[QUOTE="Amarpal, post: 23543, member: 10"] Dear Khalsa Ji, First we should define what is Bani. In the strict sense of the word, any thing that is spoken is Bani. In the context of Sikhi, what is autheneticated by Guru Sahibs is Gurbani. THis is documented in the text of Siri Guru Granth Sahib. What is called Dasam Granth was not compliled and put together after Siri Guru Gobind Singh Ji left this world. It is said that the text of it existed in various forms during the time of Siri Guru Gobind Singh Ji. It is also true that Guru Gobind Singh Ji was proficient in many languages. He used to write poetry. He also had poets with him who put many of the epical text of the land Gurmukhi so that the Sikhs too can read it and know what it is. Guru Gobind Singh Ji asked we Sikhs to follow Siri Guru Granth sahib as our Guru and we are doing so. Such great was his authority, yet he did not ask the Sikhs to follow Dasam Granth as the divine scripture. If he wanted he could have included it in Siri Guru Granth Sahib, he had this authority, yet he did not do so. Consequently, the individuals or group of individuals too cannot make it the scripture for the Sikhs. It is excellent literature in Gurmukhi. I have read it, though part of it appears to be written by Guru Gobind Singh Ji, the entire composition is not by him. You take make revered scripture of our land are attibuted to Ved Vyas. As explained by the learned religious pandits of ramakrishna Math in their publication, ved Vyas was a post ant not an individual. Ved means knowledge and Vyas means diameter. The persons whose spiritual knowledge and wisdom (veda) was large enough (vyas i.e. diameter) to encompass all the vedas was recongised as such and assigned the task of compilation of ancient scripture of the land. As it wa a post and not an individuals Vedvyas we find has compiled scripture over centuries, yet the name remains the same. It is, probably, in the same spirit, the text of what is known as Dasam Granth was compiled. This way, just because it is attributed to Siri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, it does not mean that the entire text is written by him. The text of Dasam Granth, at many places is not in agreement with what is said in Siri Guru Granth Sahib. For this reason I do not consider it as Gurubani. I fully agree with the views expressed by Dr Surinder Singh Kohli, in his translation of Dasam Granth. Those who have interest can read this translation. In conclusion, I say that Dasam granth is a very good literature of Gurmukhi. It is not Gurbani in the sense of Siri Guru Granth Sahib. With love and respect for all. Amarpal Singh [/QUOTE]
