his death, Guru Gobind Singh declared this updated Pothi Sahib with the Bani of the 9 th Guru:
his father (Damdami Bir) a Guru, and it became ‘Guru Granth Sahib’ - the Holy Book.
Dassam Granth – The Bani (Scripture) of the Tenth Master Guru Gobind Singh, is from his
separate ‘Dassam Granth’ (Book of the Tenth Master).
NOTES: Every author tries to translate with all the best he or she has within the limits of the
individual amplitude of the knowledge. It makes it natural for the different versions to vary in
their certain areas. This has its own beauty in helping to widen the mental horizons of the
readers. It provides for the attitude of the reader an open field for its own game of intelligence,
and with a choice to enjoy with an open mind the work presented.
All effort has been made to use very easy Gurmukhi and English words so that the
translation can be understood without the need of any other help.
This version of the translation is not a word by word rendering, or an effort to create a
dictionary of the words used in the Scripture, but is a broad based work to make easy
understanding of the essence of the Scripture. It is mainly aimed at serving the need of the
novice, especially the English knowing youth, particularly in the developed countries. It is
equally useful for the people in India, and anywhere else.
At places, the bridging and explanatory element has been introduced in an effort to
make harmonious the transition of the Scripture from one step to the next. The study of the
other elaborate works is suggested for the deeper details.
On the suggestion of Dr. K.S. Thind, an easy Jappu ji Sahib translation was taken up on
the 15th November 2000. It was printed under the name of The Morning Prayer. Later, it
continued as the Nit-Nem translation, which was completed on the 15 th June 2001, Sunday.
Such a project could be completed in a short time due to copying Gurbani and its roman from
the Gurbani-CD., created by Dr. Kulbir Singh Thind, MD., and by his electronic format setting.
