It is the second Bani in the daily morning prayers of a Sikh. |
add Chaupai Sahib and Tva Prassad Sawaiye to that... that's right, HALF our nitnem banis come from a supposedly disputed text.
i don't know what banis these anti-dasam granth people recite.

interestingly, there was no controversy until nearly the 20th century. it has been suggested that agents of the british started the doubt about Sri Dasam Granth in order to weaken the
Sikh Panth. in the past, SGGS was considered our spiritual guide, while SDGS was considered a temporal guide, and the key to our military strength. notice that Sikhs who still practice the martial arts (damdami taksal, nihangs, AKJ) all believe in it. so striking at the Dasam Granth strikes at our martial ability, making us more vulnerable to the british.
according to SGPC it is gurbani and the 3 nitnem banis we read from it are not only approved but required.
people who have openly opposed it (like Kala Afghana) have been excommunicated by Akal Takht.
now i don't know about you, but i'd rather listen to the scholars of the panth (damdami taksal) than an excommunicated heretic.
