Sri sarbloh granth sahib ji

Sri sarbloh granth sahib ji/Sri Mangalacharan puran Ji

Sri Manglacharan Ji is the real name of Sri Sarbloh Granth Sahib. In the scripture, the author Guru Gobind Singh Ji writes Himself the name of the granth at the end and calls it Sri Manglacharan Puran.This Sarbloh Granth is the 2nd Granth of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, the first being Sri Dasam Granth Sahib Ji. Sri Sarbloh Granth Sahib Ji is one large story which deals primarily with the war between various demons, most noteably Beerajnaad, and an avatar of Mahakal, which is called Sarbloh. However a large portion of Sarbloh Granth is the explanation of the war story in relation to spiritual concepts such as Bibek [discriminative wisdom] and Abibek [spiritual ignorance]. In this respect the war story can be viewed in an analogy of the internal battle between Good vs. Evil. The scripture also contains very important information regarding the Khalsa's status and code of conduct.

This sri- Granth- ji has only been discovered recently putting an answer to most questions (Why haven't we heard about this Granth before?)

Why is it that not many people know about this? Sarbloh Granth is the second great scripture respected by the sikhs but revived by the nihang . Whereas extensive works have been written on Guru Granth Sahib and to some extent on Dasam Granth, one will find hardly anything written on the Sarbloh Granth. In fact, the vast majority of Sikhs have not even heard of this text let alone laid eyes on Sarbloh Granth. Even ancient Sikh and non-Sikh texts are silent on the subject of the Sarbloh Granth. Whereas the Guru Granth Sahib and Dasam Granth could be publicly seen at gurdwaras, Sarbloh Granth was always kept within the Nihang groups as a secret text. Didar Singh Khjal and his teacher, Baba Thakur Singh, wrote a sanctioned book that speaks of Nihang Baba Gurbakhsh Singh’s handwritten copy of Sarbloh Guru Granth: ‘Baba Gurbakhsh Singh Ji like Baba Deep Singh Ji Shahid made hand written copies of Sikh scriptures and small liturgy booklets and sent them to appropriate places. His handwritten copy of Sri Sarbloh Granth Sahib is also mentioned before 1920 it was at the Gurdwara Shahid Ganj at the place of martyrdom of Baba Gurbakhsh Singh, but then during the Akali agitation [1920-1925] it was lost by the elder lady who served there.’ - from - ‘Itihas Damdami Taksal (Sankhep)' (Page 54) Nihang tradition holds that, whereas Guru Granth Sahib is the embodiment of 'Shaant Ras' (essence of peace)and the guru, Dasam Granth and Sarbloh Granth are the embodiments of 'Bir Ras' (warrior essence) and the following guided texts. The difference in Dasam Granth and Sarbloh Granth is that although Bir Ras (warrior essence) is born of Dasam Granth, it is Sarbloh Granth which gives an individual's warrior essence an everlasting, final and complete lethal cutting edge. With contemplation of Dasam Granth, ‘Chandi char jandi te uttar jandi hai’, meaning 'spirit of war comes and goes'. With the contemplation of Sarbloh Granth, ‘Chandi sada chari rehendi hai’ meaning, one is always intoxicated in the spirit of war against ignorance. Thus it was from the Sarbloh Granth that the Khalsa of the Misl Period drew its greater strength and prowess. That is why Sarbloh Granth was the most secret and guarded of Sikh religious texts. Englishmen like Malcolm easily managed to procure Birs of the Guru Granth Sahib taking them to Calcutta to study. Colebrooke even managed to get his 'scheming hands' on the Dasam Granth, as well. But, because the Sarbloh Granth was being guarded deep in the sanctuary of the Nihang groups, no invader even heard of its existance, let alone get his hands on it. Also, the Tat Khalsa Singh Sabhias apart from Bhai Kahan Singh Nabha in general never got around to commenting on the Sarbloh Granth. The present day offspring of Tat Khalsa Singh Sabha, theSGPC is also quiet about the Sarbloh Granth. The language of the Sarbloh Granth, being hidden away so long, has resulted in its being very difficult to understand as it has skipped whole generations of scolars as the words they used and their meanings have continued to change in the outside world. Like an ancient time capsule the obscure text has only recently been made available to modern Sikh scholars.

How did it come into Being With no mention of its existance until lately rumors abound concerning the Sarbloh Granth's discovery. Some say the udasis had it and gave it to the Baba Buddha Dal, others say it was found in a hole, where it had been burried for safe keeping in the manner of the 'Dead Sea Scrolls'. Still others say the work of the Sarbloh Granth, in recording to the Dasam Granth where Guru Gobind Singh in his previous avtar of Dusht Daman came and wrote this manuscript, which Guru Gobind Singh came to Hemkunt Sahib to reclaim. Much of the information on the Granth varies and only the Baba Buddha Dal know much about this Granth. As the Baba Buddha Dal holds the rights to the Granth the organization's permission will be required before an electronic on line version such as that of the Guru Granth Sahib and the Dasam Granth at:* Dasam Granth Sahib online can be prepared.

How can one obtain a copy One Udasi, Harnam Das of Kapurthala, formally known as Nihang Nurang Singh, has made an attempt in the last century to study the Sarbloh Granth. He prepared a transliteration of the Sarbloh Granth which the Buddha Dal later published. Another learned man, Giani Partap Singh, himself a scholar of Sikh religious texts, claims Harnam Das' works are incomplete. Originally this transliteration was not available at any shop or library and could only be attained from Buddha Dal. In order to acquire a copy, an individual had to present a written request stating the reason why he/she would need the copy of the Sarbloh Granth. The letter would then be taken to the head of the Nihangs, most recently Jathedar Baba Santa Singh Ji. Once Baba ji was satisfied with the request, he would officially give his authority and approval. The individual then had to travel to Patiala, Punjab, where the Buddha Dal printing press would make available a copy of the Sarbloh Granth. The ideal Buddha Dal tradition does not sell the priceless Granths, or any other sacred text. But in the year 2000, due to overwhelming public demand for the Sarbloh Granth and because of the Buddha Dal's inability to keep it in print, the Buddha Dal’s published version of the Sarbloh Granth began to be sold at book shops in Punjab. In modern times, the head of the ancient order, Shiromani Panth Akali Buddha Dal Panjvah Takht, Jathedar Baba Santa Singh Ji has done a great service to the Sikh tradition by bringing this Granth out into the public and returning it to it's rightful place, Prakash alongside Guru Granth Sahib and Dasam Granth Sahib. Baba Santa Singh has been successful in printing this Granth in two volumes and also printing a small Sampuran Granth (like a Gutka steek of Guru Granth Sahib ji) for the purpose of Parkaash. The money, from the sales, has been used to fund the printing of further copies of the Sarbloh Granth.
