Prof. Sahib Singh - Sri Jaap Sahib Steek

[.- Prabhjot Singh -.]

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh Guru Roop Sangat Jeo,

Here is the Sri Jaap Sahib Steek by Prof. Sahib Singh. It also includes teeka of Swayiye (Sravag Sudd..) and the opening Chaupai of Sri Akaal Ustat. It is a must read, especially for those with missionary mindset as they have great regard for Prof. Sahib's work. In the foreword itself Prof. Sahib has made it absolutely clear that Sri Jaap Sahib and other banis of Sri Dasam Granth are composed by Sri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib Ji Maharaj himself.

The meanings are laid out in the 'Guru Granth Sahib Ji Darpan' style, with padd-arth (words and their .meanings) and the mool paath's exposition. Hope it is useful in some way

Could anyone shed light

I heard from missionaries that Prof. Sahib Singh didn't write the teeka that he was too old and he give the duty to someone else to write it and they used his name. Does anyone know if this is true.

Could you also upload Jap Ji teeka by Kavi Santokh Singh Ji when you have time.

The first edition preface is dated 1944. The professor was born in 1892 (according to sikhiwiki), so that makes him 52 years old in 1944 (my maths could be wrong though!). That's hardly too old. He passed away in 1977, 33 years after writing his original preface (part of which you can read here). By the time he passed away the work was on it's 7th edition.

The version shared by Prabhjot on scribd shows that in 2003 it was being published in its 17th edition!

I don't think it is an overstatement or exaggeration to state that is is quite an enduring work.

Prof Sahib Singh was from Amritsar. My cousin was studying in Khalsa school in Khalsa college premises in 1950s.

Prof Sahib Singh was his religious teacher.

Missionaries are habitual liars. Prof Sahib Singh has written many other articles on Dasam Bani.

Good point by dal singh ji.
