[QUOTE="harbansj24, post: 117316, member: 4544"] Narayanjot ji, I have written in several earlier posts that neither the proponents nor opponents of DG have any incontrovertible evidence either way. In my "nobody" status, I had also very humbly suggested that respected scholars of Panth should form a committee themselves (AT has miserably failed in this regard) and come out with recommendations about parts of DG (whether authored by or caused to be authored or approved by Guru ji or not) that are acceptable and are part of Sikh psyche and the parts which have never been used by the Sikhs and are of no use to the panth and hence could be removed. I[I][COLOR=Blue] beg to differ. There is not "near unanimity" within the panth that SGGS is the only living Guru of the Sikhs. We are now hearing that the authority of Aad Granth depends on accepting the authority of the Dasam Granth. The panth may agree that Guru Gobind Singh ji anointed SGGS as the only living Guru, but here at SPN we have reported practical example after practical example of equal parkash given to Dasam Granth. Those who believe that Dasam Granth was written by Guru Gobind Singh have now taken the next extreme step. They now argue that the singular authority of Sri Guru Granth Sahib as Guru depends completely on accepting Dasam Granth as the banee of the 10th Nanak. They say: if you doubt the authorship of Dasam Granth you are doubting Guru Gobind Singh. If you doubt Guru Gobind Singh, you doubt Sri Guru Granth Sahib. If there were near unanimity within the panth regarding Sri Guru Granth Sahib, how did this new thought, which is a blight on logic and common sense, take birth? [/COLOR][/I] Who ever has come up with such illogical arguments, can easily be countered. Because if Guru ji himself had excluded any part of DG from SGGS, he must have had good reasons for that and for annointing only SGGS as Guru. So where is the question of making it as a conditionality of accepting SGGS as guru? [I][COLOR=Blue] There is little in the way of internal evidence to support that many parts of Dasam Granth were penned by Guru Gobind Singh. And there is even less external evidence to suggest the same.[/COLOR][/I] I could not agree more. And you are also suggesting that parts could also have been penned or approved by Guruji. [I][COLOR=RoyalBlue]The psyche of Sikhs has been injured many times over the course of history. Sikhs are still standing tall. Suppression of uncomfortable issues for the sake of keeping peace in the family damages more than it heals. The most damaging injuries in our history have been caused by belligerent and ruthless suppression by any means possible. Today that includes the handing out of sanctions and excommunications do not abide by our history of resolving internal disputes through public dialog according to Gurmat principles. [/COLOR][/I] I have never suggested suppression of uncomfortable issues. I again repeat that the problem is that neither side knows for sure what exactly is the truth. Then is it not logical to identify which parts are useful and can be retained and which parts rejected? [I][COLOR=RoyalBlue]That may be his gentle suggestion. If we agree with that suggestion, then we also have to agree that a "useful work" is not the Guru.[/COLOR][/I] This is perfectly in order. [I][COLOR=Blue]And the result is what we see today. A granth whose true author is a sodhak committee that bundled together a diverse collection of poetry and labeled it the Dasam Granth. Prior to 1900, there was no Dasam Granth. [/COLOR][/I] Agreed. But how far are we certain that about the parts of diverse poetry being or not being authored or approved by Guruji? [COLOR=Blue] [/COLOR][I][COLOR=RoyalBlue][COLOR=Blue]As far as I know Hindus have steered clear of this debate.[/COLOR] [/COLOR][/I] I think many a times it has been mentioned that RSS is behind this mischief. Many Hindus may have nothing to do with RSS but RSS does have many sympathisers among Hindus.[COLOR=Blue] [/COLOR][COLOR=Black] [/COLOR]Yes please do.
