Subject: Takht Sri Hazoor Sahib and Patna Sahib must follow Sikh Rehat Maryada

As Sikh panth is celebrating Tercentenary celebrations of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji’s
Guruship sanctified by Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, it is a transgression and strict
violation of his edict to do parallel prakash of Dasam Granth along with Sri Guru
Granth Sahib Ji. It cannot be treated at par with Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Doing
this is creating dilemma and disesteeming the reverence of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji,
which is an offence and playing in the hands of anti-sikh elements.

As per Sikh Rehat Maryada (Chapter 4, Article 5) which was approved in 1936:

“No book should be installed like and at par with the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Worship
of any idol or any ritual or activity should not be allowed to be conducted inside the
Gurudwara. Nor should the festival of any other faith be allowed to be celebrated
inside the Gurudwara.”

Again on 6 June 2008 following edict was passed at Sri Akal Takht Sahib, Amritsar.

“Dasam Granth is inseparable scripture of Sikh panth’s history and literature, but Sri
Guru Gobind Singh Ji didn’t give same recognition as Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. He
sanctified only Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, so parallel prakash of any other granth
cannot be done along with Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.”

Therefore, I humbly request you that only Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji’s prakash should
be done at Takht Sahib.
