Some question Puratan
Saroop's authenticity
Claims: Bhai Manvir Singh
Khalsa
Recently, a gold-coated Saroop that was claimed by the SGPC as
having been written by Shaheed Baba Deep Singh Ji was scanned and
uploaded to the Internet. In the past, no one has publicly challenged
the SGPC 's claim, however, after the Saroop was made available to
the public, various questions arose that cast doubt on the SGPC's
claim. Our investigation into the issues raised in relation to the
allegation revealed serious conclusions.
The Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC) was
established in 1920, a Sikh organization to manage all Sikh shrines
and Gurdwaras in Punjab, including Sri Harmandir Sahib, Amritsar.
The SGPC is also responsible for keeping and preserving historical
weapons, clothing, scriptures, literature, writings, and memorials, and
preaching the Sikh faith.
We interviewed an SGPC Granthi employee who asked SinghStation
to remain anonymous for fear of reprisals from the SGPC. According
to Bhai Manvir Singh Khalsa said that he told us, " This Saroop is not
written by Baba Deep Singh Ji, but it is what the SGPC is telling the
public to make money."With a heavy heart, he said," This Saroop has
so many mistakes and inconsistencies.
This does not even match the other Saroops or writings allegedly
written by Baba Deep Singh Ji. To claim that this Saroop is written
by Baba Deep Singh Ji is a serious insult to Baba Ji. The Saroop is
not even written by a single writer. This is evident from the different
handwriting styles of the Saroop.
All the Sikh gurus and all the Sikhs who followed, until the middle of
the twentieth century, wrote Gurbani in "Larivaar", uninterrupted
continuous writing. Even non-Gurbani texts and literature in
Gurmukhi were written in Larivaar format.
Therefore, it was shocking to see that the Saroop claiming to be
written by Baba Deep Singh Ji broke words, known as ` Pad Chhed "
and in addition, a hyphen (-) was used, which is unknown in
Gurbani's historical writing.
Regarding the fact that Sikhs around the world are now available
online, he said: “I am glad and hopeful that awake Sikhs can
highlight the shortcomings of the SGPC claim when researching this
Saroop.
This Saroop is a handwritten copy of the modern SGPC printed
Saroop. SGPC did not strive to print Saroops correctly and participate
in the hard research of Gurmukhs. Instead, since I've been printing
Saroop to date, there's a slight discrepancy between Saroop.”
When asked who wrote this Saroop, we said, “I don't know. But what
is beyond the record can be said that the SGPC was infiltrated to the
highest level by anti-Sikh institutions. Non-Sikhs were employed to
produce handwritten copies of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji and make
Saroop look historic and ancient.
They can't remove or add Shabads, so they're making careful changes
to remove 'unkars'and 'siharis'(grammatical symbols)that most people
don't choose. This is to allow them to confuse Gursikhs reading
Gurbani with regard to what they consider historical Saroop in the
future.”
When asked if there were any other activities of SGPC related to
historical Sarup or claims of authenticity of writings, we said, “Yes. I
will share one thing with you. A few years ago, SGPC toured Punjab
with a procession. They publicly exhibited Baba Deep Singh Ji's
Shastras and Pothi Sahibs.
No one read it, took it in his hand and showed it to the public, and
said that this Pothi Sahib or Gutka Sahib was written by Baba Deep
Singh Ji."He said," As SGPC Granthi, I got the opportunity to access
Pothi Sahibs and Gutka Sahibs. When I read them I was shocked that
they seem ancient, not historical, but modern handwritten Gutka
Sahibs.
"When asked why he thought SGPC did this, he replied,” No wonder
it makes Sangat stupid and makes money." We investigated the
Saroop, which Shaheed Bhai Mani Singh claims to have authored.
The site was uploaded to the same website as Saroop, which claimed
to be written by Baba Deep Singh Ji.
The Saroop, which claims to have been written by Bhai Mani Singh
Ji, is a combined Saroop of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji and Sri Dasam
Granth. This is not common practice. Several mistakes were
discovered at a glance in Saroop, raising serious questions about the
claims made.
In Mool Mantar at the beginning of Siree Raag, 'Satnam'is missing
'unkar'at the end and the author forgot to write 'Gur'in 'Gurprasaad'.
And in Jaap Sahib, the author says that if the interval between 'Ik'and
'Ounkar'is 1.5 centimeters, then 'Ik Ounkar' should be connected
according to the Larivar (continuous gapless writing) tradition of
Gurus.
The opening of Jaap Sahib is completely different from the reading
of the historical Sri Dasam Granth Sahib, Pothi Sahib or Jaap Sahib
accepted throughout the Panth. SGPC and modern scholars have
profited by propagating false claims that Saroops are historical or
erroneous claims of the author.
Such actions are harmful in causing
confusion and undermining the value
of truly true Saroop and manuscripts
written by historical Sikh religious
preserved by Sikh Gurus and Panth.
