[QUOTE="Gyani Jarnail Singh, post: 105993, member: 189"] On a related note: I recently heard a Gurbani katha by Mohinder Singh ji SDO and in it Bhai Sahib ji was mentioning that the SGGS is actually passed on in "[U][B]POTHIS[/B][/U]"...or what we would call [B]FOLIOS[/B]..( Hence the First Original name of AAD Granth is [U][B]POTHI SAHIB[/B][/U].) Pothi means [U][B]BOOK[/B][/U]..or KITAB in F{censored}e..so we have Guru nanak ji being called upon to open His KITAAB and show who is better--Hindu or Mussalmaan..and Guru Ji opened His KITAAB and replied..SHUBH amlaan bajoh DOVEH Roiyee...BOTH cry if they are sans Good Actions/habits/living...meaning its not the "person/religion" BUT his ACTIONS/Karams..The "GOINDWAAL POTHIS" also feature in Sikh history...they were the book/FOLIOS. in which Gurbani of First Guru nanak ji, then Guru Angad Ji and then Guur Amardass jI and then Guru Ramdass ji was written down.... FOLOIOS was an invention that enabled a Big Granth to be written down and managed in a good manner...the individual FOLOIOS were then SEWN together into the One Granth. 2. Another interesting point..the POTHIS/FOLIOS of the AAD GRANTH were arranged RAAG WISE....so there was the [B]SRI RAAG "POTHI[/B]"..[B]ASA POTHI[/B]..RAMKLI POTHI..BASANT POTHI....and Gurbani that was NOT in RAAG - the VAARS for example...was KNOWN by the name of the [B]POTHI[/B]..THUS VAAR ASA KI...is NOT in Raag Asa/or supposed to be sung in Raag Asa..but being recorded in the [B]Raag Asa POTHI[/B]..it is known by that name. (All VAARS are supposed to eb SUNG in Dhadee style to DHUNIS written down in their headings..Asa Vaar is Tundeh asrajeh ki dhunni....and NOT Raag Asa. Thus we can explain the Basant vaar in [B]Basant Pothi[/B]...Ramkali vaar in [B]Ramkali Pothi[/B]. ALL VAARS are SIMILAR..except for Dhunis... 3. This also explains WHY the Original Copy of the Kartarpuri Bir of Pothi Sahib has so many VACANT PAGES..as well as SEVERELY SHORTAGED PAGES. This is becasue Bhai Gurdass Ji was instructed/or himslef took the initiative to Prepare a FOLIO/POTHI of the Raag currently being RECITED by Guur Arjun Ji Sahib...and sometimes Bhai Sahib Ji OVERESTIMATED the Pagaes..and Gurbani finished long before the Particular Raag Pothi/Folio exhausted..hence many many Vacant Khalee Patrehs...while at other times he severely UNDERESTIMATED..and the Gurbani literally OVERFLOWED..and he made do by writing in the margins/empty spaces all over. [B][U]THIS FACT is one solid proof that the Kartarpuri Bir is an ORIGINAL...aomeone preparing a COPY would obviously know in ADVANCE the EXACT Pages needed in a particular Folio.[/U][/B] 3. POTHI PARMESHAR KA THAAN....SGGS ETERNAL GURU...is in the SAME "physical state"- meaning..POTHI, KITAAB, GRANTH. We should not be overly excited over mere "words"....as many habitually get.
