Amritsar, July 13, 2021 (Yes Punjab News)
The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) Chief Secretary advocate Harjinder Singh Dhami asked the vice-chancellor of Punjabi University, Patiala to establish a liaison with the SGPC before publishing the ‘Mahan Kosh’ (Encyclopedia of the Sikh Literature) of Bhai Kahn Singh Nabha.
Harjinder Singh Dhami said, “The reprinting of the Mahan Kosh by the Punjabi University, Patiala had exposed a number of mistakes and its sale had been stopped by the Punjab and Haryana High Court after objections from the SGPC and the Sangat (devotees). Later, the university decided to scrap it completely.”
Harjinder Singh Dhami said, “Bhai Kahn Singh Nabha ji’s Mahan Kosh (encyclopedia) is an important document related to the Sikh community, which deals with various topics according to the principles of Gurmat (teachings of the Sikh Gurus). It is the heritage of the Sikh community and must be preserved in its original form.”
“The Punjabi University should liaise with the SGPC to work on the Mahan Kosh and republish it so that any future controversy could be avoided”, said SGPC chief secretary Harjinder Singh Dhami to Punjabi University Patiala’s vice-chancellor.
