Das Granthi
 | This article may be too technical for most readers to understand. (December 2015) |
Das Granthi (ਦਸ ਗ੍ਰੰਥੀ) is a small religious booklet containing only few selected compositions from Dasam Granth, the second scripture of Sikhs. Das stands for Ten and Granthi stands for booklet. It means Booklet of 10th Guru of Sikhism. This booklet was created for beginners and lay readers for reading these compositions in daily liturgy for proper understanding.[1][2][3]
There is no standardization of this booklet and various sects in Sikhism have their own versions. The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee contains eight texts namely, Japu, Bachitra Natak, Chandi Charitra I, Shabad Patshahi 10, Akal Ustati, Chandi Charitra 2, Gian Prabodh and Chandi di Var.[4]
