As www.shastarvidiya.org is devoted to the Indian Hindu Sikh Martial spirit, an introduction on the second great scripture of Sikhism, Dasam Guru Durbar has been included.

In 1805, Lt.Col .Malcolm who observed the Sikhs, wrote in regards to Dasam Guru Durbar:

'Dasama Padshah Ka Gran'th, or book of the tenth King, which was written by Guru Govind, is considered in every respect, as holy as the Adi Granth of Nanac, and his immediate successors.'
('Sketch of the Sikhs', Lt. Col. Malcolm (1805) Pa. 176)

In 1721, Bhai Mani Singh, the personal scribe of the tenth Sikh Guru compiled the Dasam Guru Durbar. It includes the scattered works of Akali Nihang Guru Gobind Singh. The Akali Nihang Singh Khalsa Panth itself vested 'Guruship' in Dasam Guru Durbar and 'Sarbloh Guru Durbar' (third Sanatan Sikh scripture).

In fact, Akali Nihang tradition holds that without presence of Dasam Guru Durbar, a Sikh cannot be initiated into the Khalsa (ceremony known as 'Amrit Sanchaar'). Such initiation is invalid!

Within Dasam Guru Durbar can be found three types of scripture:

1. 'Amrit Mai Baani' (immortal scriptures)
2. 'Yudh Mai Baani' (war scriptures)
3. 'Sansar Mai Abbeck dee Bani' (worldly scriptures of ignorance)
