Jaap Sahib, Chaupai, and tavprasaad swaiyee can not be considered gurbani. Guru sahib has not given these banis gurgaddi. Rather they are writings which are accepted by the panth and considered authentic. If these writings are to be considered gurbani they were to be included in Guru Granth sahib ji. Guru sahib did not, The true guru is Guru Granth sahib ji.

Every Sikh should abide by Panthic maryada which is in the form of sri akal takht reyat maryada until if any further changes occur.


And this is to shereb:

It does matter who came first as per dasam granth! Dasam granth mentions it so why shouldn't it matter to us? If you care to read bachitaar natak please do so and look for yourself. History is history believe it or not.

Guru nanak came 1st, guru angad came 2nd etc... this does matter to us because of the fact that gurbani mentions of which guru wrote the bani whem for ex: M:5 etc. So should we even bother to learn what guru is 1st 2nd 3rd 4th... 10th? We do and we should do so for this as well as claimed by yoursellf that my guru wrote this autobiography and granth.

If you go through shri Guru Granth sahib ji it gives various examples of some jung deeya varran which were being circulated around the times of the gurus between people. Guru sahib used these examples as metaphor to convey his messege to the sikhs of those times. If we dont aquire that history we as sikhs right now won't be able to understand that bani so history is very important in some area of gurbani.
