Dasam Granth

Tenth Guru's writings

The Dasam Granth is a Sikh scripture traditionally attributed to Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru.

Unlike the Guru Granth Sahib, which holds central authority in Sikh worship, the Dasam Granth's authorship and canonical status remain debated among Sikhs.

It contains devotional poetry, mythological narratives, and compositions used in Sikh liturgy, including parts of the Nitnem daily prayers.
