Where does Chor Sahib Originate?
Question :
Where does chor sahib originate from and why we do?
Answer : 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 Dev Sahib Jee 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.
Also 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
Gurudwara. 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 Sahib in
his/her 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 Jee is the Emperor of Emperors, hence all these
ceremonial decorations.

गुरु शब्द
साहिब तेरी साहिबी, सब घट रही समाय |
ज्यों मेहंदी के पात में, लाली लखी न जाय ||
Sahib teri sahibi, sab ghat rahi samay
Jyon mehandi ke pat mein, laali lakhi na jay
English Meaning :
Power of Almighty dwells in every heart but is invisible,
Just as the red colour resides in the green mehandi leaves and is invisible
Explanation :
Just as the red colour resides in the green mehandi leaves and is invisible
Explanation :
To get the red colour from the mehendi leaves one has to grind them into a fine paste and apply it on the hands. When the paste dries and the hands are washed, the red colour appears. In the same way one has to grind (cleanse) his mind by meditation to realize God.
