VERSES FROM DASAM GRANTH

WERE RECITED ON OCTOBER 17,1708 A.D.,

ON THE OCCASION OF ANTIM ARDASA

( BHOG CEREMONY ) OF

GURU GOBIND SINGH JI

********************************************************

Today I am uploading Eight Pages of a manuscript copy of a historical document, prepared by S.Mangal Singh of Lachhmipur (Bihar), a close associate of the revered Guru and witnessed the events of Guru Gobind Singh ji’s last 20 days at Nander Sahib. The document was retrieved from waste by my father in 1963 and his findings were published in The Sikh Review,October 1963,pp.13-38.

Please see last page (No.8) and see that on the Bhog Ceremony of Guru Gobind Singh ji verses from Akal Ustati were recited. Sawayia No 248 is mentioned in the manuscript, and it is most appropriate verse for the occasion. The verse reads:

rogan te ar sogan te jal jogan te bahu bhant bachavai.

satr anek chalavat ghav tau tan e na lagan pavai.

Lord God saves His devout in different ways

From ailments, grief and water spirits.

The hostile enemy may strike blows on your body,

But no injury can inflict your body.

When the Gracious Lord protects His devout

Multitude of sins cannot even approach your body.

What else I can say about the Glorious Lord,

Who protects His creatures in the membrane of the

womb.

Dasam Granth, Guru Gobind Singh,

Akal Ustati, Sawayia 248, page.35.

Now it is the turn of the Nindaks to search Dasam Granth and tell the world what they have to say about this contemporary document making their blatant lies, about Dasam Granth and its authorship, a laughing stock in the world. The perfidy of the Nindaks is exposed and they need a black cloth to cover their faces to avoid public humiliation in the coming days.

OTHER IMPORTANT FEATURES OF THIS

CONTEMPORARY HISTORICAL DOCUMENT

“““““““““““““““““““““““

(a) It is the document, which in its Invocation talks about Third Panth in the same manner in which Bhai Gurdas-1 and Bhai Gurdas Dakhani talks about in their Ballads, and Guru Gobind Singh talks about in Bachitra Natak.

(b) It is the document which talks about One Divine Spirit in all the ten Gurus, earlier defined by Bhai Gurdas, Bhatts in their verses in Guru Granth Sahib, Bhai Nand Lal in Ganjnamah, Kavi Sainapati in Gursobha, Parchian Sewa Das, and of course by Guru Gobind Singh ji in Bachitra Natak and Var Sri Bhagauti Ji ki, which forms the Invocation of our Congregational Prayer: ARDASA.

(c) It is the only document which gives the the age of the assassin (25 years); his three visits on September 18,19 and 20,1708. It was on the third day September 20,1708 A.D. (Monday) that the assassin attacked the Guru about 6.30. p.m.

All the above details have been underlined with orange pen. The interested readers may read the text accordingly.

On the last days of Guru Sahib, Bhai Veer Singh ji and my father ( Dr Trilochan Singh ) saw a manuscript GAUJ KATHA at Hazur Sahib, which is now not available, but a copy of it I have recently found in Sikh Reference Library, Amritsar, and after my return from USA trip I shall be writing a detailed paper on the last days of Guru Gobind Singh ji.

Please read it carefully and give your valuable opinion on this write up which I have shared with you all.
