Who was Granthi Singh -- 1699 (Visakhi)?

[paapiman]

Sangat jee - Does anyone know, who was the Granthi Singh on the day, Khalsa was created?

Srimaan Baba Budda jee Maharaaj was the first Granthi appointed by Satguru jee. Who were the Mukhi Granthis after him?

Thanks

Bhul chuk maaf

have never heard of it being documented, or mentioned in any katha. Can't see the importance of it myself though.

Bhai Mani Singh was appointed Granthi of the Harmandir Sahib and Jathedar of the Akal Takhat.^[27] Mani Singh thus became the third Granthi of the Harmandir Sahib, after Baba Buddha and Bhai Gurdas.

Not necessarily. BHai Mani SIngh took control of affairs at Sri HariMandir Sahib around 1722. Both Baba BUddha and Bhai Gurdas had passed away around a century earlier.

From the period of Guru Hargobind up to Guru Hargobind the minas were in charge of the Sri Harimandir Sahib. Shortly after 1699 Bhai Mani Singh and a jatha of soldiers wrested it back and kicked the minas out

Where did you get this info Amardeep? According to history Bhai Mani Singh was a companion of Guru Gobind Singh upto 1704, and then with Mata Ji's at Delhi. There is no mention of Bhai Sahib coming to Darbar Sahib until TatKhalsa-Bandei issue.

I'll find the source, can't quite remember where I read it.

Wikipedia has similiar narration:

In 1699, after the Khalsa Panth was created with the famous Amrit ceremony and Rahit Maryada (Code of conduct of the Khalsa) was ordained, Guru Gobind Singh sent Bhai Mani Singh and five other Khalsas to Amritsar with instructions to take possession of the Harmandir Sahib. Bhai Mani Singh was appointed Granthi of the Harmandir Sahib and Jathedar of the Akal Takhat.^[27] Mani Singh thus became the third Granthi of the Harmandir Sahib, after Baba Buddha and Bhai Gurdas

Not too sure about that wikipedia article. There is absolutely no mention of Bhai Mani Singh being present at sri Darbar Sahib when Baba Banda Singh went there with army around 1714 ish. I'm not even sure that there was a "Jathedar" of Sri Akal Takht Sahib then either.

But in keeping with the original question of this topic, has your question been answered paapiman?

Most likely, it was Srimaan 108 Shaheed Baba Mani Singh jee Maharaaj.
