Bhai Binno'S Bir


Recommended Posts

You probably know that Guru Arjan Sahib Ji sent Bhai Banno Ji to Lahore to get Ad Granth Sahib Binded but when Bhai Sahib stayed in his village he add the work of mira bai. When i read this it doesn't make since why would a devout Sikh of the Guru add other works to the Bani Guru Sahib wrote. Could this story have been made up or what could be a reason to add mira bai's writing.

It is probably because he was unable to distinguish what the purpose of the Adi Granth was to be. For this reason he made no distinction of Sargun and Nigun upashna, thus he added bani of other Bhagats and Gurus that focused more ont he Isvar Upashna rather then that of the Virat Saroop.

What amazes me today how people do not understant this and because of it refer to apocraphal texts as Kachi bani when it is 'Gurbani' but not of Virat Sarup.

The Virat Saroop Upashna is universal and the Adi Granth which later became the initail recension of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is the Guru for all the Jagat universally accepted.

I think Bhai Banno knew what the purpose of Ad Granth would be because Guru Arjan Sahib trusted him with a big task of getting it bound. Also it wasn't up to Bhai Banno to decide which Bani went into the Granth or not he was given duty to get it bound. Also, you probably will remember that some bhagats came from lahore i believe who wanted there work to be included in Gurbani but Guru Arjan Sahib rejected there work.

I agree with you Singho that Bhai Banno Ji was aware of the reason for the Granth and his purpose was the binding but maybe he just found some other banis so moving he added them not realising they were not of the same sidhant. The diference is that the bani added is more to sdo with the worship of Sargun upashna. This was the same as the Bani of Kanha, Pilhu, Chaju and Shah Husaain who came from Lahore.

    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
    • Wasn't Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom on amd always commemorated on 6th June? How come it was 30th May?  Just like 6th June 84, where the likes of Terrorists like Indira Gandhi chose to attack Darbar Sahib where many many innocent Sikhs would suffer, as they went to commemorate Martyrdom of Maharaj. 
    • best thing is to follow the Sikh Rehat Maryada and use common sense for gray areas. Anything outside of that's irrelevant tbh that code is what Guru Gobind Singh Ji and the 5 Pyaare agreed on when creating Amrit in 1699
