Sri Guru Arjan
Dev Ji, began the great task of collecting all the holy compositions at
Sri Ramsar (Amritsar) and compiled the Sri Guru Granth Sahib. Sri Guru
Gobind Ji passed the final Gur-Gaddi (GuruShip) to Sri Guru Granth Sahib
Ji commanding that it is the Eternal Guru of the Khalsa Panth. Sri Guru
Granth Sahib is the Light of the Ten Guru's. In the passing over of the
GuruShip to the Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji announced:
- Agya bhai Akal ki tabhi chalayo Panth Under orders of the immortal
being, the Panth was created.
- Sabh Sikhan ko hukam hai Guru manyo Granth All the Sikhs are enjoined
to accept the Granth as their Guru.
- Guru Granth Ji manyo pargat Guran ki deh Consider the Guru Granth as
embodiment of the Gurus.
- Jo Prabhu ko milbo chahe khoj shabad mein le Those who want to meet
God, can find him in its hymns.
- Raj karega Khalsa aqi rahei na koe The Khalsa shall rule, and its opponents
will be no more
- Khwar hoe sabh milange bache sharan jo hoe. Those separated will unite
and all the devotees shall be saved.
- Waheguru naam jarhaj hai, charohai so uthrai par The name "WaheGuru" is
like a ship whose passengers will safely cross the ocean
- Jo sharda kar savday Guru Par utaran har Those who give selfless services
will be assigned by the Guru himself
- Kanda Jakay hat hai Kalkie sahay sis Our protector is he who is crowned
with the plume
- So hamri rakika kary Guru kalgidar jagdish" And whose hand bears the
mighty double-edged sword
