Rejoinder-3 to His Wilful Unhistorical Sweeping Statement.
by Dr Anurag Singh
Mr. Harbhjan Singh overloaded with the burden of his Degrees has given a sweeping statement like the Slanderers (NINDAKS) Of Guru Gobind Singh ji and Dasam Granth That No manuscript Of Dasam Granth was compiled during the pontificate Of Guru Gobind Singh ji (1675-1708CE).
This senseless wild imaginative conjectural declaration by a learned university Don, who claims that he is Professor and Doctor, had sent shock waves among the Sikhs of the Guru.
This post is in continuation of two earlier posts. Writers differ on many issues and that is academic issue, but when some one inflated with ego of his Degrees wilfully issue a unhistorical statement then it is called BLUNDER.
I have already demolished his motivated and malicious propaganda of this learned university Professor in my two earlier posts with irrefutable documentary evidence, which like Ragi arshan, Ghagha, Dilgeer, Dhunda, Kala Afghana team, he has challenged with perjurious averments. Today I am uploading the following documents to reduce his motivated propaganda to nugatory:
(1) Opening Folio Of Dasam Granth Bir Of Bhai Daya Singh ji, dated Har Sudi 1, 1755Bk/June 28, 1698CE, Tuesday. The colophon reads: Bani Patshahi Dasven Da Granth, Mangalvar, Asar Sudi 1,1755Bk. Let anybody calculate or refer this date and see the correctness of Date and Day: Tuesday. It is known as Aurangabadi Bir.
(2) Chirana Of Guru Gobind Singh ji,with arrow mark, suffered by Guru Sahib in Battle Of Bhangani (1688CE), and referred by Guru Sahib in Apani Katha (Bachitra Natak).
(3) Hukamnama Of Guru Gobind Singh with Verses Of Var Sri Bhagauti Ji ki, preserved at Kapal Mochan.
(4) Photograph Of Book Release Of Dr Kamalroop Singh and Gurinder Singh Maan On Dasam Granth In USA where the learned Professor-Doctor of the university was present and can be partially seen.
(5) Two Pages from a Contemporary Record written by Mangal Singh of Lachhamipur (Bihar), giving eye-witness Account Of last 20 Days Of Guru Gobind Singh ji with date and time of each event. On the second page it is clearly stated that at the Bhog Ceremony Of Guru Sahib Sawaye From Akal Ustati were recited.
(6) Passages From Kesar Singh Chhiber’s Bansavalinama, frequently quoted by this learned university Professor in his speeches. Interested readers can listen his lectures on Akal Channel, telecasted recently and commented by me on each aspect.
(7) Passages his book on Dasam Granth with dates and facts, which are not only patently wrong but self-contradictory and self-defeating.
(8) Letter Of Bhai Mani Singh with printed text to Mata Sundari Ji, discussed by Harbhajan Singh in detail in his book but without checking up the dates which he had given, demolishing his recent misleading statement to the hilt.
(9) Hukamnama Of Guru Gobind Singh ji to the Family Of Bhai Mani Singh dated Asu Sudi 8,1757Bk / September 7,1700 CE., demolishing his half-baked theory that Mata Sundari appointed Bhai Mani Singh as Granthi Of Darbar Sahib In 1782Bk/1725CE.
The Historical Knowledge Of Professor and Dr Of a University,Of Which He is so proud
Some people do not see what they have already written or spoken in Lectures like our University Don, proud of his Degrees and Post Like Pundit Lal Chand during the times of Guru Hari Krishan.
(i)Kesar Singh Chhiber in his Bansavalinama says that The Sangat requested the Guru to Bind two Granths -Guru Granth Sahib and Dasam Granth- in one Volume in 1698CE. (10:390).
The learned Dr Professor Harbhajan Singh has frequently quoted this verse in his book as well as lectures available on YouTube. Let him now tell which Bir of Dasam Granth is mentioned here in 1698CE? What are the considerations which prompelled him to contradict his writings and statements now?
(ii)See the Page Upload From His Book On Dasam Granth In Which he says that in 1778Bk/1721CE Mata Sundari appointed Bhai Mani Singh As Head-Granthi Of Harimandar Sahib. The cut and paste history of the university Professor is not supported by any historical source except Kesar Singh Chhiber’s Bansavalinama. Now will this learned University
Professor explain that:
(a) From Where Mata Sundari sent Bhai Mani Singh to Amritsar.
(b)Where was Mata Sundari in 1721CE as per historical records.
(c)From Where Bhai Mani Singh went to meet Guru Gobind Singh ji at Sabo ki Talwandi in 1706CE?
(d)How come Bhai Mani Singh wrote a letter to Mata Sundari from Amritsar on 22 Baisakh 1768Bk / April 19, 1711CE, whereas according to him Mata Sundari sent Bhai Mani Singh ji to Amritsar 10 years later?
(e)What is the date of completion of Bhai Mani Singh’s combined Bir Of Guru Granth Sahib and Dasam Granth Sahib?
(f)From Which Pothis Bhai Mani Singh ji prepared the Dasam Granth Bir When No Pothi prior to it was prepared during Guru Gobind Singh’s time.
(g) When There was no Bir Of Dasam Granth before the demise of Guru Gobind Singh ji then from where Kavi Sainapati quoted vereses Of Dasam Granth In GUR-SOBHA In 1711CE, and writer of PREM SUMARAG GRANTH In 1711 CE.
The learned writer of Punjabi University, Dr Professor Harbhajan Singh has highlighted this fact also in his articles in Sant Sipahi Magazine, Jalandhar.
We have seen chameleons changing colours but not the learned fraternity of universes. Let him speak out the considerations for which he has wilfully given this unhistorical, self-contradictory and self-defeating sweeping statement.
Gur-Fateh,
With a promise to upload another post on this newly created sensitive issue tomorrow.

37 Letter of Bhai Mani Singh ji from Amritsar to Mata Sundari dated Baisakh 22,1768Bk/April 19,1711 CE. When Bhai Mani Singh ji was appointed as Head Granthi Of Darbar Sahib In 1721 CE by Mata Sundari ji as per research of the learned university Professor then how come this letter was written 10 years earlier from Amritsar. Let him now respond.

But still our writer with a tag of university Professor is befooling the Sikhs all over the world that during Guru Gobind Singh’s Times Dasam Granth was not compiled.
