Can parkash of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji and Sri Dasam Guru, Granth Shaib Ji be done together?
We'll discuss about this Maryada in Sikhi which is not an issue but is being raked up as an ''issue'' to divide Sikhs.
When Guru Nanak Dev Ji was asked by Siddhs as Sumer Parbat(Mount Kailash) who was his Guru, Maharaj Ji replied ''Shabad Guru''. At one place , maharaj ji tells about his Guru as
'' Apranpar Paar-Brahm Parmeshar,Nanak Gur Milya soyi jeeo''.
What Maharaj ji stated to the world was that One Lord Akaal is His Guru and he is Shabad roop.
Guru Gobind Singh ji stated the same truth in his Baani Chaupai Sahib ''
Hamri Karro Hath Deh RaSha Porran Hoe Chitt Ki Isha Tavv Charnan Mann Rahe Hamara APpna Jann Karro Pritparra
Guru Nanak Dev Ji's and Guru Gobind Singh Ji's Guru was One, One Akaal Roop, Shabad roop Waheguru! If this is so then what is the title, duty, value of our Ten Gurus? How are they Gurus?
Yes, they are Gurus, because they carried Shabad in their bodies, they were one with Shabad. Their physical bodies were respected because they gave message of One Lord Akaal purakh through them! So in reality, ultimate Guru is Shabad, but the Deh, the body which carries that Shabad is also worshippable and respected. This small vichaar is enough to explain why Sri Dasam Granth Sahib ji is respected and worshipped by Sikhs.
Lets move to one very important chapter of Sikh History!
On 30th August 1604, Guru Arjan Dev Ji did first parkash of Adh- Granth in Sri Harimandir sahib. Saroop of Adh Granth Sahib ji was brought by Maharaj ji to Sri harimandir Sahib from Raamsar. Baba Buddha Ji was carrying the saroop, and Guru Arjan Dev Ji was doing chaur di sewa. Amazing! Why was Guru doing chaur di sewa on Adh Granth which was not Guru yet?
Then Guruji reaches Harimandir Sahib and here a Peerha Sahib is ready with beautiful rumalle for Adh Granth Sahib ji. Granth Sahib ji is placed on Peerha sahib and Baba Buddha Ji does parkash of Adh Granth Sahib Ji. Here we have to under stand the meaning of parkash, it means TO OPEN. Unless you open a Gutka sahib how will you recite gurbani from it? After parkash Baba Buddha ji took Hukamnaama from Adh Granth Sahib Ji. During all this time , Guru Arjan Dev ji was sitting with sangat on the floor. In the night when time for rest came, Guru Arjan Dev Ji started the maryada of Sukhasan of Granth Sahib ji. Guru Ji slept on the floor, and Holy Granth Sahib was placed on the bed where earlier Guruji used to sleep.
Time went by and Guruji had to give his Shaheedi, 6th Guru, Guru Hargobind Maharaj sat on Gur-gaddi but the maryada of sewa of Granth Sahib ji continued uninterrupted. Guru-jyot kept changing its physical form, but maryada was the same during all gurus regarding sewa of Granth Sahib Ji. Now
the question arises, why did Guru Arjan Dev Ji and subsequent Gurus place Granth Sahib ji on Peerha Sahib higher than them, and they themselves sat in the sangat, did all the sewa, parkash, sukhasan, chaur sahib on Granth Sahib ji when it had not been given the title of Guru yet ?
Answer to these questions is the answer to maryada of sewa of Sri Dasam Granth Sahib.
When Bhai Mani Singh ji and Baba Deep Singh Ji compiled Baani of Guru Gobind SIngh ji Maharaj, they had the example of Guru Arjan Dev ji in front of them. That is why they gave full respect, which should be given, to baani of Gurus, to Sri Dasam Granth Sahib ji, because they were not like today's Nindaks, who doubted baani, they believed every word to be of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, and therefore stood for baani's honour.
Like Guru Nanak Dev ji the ten Gurus are respected and worshipped because they held the holy Shabad in them, as Guru Granth Sahib ji was respected even before attaining Guruship, Sri Dasam Granth Sahib ji is also respected because it beholds the Shabad in it.
1. If Guru Arjan Dev ji, being Guru can place Adh Granth Sahib Ji, which contained baanis of Gurus, Sants, Bhagats, gursikhs, Bhatts on a higher level than himself, do you think Guru Granth Sahib ji might have a problem with baani of Guru Gobind Singh ji being respected and worshipped in the same way?
2. If only the Guru has the right to sit in palki, Takhat, Gaddi,then why did Guru Arjan Dev ji Maharaj do parkash of Adh-Granth Sahib Ji on a palki??
3. If Guru Arjan Dev ji , being Guru, can do chaur sahib over Granth Sahib ji, why can't his Sikhs do same to baani of Guru Gobind Singh ji Maharaj ?
4. How will we read Dasam Baani if we dont do Parkash of Sri Dasam Granth Sahib ji?( parkash means to open)
5. If people dont want Sri Dasam Granth to be placed on Peerha Sahib or Palki Sahib, then what are the options we have? Either we put it on Raal, which is not big enough for a 1428 ang Granth or second option is we put it on the floor. So whats the best option ?
6.If Sri Dasam Granth Sahib ji's parkash cannot be done with Guru Granth Sahib ji, why is baani of Dasam Granth printed in the same Gutka Sahibs which have baani of Guru Granth Sahib ji? Are we doing a sin by printing baani of Both Granths in One Gutka Sahib?
When Guru Nanak Dev Ji was asked by Siddhs as Sumer Parbat(Mount Kailash) who was his Guru, Maharaj Ji replied ''Shabad Guru''. At one place , maharaj ji tells about his Guru as

Dasam Granth is always placed on left hand side of Sanctum sanctorum at Takhats or at the left hand side of Guru Granth Sahib ji at Taksal or Nihang Chaunis, this is for respect of Guru Granth Sahib ji , showing superiorty of Guru Granth Sahib ji. Dont we do parikarma of Maharaj with keeping Guruji on our right hand side. Ever thought why we do that?
All Nihang Dalls , Damdami Taksal regularly have parkash of both Granth Sahibs and will perform akhand path (continuous recital) of Dasam Granth Ji, to this day two parkashes happen at Hazoor Sahib, Nanded the very place Guru Gobind Singh Ji ascended to Satch Khand. So why are we having this controversy? Who are these fools who are causing this controversy? Are their interlects greater then that of Baba Deep Singh Ji whose handwritten Dasam Granth is in existance, or Bhai Mani Singh Ji also whose handwritten saroop of Dasam Granth Ji can be viewed by anyone?
Sri Dasam Granth has been reffered to as ''Chota Granth Ji'' in history books, like younger brother of Guru and today people are making them look like two opponents who are fighting it out. Please wake up, and stand up for respect of Sri Dasmesh Pita's Baani! Unite, the day we unite, these Pakhandis, our inner enemies will just vanish into thin air.

Historical Evidence for Dasam Granth Bansavalinama is a book that was written by Kesar Singh Chibbar in 1769,
It talks clearly about the status about Dasam Granth and quotes Dasam Granth throughout the book. On page 244 Kesar Singh explains the history of Guru-ship from Guru Nanak to the Guru Granth.

The tenth King has given the Guruship to the Granth Sahib.
ਬਿਨਾਂ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਕੋਈ ਹੋਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੇ, ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਹੈਨਿ ਦੁਇ ਸਕੇ ਭਾਈ ।
Without the Granth there is nothing else, the Granth Sahib has it's form in two brothers.
ਇਕ ਹੈ ਵਡਾ ਇਕ ਛੋਟਾ ਕਹਾਈ ।੨੬੫।
[Recognize] One as larger [brother, which is Adi Granth] and one as smaller [brother, Dasam Granth].
ਸੰਮਤੁ ਸੋਲ੍ਹਾ ਸੈ ਅਠਵੰਜਾ ਸੇ ਗਏ । ਤਬ ਆਦਿ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਜਿ ਜਨਮੁ ਲਏ ।
In 1658 Bikrami the Adi Granth took birth [was created].
ਗੁਰੂ ਅਰਜਨ ਜੀ ਕੇ ਧਾਮ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਜਨਮੁ ਹੈ ਧਾਰਾ ।

ਸੰਮਤੁ ਸਤਾਰਾਂ ਸੈ ਪਚਵੰਜਾ, ਬਹੁਤ ਖਿਡਾਵੇ-ਲਿਖਾਰੇ ਨਾਮ ।
In 1755 Bikrami [it was born], [Guru Ji wrote it] under many names [Das Gobind, Syaam, Ram, Kaal etc].
ਸਾਹਿਬ ਨੂੰ ਸੀ ਪਿਆਰਾ । ਹੱਥੀ ਲਿਖਿਆ, ਖਿਡਾਇਆ ।

ਸਿਖਾਂ ਕੀਤੀ ਅਰਦਾਸੁ, ਜੀ ਅਗਲੇ ਨਾਲਿ ਚਾਹੀਏ ਰਲਾਇਆ ।੨੬੭।

ਬਚਨ ਕੀਤਾ, "ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਹੈ ਉਹੁ, ਏਹ ਅਸਾਡੀ ਹੈ ਖੇਡ ।"
[Guru Gobind Singh Ji] said, "Granth Sahib is the Adi, and [Dasam Grath] is my play."
ਨਾਲ ਨ ਮਿਲਾਇਆ ਆਹਾ ਪਿਆਰਾ, ਕਉਨ ਜਾਣੇ ਭੇਦ ।
The wonderous beloved Guru Gobind Singh did not merge them together, who can understand this secret of Guru Sahib? [of why they were kept separate]
ਸੋ, ਦੋਨੋ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਭਾਈ ਗੁਰ ਕਰ ਜਾਨੋ ।
So, recognize both Granth Sahib's as Guru and brothers.
ਵਡਾ ਹੈ ਟਿਕਾ ਗੁਰੂ, ਗੁਟਕੇ-ਪੋਥੀਆਂ ਪੁਤ੍ਰ ਪੋਤ੍ਰੇ ਕਰਿ ਪਛਾਨੋ ।੨੬੮।
The larger [Adi Granth] received the Tika [Guruship], the smaller gutka-pothian recognize them as sons and grandson.

ਸੰਮਤੁ ਸਤਾਰਾਂ ਸੈ ਪਚਵੰਜੇ, ਸਿਖਾਂ ਬਿਨਤੀ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਅਗੇ ਸੀ ਕੀਤੀ ।
In 1755 Bikrami, Sikhs had done a plea in front of Sahib [Guru Gobind Singh].
"ਗਰੀਬ ਨਿਵਾਜ ! ਜੋ ਬਚਨ ਹੋਵੈ ਤਾਂ ਦੋਹਾਂ ਗ੍ਰੰਥਾਂ ਦੀ ਜਿਲਦ ਇਕ ਚਹੀਐ ਕਰਿ ਲੀਤੀ ।"
"Oh protector of the poor!, If you make the commandment, we shall put both Granths in one cover [one Granth]."
ਸਾਹਿਬ ਬਚਨ ਕੀਤਾ: "ਆਦਿ ਗੁਰੂ ਹੈ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ । ਇਹ ਅਸਾਡੀ ਹੈ ਖੇਡ, ਜੁਦਾ ਰਹੇ ਮਨ ਮੰਥ ।"

Lets Pray for charhdi kala of panth, respect baani, whether it is in Guru Granth Sahib ji or Sri Dasam Guru Granth Sahib ji. There was a time, Sri Dasam Granth was parkash at all the five Takhats. The day SGPC stopped parkash at the Takhats controlled by it, our Chardi kala has taken a halt.
