Rehiras was a Panthic creation done in 1708 to address a need by the Khalsa. It is not a 'sacred' document like a composition uttered from the mouth of a Guru. It is a prayer of the 'Khalsa' and by that function, changeable....it has been changed many times. It is published by the Akal Takhat and recited in the Sikh Gurdwaras as given by the AT.
