Re: Punj Granthi

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki fateh.

IMHO Punj Granthi/Das Granthi/Bai Varaan are small POTHIS of the various Banis from Guru Granth Shib Jee in order of learning curve. These were created by Bhai mani Singh Ji Shaheed as an aid to learning of Gurbani Paath as obviously a learner cannot be expected to learn paath straight away from the GuRu sahib jee saroop.

The Panj Granthi is the first pothi and begins with japji Sahib, Rehras, Asa di waar, Sukhmani Sahib, Dakhnee Ongkar....and so on

The "Dass Granthi" is bani of Guru Gobind Singh Ji and has Jap Sahib, swiyas and so on
The "Bai Varaan" pothi has all the 22 Vaars in the Guru Granth sahib Jee

The "Bhagat Bani" is the last Pothi in this series and has all the Bhagat bani together in one pothi.

There is also a sakhi that purports to say that Bhai Mani Singh Ji Shaheed was "cut from limb to limb...actually joint by joint...BECAUSE he did the "sacrilege" of "cutting up" Guru Granth Ji limb by limb !! This is PREPOSTEROUS. Here we have a great scholar making an effort to make the learning and study of Gurbani paath easier....and we put the blame for his shedee on this. Then the question arises ( and we just IGNORE IT)..IF Bhai mani Singh was indeed sacrilegeous to gurbani and suffered a horrible death due to this...THEN WHY DO WE CONTINUE to USE the "broken up" bani in the POTHIS ?? Are we NOT committing the SAME "WRONG/BLUNDER " we blame Bhai mani Singh Ji. Secondly Bhai mani Singh was "cut from joint by joint"..then WHY are we NOT PUNISHED for comitting the same crime ??
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=451
In olden days, the "clever folks" invented such sakhis....and the rest just beleived everything these kathakars/storytellers said/told them.....NOW the situation is different. It is the 21st Century...the age of Computers and internet/enlightenment...people are prone to question and judge for themselves...no one swallows anything hook-line-and sinker anymore. Before when the sants/derawallahs teachers of gurbani....related this sakhi to their students....and then USED the SAME POTHIS to teach the paath...no student had the audacity to question the "brahmgiani sant baba ji...as to this self contradiction....but now serious students of gurbani cannot just accept everything without solid proof and valid arguments.

In that case, this seems to be very important step, and should be applied even today. However, we are hearing this for the first time, and looks like these writings are already ignored/getting_extinct!

Gyani ji,

Though you gave some idea of what these pothies contain, I am curious to know the exact contents wherever you have said '... and so on'

Do you mean that these pothies are saral arth of Guru Granth Sahib ji? Or just relevant portions are clubbed together? Pls throw more light on this.

Thanks.

Re: Punj Granthi

Waheguru Ji ka Khalsa Waheguru ji ki fateh.

The Panj Granthi pothi has the following Banis:
Japji Sahib, Shabad hazareh, Rehras, Sohila, Dakhnee Onkar, Sidh Ghost, Anand Sahib, Bavan Akhree, Sukhmani Sahib nad Asa Di Waar.

There are no arths etc - just the above banis in a small handy sized pothi so it is easier for a young student of Paath to read from and study.

I dont have a dass granthi Pothi with me at the moment,but off hand it also contains the Banis of Guru Gobind Singh Ji - Jaap Sahib, Akal ustat, Swaiyahs, bachittar Natak and a few other banis.
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=451

IMHO the Word PUNJ may be used to refer to PUNJVAAN NANAK - Guru Arjun Ji and all banis are from Guru Granth Ji...and the Dass Granthi - then refers to Daswaan nanak - Guru Gobind Singh ji as all the bansi in this pothi are NOT from Guru Granth ji...but from Dasam granth.

The 22 Varaan is self explanatory - it contains all the 22 Vaars from Guru Granth Ji - again in a handy sized pothi for easier handling by students.

The Bhagat bani Pothi contains ALL the Bhagat bani from Guru Granth Ji and includes the Slok Sahiskirti - the difficult sanskrti sloks at Panna 1340++ of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=451

i hope this helps.

Re: Punj Granthi

Surely, this helped a lot Gyani ji. So the different pothies seem to be clubbing Gurbani together based on different criteria.

Who wrote Slok Sahiskirti ?
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=451

Also, I have read some articles about some arguments about Mundavani. What exactly is that? I am curious to know why there are different perceptions regarding Gurbani among Takhts. Forgive my ignorance please.

This is one of most DIFFICULT banis and is referred to as MEHENGEE BANI ( Costly )..and it sends the shivers throught he spines of those who have to perform the 4am-6am raol of akhand paath just before BHOG...and thus many kacheh paathis try to escape this raol through nay means !!!


On the matter of the MUNDAWNI i have started a new thread as it is too big to discuss on this thread and is unrelated anyway.

Re: Punj Granthi

Gyani ji,

I had a look at Guru Granth Sahib ji (1353) onwards for the Salok Sahiskriti Mahla 1. Also there is Mahla 5. Just to be clear does this mean that these saloks are creation of First and Fifth Guru?
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=451
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=451

At least the bani you mentioned here, sounds like gurumukhi only, 1354 onwards, there seems to be more sanskrit words (I dont know, but looks like!)

Regards.

Re: Punj Granthi

Dear Arvindji , Gurfateh.
As we were told in the 'santhya' (learning Gurbani) , there are three pothies out of Guru Granth Sahib 1) Panj Granthi 2) Bhagat Bani 3) 22 Vara.N.
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=451
1) Panj Granthi contained Five Banies i) Bavan Akhri M-5 ii) Sukhmani Sahib M-5 iii) Anand Sahib M-3 iv) Onkar M-1 and v) Sidh Gosti M-1
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=451
Later the Printer/publishers added the Nitnem and other banies in it.

2) Pothi Bhagat Bani- contains the bani of Bhagats and Bhatts.

3) Pothi Baee Vara.N (22 vars) as the name shows contains all 22 vars from Guru Granth Sahib ji.

We were told that if a sikh does not study the whole Gurbani with meanings , he should ,at least study these three pothies with meanings and read these banies at his home whenever he finds time. out of them, being easy to read, Sukhmani Sahib is popular and other banies are known least.
With regards,
Balkar Singh
