F)Misal Patna Bir Academic issues Issues Randhir singh writes on Page49 of his Book. This Bir Prepared by Sewadars at takhat Patna after they found 10 th Guru Bani. Where are the original Documents? Copy reported tobe In Akal takhat Bunga Takhat Toshakhana. No such copy seen there now where is it now?. Dates on the Bir are issue Randhir Singh ji writes. Original written in Patna. Where is Original of thisBir Now?. Randhir singh writes “Page 5(in Dabbi) date of start of writing Samat 1821, 21 Maghar( Nov 7th sat,1764 AD) Date of Completion on end page 616(in Dabbi) samat 1822,ASU 22(27 Sept 1765) But the date of Copying given in Jammu in Tatkara is Sawan 22 Sudi 9(26 July 1765AD”. If bir was not completed in Patna till 27 th Sept then how it can be copied in Jammu on 26 July 1765AD Two months Advance of its completion? If this Bir was copied in Jammu then in Punjab in 1765AD then why Chhibar who wrote his Bansalinama in (1769-1769) in Jammu is silent about this so Important manuscript? and Mehma parkash( which was written at Goindwal , then Punjab) 1776Ad Is also Silent about this Important Dasam Granth Bir? It is available nowhere now? why so much Important Bir Disappeared. Thereis no history of original or copy of this bir. F)PRE 1700 Sri Dasam Granth Bir at Hazur Sahib Recently one writer has mentioned that there was pre-1700 dasam granth bir at Hazur Sahib. Question is why the management at Hazur Sahib produced a new bir ? why they did not Publish PRE 1700 Sri Dasam Granth Bir alone .The Sodhak Committee set up by Takhat Sachkhand Sri 36
Hazur Sahib prepared and published another standard ceremonial edition in 2002. It has 1428 pages and is beautifully printed. It is a non pad-chhed ( no separation of words) version and was based on a 444 NS or 1913 CE Munshi Gulab Singh & Son's edition( previous edition was 1900Ad based on Sodhak Committee Report by same Press} and 80 other available puratan saroops. Nihangs do Prakash of another 1428 p. pad-chhed Dasam Granth. G) Randhir Singh also refers to a 18th century DG in a Gurdwara at Kolkata in Shabad Moorat Page 52 randhir Singh just mention about such Bir in 2 lines no details at ( gurudwara ,sangat- Tula Patti date Samat 1840( 1783AD). His note adds further this bir does not matches with any 4Birs as reported by Gianni Gain Singh Joint was also not copy of any above two Old Bars which Randhir Sigh felt to be more authentic( Mani Singh Bir& Pâtna Ji DiMisal). This bir is nowhere available now. No details can be commented.Was Calcutta part of Punjab in 1783 AD? Guru Granth Sahib as the only Sikh Canon; Fresh Look at the Text and History of Dasam Granth The lineage of Personal Guruship was terminated ( Canon Closed) on October, 6 th Wednesday1708 A.D. by the 10 th Guru, Guru Gobind Singh Ji, after finalizing the sanctification of Guru Nanak,s Mission and passing the succession to Guru Granth Sahib as future Guru of the Sikhs. This was the final culmination of the Sikh concept of Guruship, capable of resisting the temptation of continuation of the lineage of human Gurus. The Tenth Guru while maintaining the concept of ‘Shabad Guru’ also made the Panth distinctive by introducing corporate Guruship. The concept of Guruship continued and the role of human gurus was transferred to the Guru Panth and that of the revealed word to Guru Granth Sahib making Sikhism a unique modern religion. This historical fact is well documented in Indian, Persian and Western Sikh sources of 18 th century. 37
