| − | The '''Adi Granth''' ({{lang-pa|ਆਦਿ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ}}, ''{{IAST|ādi grantha}}''; pronounced Aad Granth), literally "the first book" is an early compilation of the [[Sikhism|Sikh]] scriptures by [[Guru Arjan]], the fifth Sikh [[Guru]]. Often, the term is used to refer to the [[Guru Granth Sahib]]. In actual fact, the Guru Granth Sahib is an expansion of the Adi Granth which was written in 1604.

| − | The original copy of the Adi Granth remains in the hands of the [[Sodhi|Sodhi family]] of [[Kartarpur]] and is known as the Kartarpur Bir. It is said to be eight inches thick with 1,948 pages of which some were left blank for the subsequent Gurus to complete.

| − | The original granth was stolen by [[Guru Hargobind|Guru Hargobind's]] grandson, [[Dhir Mal]]. It was later recovered by force by followers of the ninth guru, [[Guru Teg Bahadur]] who were subsequently told to return the holy book to Dhir Mal. Very few people have closely examined the granth, but several Sikh scholars have scrutinized the text and have verified it as being the original. It is now shown only once a year on [[Vaisakhi]]. <ref>[http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/831765.cms Descendants of Arjan Dev have original text] Retrieved September 18, 2007.</ref>
