After the compiling and then assigning of Raags (musical modes) to Gurbani, in 1604, the compilation was sent to Lahore for binding. As soon as this was completed, Aad Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee was brought to Harmandir Sahib from Ramsar Sahib by Baba Budda Ji who carried the Saroop on their head while Guru Arjan Dev Ji did Chaur Sahib Seva (waving the Royal Fan above Aad Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee).
Upon arrival, Aad Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee was seated on a Manji Sahib (Respected Bedstead) and Guru Arjan Dev Jee sat lower than Them. Seeing this, the Sangat (congregation) developed the greatest respect for Gurbani (Guru’s words). Today we celebrate that auspicious day when Baba Budda Ji did Prakash of Sri Aad Granth Sahib Jee and the Sangat were blessed with the following hukamnama:
ਸੂਹੀ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥
soohee mehalaa panjvaa |
Raag Suhi, Fifth Mehal:
ਸੰਤਾ ਕੇ ਕਾਰਜਿ ਆਪਿ ਖਲੋਇਆ ਹਰਿ ਕੰਮੁ ਕਰਾਵਣਿ ਆਇਆ ਰਾਮ ॥
santaa ke kaaraj aap khaloeaa har kam karaavan aaeaa raam |
Vaheguru Himself has stood up to resolve the affairs of the Saints; He has come to complete their tasks.
ਧਰਤਿ ਸੁਹਾਵੀ ਤਾਲੁ ਸੁਹਾਵਾ ਵਿਚਿ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਜਲੁ ਛਾਇਆ ਰਾਮ ॥
dharat suhaavee taal suhaavaa vich amrit jal chhaeaa raam |
The land is beautiful, and the pool is beautiful; within it is contained the Ambrosial Water.
