If we take this version of the "sampooran" ("complete"..... :| ) Rehras Sahib
download PDF here, then the outlying parts appear to be:
1. The first four lines are the last paurhi of a shabad on
ang 451 of SGGSJ
2. The Shalok that follows (and contains your favourite quote) as you know is from
ang 469 of SGGSJ
3. Sort of in the middle is the Benti Chaupai found in a different book, plus the sampooran version includes the ending of Benti Chaupai that most Sikhs don't even know exists.. it starts from 'Ardil' on page 21 of the download above, and then a bunch of Dohras. The content from this other books ends on page 26 of the download, when Anand Sahib starts
4. The Anand Sahib itself, which oddly enough is only the ''short version" in the download. Most sampooran Rehras Sahib supporters I've seen will also insist on full Anand Sahib as part of Rehras discipline.
5. Then there is the Mundaavanee which I'm sure you're familiar with, and some other shabads from Guru Ji
Now, even the Sikh Rehat Maryada put out by SGPC includes Benti Chaupai, and Anand Sahib, as part of the evening prayers for Sikhs. I'm just pointing out here what differs from the content arranged by Guru Ji himself in the SGGSJ between pages 8 and 12. To me, that is complete. But it's also the minimum. There is nothing wrong with having more Gurbani if you wish, the problem comes when one's personal preference becomes tradition and then what Guru Ji arranged is declared to be incomplete. imho.
Thank you so much. The version I have has at least several pages of Anand Sahib in the middle. I believe this is how that TV version I told you about begins:
ਜਨ ਨਾਨਕ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਇਆ ਹਰਿ ਰਖਣਹਾਰਾ ॥੩॥
जन नानक नामु धिआइआ हरि रखणहारा ॥३॥

Then just before the line saying (translation)
Since I have fallen at your feet I do not care for anybody else is the reference to how the Hindus pray to Ganesha before starting an endeavor but the author does not, how God made Brhama to sit on a lotus, and how God shrinks himself to fit into Shiva's idol, on the TV version. I came from a mixed Sikh/Hindu background and eventually dedicated myself entirely to Sikhi, so those Hindu references are rather confusing to me. Actually, I am also confused about the following from Jap Ji. Maybe you could explain what this actually means (I cannot find on the SGGS engine):
Guru isaru guru gorakhu barma, buru parbati mai
(translation I have: Guru is Shiva, Vishnu, Shiva's consort Parbati, Vishnu's consort Lakshmi and Bramah's consort Saraswati)
Is this just another reference to the fact that Guru Sahib lives in all beings, or does it have implications about those demigods themselves?
Thank you.
