Guru Granth Sahib Ji

Adi Granth: Guru Granth Sahib Ji | Punjab State (PPSC) PSC: Preparation - PPSC PCS (Punjab)

Adi Granth, which means 'The First Book,' is the earliest compilation of Sikh scriptures by Guru Arjan Dev Ji, the fifth Guru, in 1604. This holy scripture of the Sikhs includes Gurbani and Bhagatbani. The main principle behind its compilation was to include verses that praised God and condemned superstition and caste. Guru Arjan Dev Ji focused on verses from those who believed in the unity of God and the brotherhood of humanity.

The Adi Granth comprises compositions from the first five Gurus, 15 Bhagats (saints), and 11 Bhattas (bards). Guru Gobind Singh Ji later added 115 hymns of his father, Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji, to this volume. The Guru Granth Sahib contains a total of 5,894 hymns and 15,575 stanzas.

Baba Buddha was appointed as the first Granthi or keeper of the scripture. The original copy, compiled and authenticated by Guru Arjan Dev Ji, still exists and is preserved in Kartarpur, a town near Jalandhar. The Guru Granth Sahib Ji is unique as the only holy scripture in the world written by the founders of the religion during their lifetime.

When the entire text is read by a single reader without interruption, it is called Ati Akhand Path. When read by a group, it is known as Akhand Path, and when read for an unlimited time, it is called Sahaj Path.
