Is One Day Really Missing? (Ang 841-Bilawal Mahella 3 Vaar Satt Ghar 10)

Register to Remove Advertisements
Dear Sadh Sangat ji and knowledgable readers of SPN.
Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!
With the kind blessings of the Great Guru one reads His Holy Bani.

I normally read a few pages everyday in my on-going Sahaj Patth from Adi to Antt.
My aim is not to rush through but to read slowly and try to keep my mind on the subject and try and understand the meanings and enjoy the process thoroughly. Fortunately, I have done this many times and slowly and slowly my concentration is improving with the blessings of Guru Maharaj.
I was puzzled one day while reading on page number 841 "Bilawal Mahella 3 Vaar Satt Ghar 10" As I finished reading the Antt of the Vaar Satt, I felt that "Sunday" was not mentioned. I read again and realized that the Shabad starts with "Monday" and ends with "Saturday". Sunday is not explained.
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/hard-talk/35203-one-day-really-missing-ang-841-a.html
I went to the local Gurdwara and asked the Bhai Sahib to read the page in front of me. He didn’t realize that "Sunday" was missing. When I told him so, he read again and was aghast. And he read again and again and looked even more puzzled than me. The question on his tongue and mine was the same, "How can one day be missing?"
I told him that my impression is that during the turmoil following departure of Guru Gobind Singh ji and the persecution unleashed my the Mughal rulers during the time of Banda Singh Bahadur and thereafter, the Sikh were on the run. This unstable period lasted until Ahmad Shah Abdali, the raider King of Afghanistan, was repulsed and dare not come to Punjab again. Then the Sikhs went about carving their own Thanas and areas of control. Utter confusion followed and several inter-Jatha battles and amalgamations took place which culminated in the formation of the Misls and the Sikh Raj.
Since copies of Scriptures were hand written in those days, some body seems to have missed out "Sunday" while copying from another Guru Granth Sahib. Maybe there was some threat to the Jatha or to the writer and they had to pause in between and thus missed a line or a few words.
Maybe, subsequent copies of Guru Granth Sahib were prepared on the basis of that particular copy where this mistake had taken place. And the error, somehow, went unnoticed through the last three centuries.
The Bhai Sahib of the Gurdwara did not want to commit anything although his facial features and body language indicated that he was in agreement with me. He did not want to commit lest he be punished by the Guru for saying that someone has made a mistake in the Guru Granth Sahib.
If my contention is accepted for the time being, then the mistake did not take place when the first transcription of Guru Granth Sahib was written or even when Guru Gobind Singh ji edited and added his father’s Bani. It took place during the turmoil period when a Sikh’s head was valued at Rupees ten only.
I am sure, when the first transcription of Guru Granth Sahib was written, Bhai Gurdas ji would have mentioned to Guru Angad Dev ji Maharaj that "Sunday" is missing.
Or one can also say that Bhai Gurdas ji was an evolved soul and did not want to question Guru Maharaj.
On the contrary it would have been inappropriate on the part of Bhai Sahib to let such an error go uncorrected since he was an evolved soul.
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=35203
If Guru Sahib had really missed out while dictating to Bhai Gurdas ji, he would have corrected the error and mentioned in the Bani "Radd" meaning ‘cancelled’ as one can see in many portions where it says "Radd" or "Shudd Keechey" meaning ‘corrected’.
It is really difficult to say what may have happened. I am really puzzled.
Can anyone of the Gyanis throw some light on this subject?
May Guru Maharaj forgive me for anything wrong I have stated. But after all, I am a Seeker.
Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!

TejwantSingh1 ji

If one begins with the premise that the Kartarpuri Bir is authentic and complete, and that "mistakes" begin with the Banno Bir, then what you say cannot be proved. Bhai Gurdas ji would not be reticent or muddled-headed. The premise cannot be that the Adi Granth was enshrined with known errors.

Quote:
I am sure, when the first transcription of Guru Granth Sahib was written, Bhai Gurdas ji would have mentioned to Guru Angad Dev ji Maharaj that "Sunday" is missing.
Or one can also say that Bhai Gurdas ji was an evolved soul and did not want to question Guru Maharaj.
On the contrary it would have been inappropriate on the part of Bhai Sahib to let such an error go uncorrected since he was an evolved soul.
If Guru Sahib had really missed out while dictating to Bhai Gurdas ji, he would have corrected the error and mentioned in the Bani "Radd" meaning ‘cancelled’ as one can see in many portions where it says "Radd" or "Shudd Keechey" meaning ‘corrected’.
Whether there are recorded cases of deliberate and nefarious tinkering with Ang 841, or whether this is only a printer's error... It is important that our discussion not be swayed away from the unquestionable coherence and integrity of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

In the controversies surrounding Professor Pashura Singh, many ancillary documents came to light. Many are disputed. We know that the Adi Granth in the form of the Kartarpui Bir is complete. Guru Arjan Dev placed his signature on each and every page that was used. Additional pages to accommodate more bani as needed were set in as extras and numbered. In that way nothing could be added and nothing could be taken away. A systematic comparison of the Kartarpuri Bir with questionable birs by Dr. Daljit Singh is at this link.

http://www.sikhcoalition.org/Sikhism18.asp

Had any deviations resulted from hand-written copies. Here is an eye opening chapter from Professor Sahib Singh's "Compilation of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji (Chapter 10 beginning on page 134). See attached document


There were hand written copies taken from the Bhai Banno bir. Problems and inconsistencies are identified, as the professor stated in the chapter
Quote:
Variations between the original copy of the Guru Granth and Bhai Banno's rescension
. You will find that the "old handwritten copies" according to Professor Sahib have given rise to numerous and divisive arguments. I have attached the opening paragraphs. Personally, I hope to learn from the ensuing discussion, of one of my favorite topics. I thank you for raising the question.

Re: Is One Day Really Missing? (Ang 841-Bilawal Mahella 3 Vaar Satt Ghar 10)

A scribe who was not familiar with the methodology used by Guru Arjan Dev in the Kartarpuri Bir, might omit a portion of a shabad, that was indeed included in the margins of a page of the original bir, correctly numbered, but not in sequence with its related vaars. Furthermore, it is well known that spurious additions to the Banno bir were made, and also to copies of the Banno bir. A hand written recension of the Banno Bir might also omit portions of shabad, and that would not at all be surprising:

Why would portions of a shabad appear to be "missing?"
  • The use of hartal to erase mistakes, and then rewriting a portion of the shabad in the margin
  • Correcting an error by writing a missing section in the margins of the bir

As described by Daljit Singh

Quote:
(f) Another feature of the Kartarpuri Bir is the scores of pages where the original writing has been obliterated by Hartal, and later at those very places bani has been written. Sometimes the space accommodating a whole sabad or hymn, has been cleaned with Hartal and new bani rewritten at the place, e.g. at pages 840/1,870/2, 966/1,and 966/2. Had the Kartarpuri Bir been a copy of the original, such a large number of places requiring the need of scoring out or rubbing or cleaning with hartal could never have arisen.

(b) There are numerous instsance where sabads, saloks and a part of the bani, have been written in the margin, evidenty, because in each case the bani appears to have been found or collected later, and there being no place on the relevant page, it had to be recorded in the margin. In some cases the bani has been given the proper serial number and the numbers of the subsequent bani adjusted. But, in some cases numbers following them have remained uncorrected, and the bani in the margin has been given the same number as the salok or sabad after which it has to be read. These incongruities are so large in numbers and the bani has been written in the margin at so many places that all this could happen only in the original, because either of the late collection of the bani, or the scribe, Bhai Gurdas, having omitted to record it in its right sequence or place. For example, at page 154/2, 252/1, 364/1, 694/1, 945, 182, 946/1, 148/2, 374/2, etc. additional bani has been written in the margins. At pages 940/1,940/2, etc. the bani recorded in the margins has been given the same number as borne by one of the sabad on the page. Again, on page 251/1,265/2, 266/2,399/2,252/1,499/2,689/2,690/1, 842/2,841/2, etc., portions of the bani have been written in the margin, and a mark given at the relevant place on the page to show where the marginal portion should be read.
This is based on the research of Dr. Jodh Singh and reported at http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/histor...rpuri-bir.html

A copyist working years after the installation of the Adi Granth might miss these historical signposts completely. A copyist working from an inauthentic bir would never know. It is very difficult to give the benefit of the doubt to an authorized or genuine copy of the Kartarpuri Bir that would contain such mistakes.

Re: Is One Day Really Missing? (Ang 841-Bilawal Mahella 3 Vaar Satt Ghar 10)

The Historical tardition being passed down about how the banno Bir came about is that Bhai banno was given / undertook the responsibility of BINDING the POTHI SAHIB at LAHORE. On the way to lahore..he took a DETOUR to his village, and there he got prepared a COPY of the Original Pothi Sahib and after BINDING BOTH of them, he returned to Amrtisar where Guru Arjun ji discovere that Bhai banno had ADDED unauthorised banis/shabads to his COPY. Guru Arjun ji immediately issued an INJUNCTION...Bhai banno - YOU have added SALT into the sweet Ambriosal nectar. From henceforth YOUR COPY of the Pothi Sahib will be called KHAREE BEER (salty)..

2. Now the question in my mind is why would copyists even take the trouble to make copies of a REJECTED copy ?..unless that was the intention anyway...

3. Also note that Guru Arjun ji just gave his comment - Kharee Bir and stopped at that. Had he been like todays "Jathedars" he would have undoubtedly EX-communicated Bhai Banno and BURNED his bir.

4. It has also been debated that Guru Arjun ji just had this ONE copy of the Pothi sahib completed after a long ardous period time and expense...why would he just pass this invaluable one only manuscript to anyone to take to lahore to bind it ? Amritsar was a growing city by then..surely it had competent binders ? It does sound odd. Guru ji could jst call nay of the best binders to come bind the pothi in amritsar.

Giani Jarnail Singh is right. I was looking for Sunday after Saturday.
The confusion took place because the ancient word "Aadit Vaar" is not used nowadays.

Gianiji, thank you for enlightening me.
