Giani Sher Singh Katha about the authorship of the Sri Dasam Granth Sahib

Srī Bhagautī Astotra

Vahiguru ji ka Khalsa Vahiguru ji ki fateh!!!!!!

Dear friend,

The following translation of the Srī Bhagautī Astotra is from the forthcoming publication Dasam Granth Sahib, Essays, Lectures, and Translations, Oxford University Press, India. The title is still subject to change.

This forthcoming publication is by two scholars of Sikh Studies, Kamalroop Singh and Gurinder Singh Mann, and includes new and exciting areas of study. The history and discussion of the vīr rasī Srī Bhagautī Astotra or heroic ‘Panegyric to the Divine-Sword’ is included within this forthcoming title. It includes the history and translations of the apocrypha from extant manuscripts of the Dasam Granth Sahib, the discussion of previously unknown manuscripts from 1695–1698 ad, a study of the rituals and maryādā of the Graṅth of Guru Gobind Singh. The tradition of the Dasam Granth Sahib within the Sampradāvāṅ, e.g. Akālī Nihaṅg Singh Khālsā (Buḍḍhā Dal) and the changes made by the ‘Tat Khalsa’ Singh Sabha to the original praxis of the Srī Akāl Takht Sāhib and Srī Keshgaṛh Sāhib.

Best regards,

Kamalroop Singh

Dasam Granth Questions and Answers book coming soon

With the grace of Guru ji I have teamed up with a great Sikh scholar from Leicester, Gurinder Singh Mann to write a book. Its just about to go in for print. Mann completed his MA in the Sri Dasam Granth way back in 2001, and has painstakingly researched the Scripture of Guru Gobind Singh for a further 10 years. We have put a total of twenty years of research into this book, ten years each, for the benefit of the Sikh Panth and scholars alike.

An extract about 1984:

There are also the notions of the Khalsa having sovereignity, and the Guru details the practices of statehood or Raj-niti in the Dasam Granth. This was partly seen in the establishment of the empire built by Maharaja Ranjit Singh. Even in the period where the Khalistan movement was gaining currency, the leader whose banner it was formed under, Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, repeated and drew strength from Dasam Granth. In the view of some Sikhs, there can never be any Sikh State without the resonating sounds of Dasam Granth in the Akal Takht Sahib.
