Yes that was original Granth by Guru Arjan Dev in 1604. The original one still exists. 10th Guru added 116 hymns of his father. This is called copy of Damdama and declared Guru.  

Isn't there Adi Granth as well?

1) Guru Granth Sahib with 5,894 hymns. (Note this Granth was given Guruship). It has 1430 pages. Granths by Guru Gobind Singh :-  2) Dasam Granth with 17,293 verses in 1428 pages. 3) Sarbloh Granth in 4,361 stanzas 862 pages in print. There are number of other works by various poets like Suraj Parkash, Bhai Gurdas and Nand Lal.

Man just learn boxing or take a shastar training. You don't have a 2 foot talwar or khanda in 2025's Western World. Today ur either gonna get stabbed (uk), shot (America) or attacked by a meth head (Punjab) in street fights. By the time u draw the sword that guy's got you on the floor probably searching your Kacherra for coins lol Only good thing he did was the Loh Mushti video (boxing with the kara as a knuckleduster) but even then just get a normal knuckleduster if you can. Though before ANYTHING any Sikh interested in martial arts has to train two things as the bare minimum: UNARMED FIGHTING (boxing preferably) and KIRPAN TRAINING. Loh Mushti is good but only when you lost ur kirpan somehow in a fight (which shouldn't rlly happen if you train on how to use it. If the bad guys wanna use knives n guns then the Khalsa who's here to stop em has to better at their own game than them. NO Sikh in America has an excuse not to own a gun, and if their state allows public carry they should be the first to accept it.

Sikhs have missed the point: Shastar Vidhiya means "the science of (hand-held) weapons", not just the style nihangs do or gatka. Gatka and "shastar vidhiya" are "bad" for 2 reasons: You can't actually practice them properly cos its deadly. Same issue with karate; you can't free spar full force with traditional techniques cos someone'd probably die, so its impracticality goes unchecked. But boxing spars full force, so you know what works. And if you ever do have to defend someone w gatka and the thug has a stick too (unlikely) you wouldn't know how to take a full force hit cos in training you had to take it light. That one hit will shake you more than you realise and probably make u lose if ur not used to it.  You likely don't carry a 2 foot sword/gatka stick in the West unless going to training. And a thug doesn't either; he's got a knife (uk) or a gun (USA . Gatka may beat knife, but even field hockey sticks will beat someone with a normal knife cos of reach, gatka di lorh nhi haegi specifically. But if they got a gun, the only defence is quicker draw time and better aim (which you'll learn at shooting class, never at gatka) Basically, Guru Gobind Singh Ji told us to learn "the science of weapons" to defend people, but we train an art with a weapon nobody carries today (nobody takes a gatka stick when they step out to get atta) and one that we can never spar with fully and thus we don't even know what it feels like to get hit with it properly. If you train to preserve history or perform shows, then that's fine. But it's NOT part of a Sikh's military training anymore and won't help you much in fights (for which we must be "tyaar by tyaar" , always ready).  (PS: Gatka may have a few skills like movement and observation that can help in fights, but all its practical stuff like that is also in MMA, plus much more. Nothing that's exclusive to arts like gatka will help practically).
