<blockquote data-quote="Harjas Kaur Khalsa" data-source="post: 80522" data-attributes="member: 2125"><p>First the appealing to fear among the Sikh sangat that recognizing Dasam Granth as Gurbani somehow challenges or replaces Shri Guru Granth Sahib is false and defamatory. The fact that Gurbani from Dasam Granth has been used to form the basis of nitenam banis proves Sikhs accept nitenam banis to be Guru's bani, and since they are from Dasam Granth what does that tell us? That it is some accident or malign conspiracy to undermine Sikhism? Else, why would Sikhs be reciting from Dasam Granth as part of rehitnama of Khalsa? Because it is NOT Gurbani? That doesn't make any sense. Obviously, it is Gurbani. And equally obvious Dasam Granth, nor Sarbloh Granth nor Prem Sumarag, nor commentary Vaaran of Bhai Gurdas have been installed as Guru of the Sikhs. How does the existence of historical granths, vaaran and rehitnamay violate the sanctity or exclusiveness of Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji or constitute some anti-Panthic conspiracy against Sikhism? And if you remove the validity of these historical sources, and equally the unwritten traditions of the Khalsa Panth, the nitenam banis, etc, I ask you, on what basis can you support that Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is actually Guru Granth? Because you cannot eliminate the historical supportive sources which are the framework of the Khalsa Panth without also eliminating the internal logic and cohesiveness of Sikh Nationhood and religion.</p><p></p><p>A large objection is often made about Shri Dasam Granth bani because it contains Hindu stories. Yet no one is clicking the links to hear the scholars from the Dasam Granth seminar explain how the teachings are conformed to Sikh religion and the Hindu devtas are subordinated to Akal. Is this different from the clarification of Vedic teaching, yoga references or Hindu devtas in Gurbani of Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji? No! The same exact clarification and subordination is the same, as well as the same references to Hindu devtas and even to base kaami corruptions. It is a coherent message. </p><p></p><p>The real problem is most Sikhs gloss over the Hindu stories and references, teachings and clarifications in Gurbani of Guru Granth, yet they are clearly there, Hanuman, Mahesh, Narasimha, Raamchandra. So why is their mention in the martial tradition of the Khalsa of Shri Dasam Granth suddenly offensive? </p><p></p><p>Shri Guru Granth also mentions the 10 avataaras of Vishnu and has at least 2 references to Guruji as being an avataar. So why is Chaupis avatar in Dasam Granth bani challenged as being conspiratorial? Rather every Sikh should analyze the purpose of why the Gurbani is saying these banis and clarify that Shri Dasam Granth bani is essentially not saying anything new and without a simialr reference also found in Shri Guru Granth Sahib to support it. Nothing is contradictory whatsoever except the limitation of people's understanding of deeply mystical and profound teaching. The fact that Dasam Granth is bani doesn't replace that Gurgaddhi and primacy are given to Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, but clearly shows the intensity of the teaching between the two Granths exists and is not an invention of the Arya Samaj or RSS. What we all need to do is analyze the true historical and spiritual purpose behind lesser known references to Hindu devtas and stories of their corruption in time and warnings to the Khalsa that they too could fall, rather than dismissing Guruji's bani out of OUR ignorance of the historical validity.</p><p></p><p>Explain this please if all Bachitter Natak is considered too offensive to be bani of Guruji.<p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Purple"> ਅਜੌਂ ਨ ਪਤ੍ਯ੍ਯਾਇ ਨਿਗਮ ਭਏ ਸਾਖੀ ॥੩॥ </span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Purple">ajaan n pathyaae nigam bheae saakhee ||3||</span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Purple">I do not have faith, even though the Vedas bear witness to the Lord. ||3||</span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Purple"></span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Purple">ਗੋਤਮ ਨਾਰਿ ਉਮਾਪਤਿ ਸ੍ਵਾਮੀ ॥ਸੀਸੁ ਧਰਨਿ ਸਹਸ ਭਗ ਗਾਂਮੀ ॥੪॥ </span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Purple">gotham naar oumaapath svaamee || sees dhharan sehas bhag gaanmee ||4||</span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Purple">Shiva cut off Brahma's head, and Gautam's wife and the Lord Indra mated; Brahma's head got stuck to Shiva's hand, and Indra came to bear the marks of a thousand </span><span style="color: Purple">female organs. ||4||</span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Purple"></span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Purple">ਇਨ ਦੂਤਨ ਖਲੁ ਬਧੁ ਕਰਿ ਮਾਰਿਓ ॥ </span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Purple">ein dhoothan khal badhh kar maariou ||</span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Purple">These demons have fooled, bound and destroyed me.</span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Purple"></span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Purple">ਬਡੋ ਨਿਲਾਜੁ ਅਜਹੂ ਨਹੀ ਹਾਰਿਓ ॥੫॥ </span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Purple">baddo nilaaj ajehoo nehee haariou ||5||</span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Purple">I am very shameless - even now, I am not tired of them. ||5||</span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Purple">~SGGS Ji p. 710</span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Purple"></span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Purple"></span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Purple"><span style="color: Navy"></span></span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Purple"><span style="color: Navy"></span> </span><span style="color: Navy"></span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Navy"></span> <span style="color: Navy"> ਸੰਕਰਾ ਮਸਤਕਿ ਬਸਤਾ ਸੁਰਸਰੀ ਇਸਨਾਨ ਰੇ ॥ </span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Navy"></span> <span style="color: Navy"> sankaraa masathak basathaa surasaree eisanaan rae ||</span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Navy"></span> <span style="color: Navy"> The moon dwells in Shiva's forehead; it takes its cleansing bath in the Ganges.</span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Navy"></span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Navy"></span> <span style="color: Navy">ਕੁਲ ਜਨ ਮਧੇ ਮਿਲ੍ਯ੍ਯਿ*ੋ ਸਾਰਗ ਪਾਨ ਰੇ ॥ </span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Navy"></span> <span style="color: Navy"> kul jan madhhae miliyo saarag paan rae ||</span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Navy"></span> <span style="color: Navy"> Among the men of the moon's family, Krishna was born;</span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Navy"></span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Navy"></span> <span style="color: Navy">ਕਰਮ ਕਰਿ ਕਲੰਕੁ ਮਫੀਟਸਿ ਰੀ ॥੧॥ </span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Navy"></span> <span style="color: Navy"> karam kar kalank mafeettas ree ||1||</span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Navy"></span> <span style="color: Navy"> even so, the stains from its past actions remain on the moon's face. ||1||</span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Navy"></span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Navy"></span> <span style="color: Navy">ਬਿਸ੍ਵ ਕਾ ਦੀਪਕੁ ਸ੍ਵਾਮੀ ਤਾ ਚੇ ਰੇ ਸੁਆਰਥੀ ਪੰਖੀ ਰਾਇ ਗਰੁੜ ਤਾ ਚੇ ਬਾਧਵਾ ॥ </span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Navy"></span> <span style="color: Navy"> bisv kaa dheepak svaamee thaa chae rae suaarathhee pankhee raae garurr thaa chae baadhhavaa ||</span></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><span style="color: Navy"></span> <span style="color: Navy"> Aruna was a charioteer; his master was the sun, the lamp of the world.

[QUOTE="Harjas Kaur Khalsa, post: 80522, member: 2125"] First the appealing to fear among the Sikh sangat that recognizing Dasam Granth as Gurbani somehow challenges or replaces Shri Guru Granth Sahib is false and defamatory. The fact that Gurbani from Dasam Granth has been used to form the basis of nitenam banis proves Sikhs accept nitenam banis to be Guru's bani, and since they are from Dasam Granth what does that tell us? That it is some accident or malign conspiracy to undermine Sikhism? Else, why would Sikhs be reciting from Dasam Granth as part of rehitnama of Khalsa? Because it is NOT Gurbani? That doesn't make any sense. Obviously, it is Gurbani. And equally obvious Dasam Granth, nor Sarbloh Granth nor Prem Sumarag, nor commentary Vaaran of Bhai Gurdas have been installed as Guru of the Sikhs. How does the existence of historical granths, vaaran and rehitnamay violate the sanctity or exclusiveness of Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji or constitute some anti-Panthic conspiracy against Sikhism? And if you remove the validity of these historical sources, and equally the unwritten traditions of the Khalsa Panth, the nitenam banis, etc, I ask you, on what basis can you support that Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is actually Guru Granth? Because you cannot eliminate the historical supportive sources which are the framework of the Khalsa Panth without also eliminating the internal logic and cohesiveness of Sikh Nationhood and religion. A large objection is often made about Shri Dasam Granth bani because it contains Hindu stories. Yet no one is clicking the links to hear the scholars from the Dasam Granth seminar explain how the teachings are conformed to Sikh religion and the Hindu devtas are subordinated to Akal. Is this different from the clarification of Vedic teaching, yoga references or Hindu devtas in Gurbani of Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji? No! The same exact clarification and subordination is the same, as well as the same references to Hindu devtas and even to base kaami corruptions. It is a coherent message. The real problem is most Sikhs gloss over the Hindu stories and references, teachings and clarifications in Gurbani of Guru Granth, yet they are clearly there, Hanuman, Mahesh, Narasimha, Raamchandra. So why is their mention in the martial tradition of the Khalsa of Shri Dasam Granth suddenly offensive? Shri Guru Granth also mentions the 10 avataaras of Vishnu and has at least 2 references to Guruji as being an avataar. So why is Chaupis avatar in Dasam Granth bani challenged as being conspiratorial? Rather every Sikh should analyze the purpose of why the Gurbani is saying these banis and clarify that Shri Dasam Granth bani is essentially not saying anything new and without a simialr reference also found in Shri Guru Granth Sahib to support it. Nothing is contradictory whatsoever except the limitation of people's understanding of deeply mystical and profound teaching. The fact that Dasam Granth is bani doesn't replace that Gurgaddhi and primacy are given to Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, but clearly shows the intensity of the teaching between the two Granths exists and is not an invention of the Arya Samaj or RSS. What we all need to do is analyze the true historical and spiritual purpose behind lesser known references to Hindu devtas and stories of their corruption in time and warnings to the Khalsa that they too could fall, rather than dismissing Guruji's bani out of OUR ignorance of the historical validity. Explain this please if all Bachitter Natak is considered too offensive to be bani of Guruji.[INDENT][COLOR=Purple] ਅਜੌਂ ਨ ਪਤ੍ਯ੍ਯਾਇ ਨਿਗਮ ਭਏ ਸਾਖੀ ॥੩॥ ajaan n pathyaae nigam bheae saakhee ||3|| I do not have faith, even though the Vedas bear witness to the Lord. ||3|| ਗੋਤਮ ਨਾਰਿ ਉਮਾਪਤਿ ਸ੍ਵਾਮੀ ॥ਸੀਸੁ ਧਰਨਿ ਸਹਸ ਭਗ ਗਾਂਮੀ ॥੪॥ gotham naar oumaapath svaamee || sees dhharan sehas bhag gaanmee ||4|| Shiva cut off Brahma's head, and Gautam's wife and the Lord Indra mated; Brahma's head got stuck to Shiva's hand, and Indra came to bear the marks of a thousand [/COLOR][COLOR=Purple]female organs. ||4|| ਇਨ ਦੂਤਨ ਖਲੁ ਬਧੁ ਕਰਿ ਮਾਰਿਓ ॥ ein dhoothan khal badhh kar maariou || These demons have fooled, bound and destroyed me. ਬਡੋ ਨਿਲਾਜੁ ਅਜਹੂ ਨਹੀ ਹਾਰਿਓ ॥੫॥ baddo nilaaj ajehoo nehee haariou ||5|| I am very shameless - even now, I am not tired of them. ||5|| ~SGGS Ji p. 710 [COLOR=Navy] [/COLOR] [/COLOR][COLOR=Navy] [/COLOR] [COLOR=Navy] ਸੰਕਰਾ ਮਸਤਕਿ ਬਸਤਾ ਸੁਰਸਰੀ ਇਸਨਾਨ ਰੇ ॥ [/COLOR] [COLOR=Navy] sankaraa masathak basathaa surasaree eisanaan rae || [/COLOR] [COLOR=Navy] The moon dwells in Shiva's forehead; it takes its cleansing bath in the Ganges.
