Help Preserve One Of The Oldest Guru Granth Sahib

[BhagatBalmik]

I wanted to bring this to the sangats attention.

One of the oldest Guru Granth Sahib Ji needs preserving its going to cost total 35,000 with digitzing it. Year: 1730 to 1750

one of the main features of the Saroop is it contains

Puraatan maryada in relation to the Akhand Path Sahib of Guru Granth Sahib Ji is also exhibited within this Saroop, {symbols drawn from saffron a bhog ceremony which has since been abondoned} of which more research will be forthcoming.

a list of all ingredients used in preparing the ink {shai viddi} which the scribes have used, an usual feature for puraatan granths..

Following this report the Sri Guru Granth Sahib has been examined and evaluated by our head scholar Giani Rann Singh ji head Giani Of Sant Samaaj and Tarnadal. It has been established that this is infact is a complete Saroop of Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji and it is believed to be aproximatley 250 to 270 years old.

The PCA is an established organisation which has served the Panjabi community for the last ten years. It consists of academic and students alike. PCA has never claimed that Giani Rann Singh is our head scholar, we actually have a number of scholars who work with us.

Can we all worry about saving this Saroop instead of fighting. If any of you dont trust the orgainsation donate directly at the university. I hope we dont miss a chance to save a purtan saroop.

The saroop is actually a lot older than 1730 AD to 1750 AD, I am not sure where you got this information from. Its actually from between 1650 AD - 1690 AD.

After This saroop is preserved which gurdwara will this be placed in?

Wahe Guru ji ka Khalsa Wahe Guru Ji ki Fateh

When the British annexed the Panjab in the Anglo Sikh Wars many of the Granths and other relics were brought over the UK. Many of these are in Museums and Libraries across the world.

None of these institutions will give back these relics to the Panjab or any Gurdwara. We have to make sure where we see Saroops and other items in neglect to preserve them as best as possible with these insititutions. Also thre is no Sikh museum based in the UK which has the expertise to look after these important works. But there is one being started in the Midlands hopefully this will fufill this need.

GS Mann Sir, can you give any more details about the Sikh musuem in the mids,i havent heard anything about it.

And what is next after the Saroop Sahib has been restored? I take it that Maharaj will be parkash or sukhasan in an appropriate sachkhand?

Also why as a community accepting that our GURU is being treated like a book in so many museums? We should not rest until all saroops are with the panth.

They are still finalising the plans when it has been been passed... it will be made public.
