History
DamDami Taksal was created from
the incidence, which occurred when the tenth master, Guru Gobind
Singh was at Takht Sri Anandpur Sahib. At that time, a beloved
priest was reciting the Panj Granth with sincerity. Whilst reciting
the gurbani he made one continuous mistake in the Dachanee Onkar
path. This was noticed by Bhai Daya Singh Ji, and other Sikh followers,
who then approached the tenth master saying 'Oh great one, bestow
your blessings upon your followers and teach us the way to read
and understand the Gurbani without which we do not stand corrected.'
When ever the beloved followers put a request forward to the Guru
Ji he would never disregard the congregations wishes. Once free
from the battles, proceeding after his sacrificed sons (4 Shahejade),
who gave there lives away for there religion, Guru Ji went on
to Talwandi and asked of the Singhs to 'go to Kartarpur Sahib
to see Theer Mal. When the fifth master, Guru Arjan Dev Ji was
reciting the gurbani, he left a space for where the Ninth Guru
was to complete it. Whilst getting the Guru Granth Sahib Ji complete
the translations shall be explained.'

Shaheed Baba Deep Singh Ji went to see Teer
Mal, and replied if Guru Gobind Singh Ji is so great why cannot he recite
the gurbani off by heart. To make Teer Mal eat his words Guru Ji went to Takht
Sri Dam Dama Sahib Sabho Ke Talwandi, to then recite the whole of the Guru
Granth Sahib Ji with the aid of Bhai Mani Singh being the scriber. With so
much swiftness at that very day the Jap Ji Sahib, reheraas Sahib and the Kirtan
Sohila was concluded, and that very evening, it was all translated to the
congregation. This began the process of writing, reading and translating of
the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, to the 48 followers and the congregation. The
papers, pens and ink were supplied with great homage by Baba Deep Singh Ji.
It took 9 months 9 days from 1762 until 1763 to complete the whole of the
translation from Ik Onkar to Attarehi Das Bees. Where at the ending of the
Guru Ji's teaching, a large ceremony took place which left the whole Sikh
nation astonished by Guru seva.
From hearing the translation from the Guru Ji (10th), the 48 followers gained
devine knowledge (Brahm Giaan) which left them detached from all material
status. Guru Ji gave permission to Bhai Manni Singh and Baba Deep Singh Ji
to take forward this seva and teach others there learnings. Even if your bodys
are cut into pieces or your head is removed from your body, you will remain
focused to your devine knowledge.
Guru Ji sent Bhai Mani Singh to Amritsar and
sent Baba Deep Singh Jee to Taksal Damdama Sahib to run The Taksal's teachings.
Both Taksals have been running with the blessings of the divine knowledge
of great saints (refer to historical tree) who have taught the Guru Jee preaching's
one by one. From Baba Deep Singh onwards the chain of Jathedars of DamDami
Taksal has never broken. As now the Jathedar of DamDami Taksal is Sant Giani
Jarnail Singh Ji Khalsa Bhindrawale, acting Jathedar Sant Baba Takhur Singh
Ji.
