Proof that Hanuman Natak was taught in Guru jee's time

[shastarSingh]

Hanuman Natak was written by Hirday Raam Bhalla. This granth was gifted to Dasmesh Pita by bhai nand lal ji. Guru jee liked it very much and got it written in Gurmukhi Alphabet.

Guru jee used to keep this granth in His kamarkassa and used to say that whoever will read this granth will become a warrior.

Hanuman Natak is not part of Dasam Granth but is a separate granth and in puratan sampardas, its santhiya is given before giving the santhiya of Dasam Granth Ji.

Ratan Singh Bhangu wrote Hanuman Natak in 1824 AD. This manuscript is present in Punjab University Chandigarh.

In this manuscript, Bhangu writes that his elder brother Kuir Singh was taught Hanuman Natak by a Brahman named Panjaba who in turn was taught by Saina Singh (Sainapat), the poet and scribe in the Guru’s Court, who was taught its santhiā by Pandit Devi Das (court poet of Dasmesh Pita).
