The big question that arises
here is when did Guru Gobind singh ji got the time to write such a huge
book called Bachittar natak?
Guru Grnth Sahib ji has 1430 pages which were
written in duration of 700 years. From baba farid in 10th century to
Guru Tegbahadur sahib ji in 17th century.
And now all the experts agree that no such
book existed prior to 1896. When some Sodhak committee was formed by
Pujaris, who used to control gurdwaras at that time, which accumulated
this random poems and claim them to be of Guru Gobind Singh ji's.
It was during the SGPC movement of 1925 that
gurdwaras came under the control of Sikhs.
This book Bachittar
natak is translation of Markanday Puran which itself was written in 9th
century. This fact is accepted by gaini mal Singh in his book
dasam granth bodh, part - 1. He says Guru sahib translated Markanday
puran to get sikh educated.
The bigger question is didn't Guru sahib knew
that Markanday puran is a mythological book and it binds human mind
instead of liberating it.
The concept of Bachittar Natak is against the
ethics of Sri Guru Grnth Sahib ji, which doesn't believe in incarnations
and rebirths. Didn't Guru Gobind singh ji knew about that?
