Authority

Before breathing his last, Guru Gobind Singh, the 10th Sikh Guru bestowed Guruship to Guru Granth Sahib. He also conferred a similar status to the Khalsa Panth (collective wisdom of baptized Sikhs). Hence the authority now lies both on Guru Granth Sahib as well as on the collective wisdom of Khalsa Panth.

The Akal Takht in Amritsar is the highest temporal seat of the Sikhs and its Jathedar holds the highest position. He along with the Jathedars of other four takhats holds an authoritative position among Sikhs
