FilledToTheBrim Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 I've tried searching up where the nitnem bani comes from and the discussions usually turn into a fight over historical sources and their reliability. I was wondering why Sri Gur Katha was not mentioned since it was written by Bhai Jaita Singh who was a contemporary of Guru Gobind Singh. The Quote can be found here on page 10 of this document Each of the Five in their turn recites the five scriptures. With chanting the Jap, Jaap, Sawaiye, Chaupai, Anand consecrate the amrit. Let the Initiate drink it five times with cupped hands and dab with it his eyes and tresses. 3 I tried to search it up but can't find much. Is there a reason why this isn't mentioned? Is it unreliable? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amardeep Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 There is no history behind this Granth. No scholar of the past as far as im aware has ever mentioned it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amardeep Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 The lack of a history doesn’t mean it’s unauthentic. But it makes it more difficult to ascertain it’s authenticity. Regardless, the poetry in it is very unique and beautiful. I really enjoyed studying it some years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilledToTheBrim Posted May 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 I just thought it was worth asking because it feels like it's too good to be true that it describes not only the same Amrit banis but the same kakkars. Singh Sabha struggled to standardise the kakkars cause there weren't any historical sources that mentioned all five. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 5 Kakkars are mentioned in Gurbani (Sri Dasam Granth). “ The following five K’s are the mark of Sikhi. These five can never be parted from the body. Kara, Kirpan, Kashera, Kangha, recognise these as four of them. The fifth is Kesh, without which the other four are useless. “ Bhul chuk maaf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
