[QUOTE="Admin, post: 117335, member: 1"] This image of Maharaja Ranjit Singh's Darbar on the Prikarma of Sri Darbar Sahib Ji, Amritsar is widely used by the proponents of Dasam Granth all over the internet. A Few Questions to Ponder: [LIST=1] [*][B]What are Origins of this Portrait? [/B] [*][B][COLOR=Red]In my personal perspective, the Two Granths in the image are visibly of very different sizes, which is quite strange, considering that the difference between the two Granths is only of two Pannas (Pages). How is it possible? And if add those other 7 compositions removed from DG by the Sodhak Committee, both of the Granths should have been huge where as only one of them looks like huge granth and the other one looks like a very small book of a few pages. [/COLOR][/B] [*][COLOR=Red][B]The another observation that raises from this startling revelation is that if Sri DG originally was of very small size and later on why on whose behest quite a few more compositions were added to make a 1428 page Granth? [/B][B]It is also quite strange that those 7 compositions, which were randomly removed from in 1903 so that the page count comes around about the same. 1428 - 1430!! On what basis those 7 compositions were removed? [/B][/COLOR] [*][B][COLOR=Red]Then question arises, who added or removed those compositions earlier and later on? and on What basis?[/COLOR][/B] [/LIST] [ATTACH]1203.vB[/ATTACH] [B]Parkash of Two Granths Together in Parkarma of Harmandir Sahib Ji.
