Guru gobind singh autobiography bachittar natak translation

Introduction

Bachittar Natak is a prominent composition that forms a part of the Dasam Granth, a sacred scripture of Sikhism. It is an autobiographical narrative written by Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru.

The term “Bachittar Natak” translates to “The Wonderful Drama” in English.

The question of authorship is central to any debate on Bachitar Natak (these days being called Dasam Granth). Because if Guru Gobind Singh ji is not the author of the compilation it does not hold any significance for Sikhs.

But what makes things complex is that enemies of Sikhism mixed the wrings of Guru Gobind Singh ji with the writings of Hindu scriptures translated by some poets.

Banis contained in Bachitra Natak (Dasam Granth )which are written by Guru Gobind Singh ji and the entire Panth agreed on this as far back as 1877 are:

1. Jaap Sahib
2. Akaal Ustat Jafarnama
3. Tenti (33 ) sawaiye
4. Shabad Hazare : apart form shabad Mitar pyare nu haal mureeda da
