The Guru Granth Sahib ਗੁਰੂ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ or Adi Granth is the final Guru of the Sikhs. It has 1430 angs or pages which is composed during the period of Sikh Gurus from 1469 to 1708.

Why do you put the Granth Sahib on a bed --- Why the Chanani or canopy?
Please always treat any Gurbani text with the utmost respect. Never place any Gurbani (in original Gurmukhi) text on the floor or ground. One should keep Gutkas covered in Rumallas. The Full version of Guru Granth Sahib must be treated as eternal Guru.This is to express our regards and our respect for the Holy Scripture, the True King. The king commanded the greatest power, hence also the maximum respect and honor, in the olden days. Guru Nanak said that the true kings are those who love God and help others to do that. They are the rulers of the hearts of the people. The political kings are temporary kings and their authority ends with their death. The Gurus are the true kings; they teach Truth and rule our hearts. The Guru Granth Sahib is the embodiment of the spirit of all the Sikh Gurus and many other holy men whose hymns are included in it. We respect them as the true kings.The king sat on a throne under a canopy. He used to have a fanlike structure to be waved over his head as a symbol of his royalty. The Guru Granth Sahib, being the true emperor, is provided all these regal paraphernalia in the Gurdwara. We install the scripture on a throne (called Manji Sahib) with pillows around for supporting it. A canopy (Chanani) is provided above the scripture in the same way as it was put over the head of a king while he attended his court. During the session (Diwan), a person, with Chaur in his hand, is always in attendance on the scripture installed respectfully in the hall. For maintaining due regards and respect, we carry this holy scripture to another room when the hall is to be cleaned or when the session is over for the day. Before we bring the Guru Granth Sahib in the hall, we set everything in the hall properly. This is the court of the Guru. You will understand the whole ceremony better if you bring into mind the scene of the courtroom where everything is set and made ready before a judge enters his court. The Guru Granth Sahib is the Emperor of Emperors, hence all these ceremonial decorations.

Why a Sikh might become a member of the Khalsa?
The word "Khalsa" is derived from Arabic khalis (literally meaning "pure" or "unsullied") and Perso-Arabic khalisah (literally pure; office of revenue department; lands directly under government management), is used collectively for the community of baptised Sikhs.The word "Khalsa" appears in the Guru Granth Sahib. It is mentioned in the bani of Bhagat Kabir thus: ਕਹੁ ਕਬੀਰ ਜਨ ਭਏ ਖਾਲਸੇ ਪ੍ਰੇਮ ਭਗਤਿ ਜਿਹ ਜਾਨੀ ॥੪॥੩॥Kaho Kabīr Jan bẖa ė kẖālsė parėm bẖagaṯ jih jānī. ॥4॥3॥Says Kabeer, those humble people become pure - they become Khalsa- who know the Lord's loving devotional worship.॥4॥3॥ (SGGS p655)Although the word "Khalsa" existed before 1699, it is accepted that the Khalsa panth or Khalsa movement was started by the tenth Sikh Master. In the Sikh Holy book, called the Guru Granth Sahib, Bhagat Kabir uses the word "Khalsa" for the first time in Sikh sacred literature. The tuk (line) that contains this word is: ਪਰਿਓ ਕਾਲੁ ਸਭੈ ਜਗ ਊਪਰ ਮਾਹਿ ਲਿਖੇ ਭ੍ਰਮ ਗਿਆਨੀ ॥ ਕਹੁ ਕਬੀਰ ਜਨ ਭਏ ਖਾਲਸੇ ਪ੍ਰੇਮ ਭਗਤਿ ਜਿਹ ਜਾਨੀ ॥੪॥੩॥Pari o kāl sabẖai jag ūpar māhi likẖė bẖaram gi ānī. Kaho Kabīr Jan bẖa ė kẖālsė parėm bẖagaṯ jih jānī. ॥4॥5॥Death has fallen on the whole world; the doubting religious scholars are also listed on the Register of Death. Says Kabeer, those humble people become pure - they become Khalsa - who know the Lord's loving devotional worship.॥4॥5॥ (SGGS p654)In Gurbani (or holy hymns), Amrit is repeatedly equated with naam, the Name, or Sabda, the Word (e.g. Sri Guru Granth Sahib, 729,644,538,394). It is Amrit of the True Name which when imbibed quenches and satiates all appetites (Sri Guru Granth Sahib, 594).Amrit is also used in Gurbani in the adjectival sense of sweet, delicious, good, sweetsounding, etc. in phrases such as "amritu bhojanu namu hari" "God`s Name is delicious food" (Sri Guru Granth Sahib, 556), "amrit katha" dulcet discourse (GG, 255), "amrit dristi" immortalizing glance (GG, l9l), "Amrita pria bachan tuhare" sweet are Thy words, 0 Dear One (GG, 534). Guru Amar Das Ji in an Astpadi (eightstanza hymn) in Majh measure describes different characteristics of amrit such as eradicator of ego, producer of amrit effect, a means to liv (concentration,) and giver of happiness (Sri Guru Granth Sahib, 11819).This amrit of God`s Name is realized from within one's self and can be realized at any hour of day or night, but the best time conducive to realization is the last quarter of night or the early morning to which Guru Nanak refers as Amrit Vela; when the devotee may contemplate the greatness of God (Sri Guru Granth Sahib, 2). Guru Angad Ji says that during early morning, the last quarter of night, the awakened ones develop a fondness for cultivating the True Name (Sri Guru Granth Sahib, 146).
