Can hukamnama be taken from Sri Dasam Granth Sahib!


Recommended Posts

Some people say that hukamnama cannot be taken from Sri Dasam Granth Sahib as it never got Gurgaddi.

But when parkash of Guru Granth Sahib(then called Aad Granth) was done in Harmandir Sahib around 1604 AD, hukamnama was taken. We all know Guru Granth Sahib got gurgaddi in 1708AD and not in 1604AD. So does it proof that hukamnama can be taken from Dasam Granth Sahib?

People shouldn't be so technical! 

If something deep inside you is attracting you to the DG, feel entirely free to open it up at random and see what you can learn from it!

Share it with us on the forum too. It would be nice  if it was translated and we could compare a translation to the original text. 

There is no ban on doing this. 

Some people might make  some argument about doing this in the evening because some tradition has formed around not reading Chandhi Ki Vaar after sunset. But go for it, if that's what you want to do.

Spirit of Guru Nanak doesn't live in Sri dasam granth sahib . So I wouldn't suggest someone to take hukamnama from Dasam granth sahib.

Also gurbani was always called "pothi - parmesar da thaan" even since times of Guru Nanak. What Guru Gobind Singh ji did in 1708 was merely a formality , albeit an important one.

I have a very emotionally close-to-heart relationship with hukamnamas . 2 years back , after years of being agnostic , it were hukamnamas "answer to my prayers" which actually came true in real world and rebinding my sharda to guru sahib .

Since then , I always turn towards guru sahib for tedious life questions. 

Whenever I pray to SGGS, I know , spirit of Guru nanak is in there . The jyot that moved through 10 bodies is still inside . It never left us . We never became orphans . I think that sharda is of paramount importance, more so than the ardas we do before taking hukamnama.

I sometimes wonder why dasam pita chose to keep his bani outside dasam granth. 

Few most likely reasons :

1) Sri Guru Granth sahib was already compiled by Guru Gobind Singh ji when they recited it to Bhai Mani singh who then compiled the damdami sahib bir we have today (1430 angs) . Since mundavani (seal) is the final shabad coming in SGGS , it was impossible to add dasam bani in it . Also due to numbering system of gurbani , its not possible to insert in between . So only reliable way was to compile dasam bani in separate granth 

2) Dasam baani has bir rass in addition to adhyatmik rass. So perhaps Guru ji felt it necessary to keep it separate from nirol adhyatmik ras of SGGS. Its not "mahalla 10va" , its "patshahi 10vi"

    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
