[QUOTE="Sikh Namdhari, post: 52840, member: 2579"] [b]Re: Being Naam-dhari is Sikhi[/b] Sisterji Kaur-1 When Sri Satguru Nanak Devji first started to compose Gurbani He kept a small book with Him called 'Pothi'- which literally means -'book'. Upon passing Gurugaddhi to Bhai Lehnaji He also gave Him the Pothi which contained all of His 'Shabads'. This carried on until the time when Sri Satguru Arjun Devji collected all of that and other Banis and bound them into one. This compilation was then also called 'Pothi' or 'Pothi Sahib'. Granth - which literally means 'Big Volume' was a name which evolved over time. [B]All[/B] of the volumes written pre-Singh Sabha times, i.e. pre 1872 AD. have 'Pothi Sahib' written on them. You can see for yourself if you visit the library in Amritsar. There are over 2,000 handwritten copies there. After Bhai Mani Singhji, at the behest of Mathaji, collected all of Sri Satguru Gobind Singhji's writings, which were scattered all over the Punjab and elsewhere, he then compiled these into a Granth. Bhai Mani Singhji, Wah! Bhai Mani Singhji, who was later tortured by the Moguls, had his limbs cut at every joint until there was nothing left to cut. Do we even have a fraction of the Sikhi He had? He was a Mahapurash who knew His Satguru, who was qualified to recognise what His Satguru would write or what He would not write, because he had lived his life with the Satguru. (Today we have 'Sikh' scholars who gain a meager degree from a University and claim the Dasam Guru Granth Sahib is not Guruji's composition.) Forgive me I am digressing. Since the time of arrival on the scene of the compositions of Dasam Pithaji, both Granth Sahibs were 'Parkashed' side by side in all places of worship. There are some very beautiful contemporary paintings from the times of the Sikh Empire that show this. So to distinguish between the two Granth Sahibs they were given seperate names: All of the Gurbani compiled in the first Granth was called: '[B]Aadh Guru Granth Sahib';[/B] which can be translated as: Volume of the First Gurujis. All of Sri Guru Gobind Singhji's Gurbani, compiled in the second Granth was called: [B]Dasam Guru Granth Sahib. [/B]The name should now be self explanatory. There is a third Granth called [B]'Sarab Loh Granth',[/B] which had eluded historians for a long time, but which all those who were in the know, knew of it's existance. But only certain Nihang Jathas had copies of it and they have guarded it jealously over the centuries. I do believe it can be made available to the Sangat, but you have to give them very good reasons for wanting it (apparently). I stand to be corrected. Some time after 1873 and the formation of the 2nd Singh Sabha with the sponsorship of the British Empire, in opposition to the rise of the Namdhari Sikhs, the Singh Sabha leaders decided that only one Granth could be 'Guru'. So the Dasam Guru Granth Sahib was removed from all Dharamsalas and Gurdhwaras and the status of Aadh Guru Granth Sahib was raised to 'Sri Guru Granth Sahibji'. Namdharis did not and do not agree with this arrangement, which is why we still call both Granth Sahibs by their original names. [/QUOTE]
