth till 1944. In my view we are paying the price of removing its parkash by some senseless people.

Can someone anser this question - When Guru Gobind Singh Ji complied Sri Guru Granth Sahib, why did he not include Dasam Granth Bani in there?

That Guru sahib knows best. It does not diminish his writings status whether these are contained in SGGS ji or not.

In theory we have two granths but have one in practice. The system has been wronged by some when they drafted sikh rehat maryada.

Its price we are paying now.
