Authorship

There is high controversy among various scholars on authorship of Granth. Following are some of points:

  • According to Pundit Tara Singh, Sarabloh Granth was composed by Bhai Sukha Singh, a Granthi of Patna.[5] He put Khalsa Mahima in same granth to make people believe it to be composition of Guru Gobind Singh.
  • According to Bhai Kahn Singh Nabha, Sarabloh Granth was not written by Guru Gobind Singh and Khalsa Mahima appeared in it is out of context to main storyline.[6]
  • According to Sarabloh Granth steek published by Santa Singh Nihang, Sarabloh Granth was written by Guru Gobind Singh and was completed in Nanded. But still in introduction, it is mentioned that this scripture is still under lot of research.[4]
  • Early Sikh historical resources like Sri Gur Sobha, Parchi, Gurbilas Patishahi 10 etc. mention the Khalsa Mahima of Sarabloh Granth.
