This book is available in the market. It is not expensive.It is always better to get it and read it yourself. If you have any clarification

those can be raised and sangat can help .That will help you more.

A Brief introduction about Sri Guru Sobha

Sri Gur Sobha was completed in 1711. Kavi Sainapat , its writer, was one of the court poets of Guru Gobind Singfh ji.

Language and pattern of writing is same as of Dasam Granth sahib.Quite a few verses of Sri Guru Shobha are copied from Dasam Granth sahib.

A few verses are same as found in Dasam Granth sahib such as Bachitra natak.Some verses are written on exact pattern of Nihklanki avtar of Dasam Granth sahib.

This shows that court poet of Guru sahib had tried to follow writing style of Guru sahib's writings in Dasam Granth.

Old books go out of print with time. In twentieth century Akali kaur singh found manuscripts of sri guru sobha.

Finally Dr Ganda singh got the book published.

Dr Ganda singh has not changed anything.He has given footnotesgiving his opinion what was in the original text and what he thinks per his

knowledge from other books such as Gurmat sudhakar and Gurmat martand of bhai kahan singh nabha etc.

That's brilliant Kam - my copy was 'borrowed' and never returned - and it is nigh on impossible to buy another copy (I've tried India Canada US & UK) . I look forward to getting a digital version. Where will it be available ?

A Million Thanks in advance mate !!

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
