I respect the panth enough to respect what they revere.
Half of the panth also reveres dehdhari gurus, made up sants and brahmgyainis, fairy tales. Which side do your respect.
Why would Guru ji be so biased against the sufi/muslim followers. By selecting only Avtaar stories. And disrespect mohammed by calling a king or arabia who cirumcised all the population.
Attempts to increase literacy
Thank God for this a million times. Not only did guru ji increase literacy but gave the common people a new voice against the brahmin practices.
yes, 100 % if your a Hindu/Brahmin. They references are only used to bring the one concept of god not to worship the vishnu.
I did not need to find the puranas since i heard "Ik Onkar Satnaam".
Who knows? Enough bir rass in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Soora su pachiynae (spritual and physical at the same time) sir tar thali ghali....(spritual and physical at the same time making it perfect food for a saint soldier)
They were already leaders. These guys don't need any lessons from Guru Granth Sahib even. They wrote it, lived it and died for it.
Here your playing heads and tails at the same time.
Shiva is the feminine. In Gurmukhi Shiv ji is not called Shiva but Shiv. Shiva is a feminine noun thus is referring to Shiv ji's wife, Bhagauti!
Am failing to understand you. Is guru ji asking for Shiv ji' wifes help.
The Shaheedi of Guru Arjan was less significant than the shaheedi of Guru Tegh Bahadur ji. Where as Guru Arjan Dev ji was tortured to death by Jehangir because Jehangir was insecure about his brother rising to the throne, who had been blessed by Guru Arjun Dev ji. He saw Guru Arjan Dev ji as a political enemy. Yeah Jehangir has the muslim-kaffir complex too but not it was not big like Auranzeb's.
On the other hand, Guru Tegh Bahadur ji specifically, volunteered to confront Aurangzeb on the issue of religious persecution. His shaheedi was for dharam, not because he was Auranzeb's political enemy.
Guru Arjan Dev ji was our first shaheed on a grand scale to say its less significant is crazy.
And guru arjan dev ji did not die for dharam but for political reasons??
This has been answered in my linked post.
Didn't find any. Point them out to me please.
I answer this in my linked post. I would add: There were many. But at this time, it was an active effort accross the country to translate Sanskrit texts into native languages (and Brahmins are doing it since it's a Brahmin's job). Dasam Granth is part of it. You have to remember India has thousands of native languages. Punjabi with a script has just arrived on the scene though Guru Angad Dev ji. Previous Gurus has formalized it, Guru Gobind Singh ji just takes it a step further, and get Indian literature translated so that the language has some basis. Languages are lost if there is no literature available in the language. That's why the best way to keep Punjabi alive in your family is to have Punjabi literature for reading in the house! /Hint
So guru ji wrote the DG to keep punjabi language alive.
This is the same in Guru Granth Sahib. Those are avtaars of Akal Purakh (there is no difference between Akal Purakh and his Avtaars), I think they deserve more attention.
Then why reject them.
Har Har Mahadev! Hail to Shiv ji, the Ultimate God!
I highly doubt they are referring to waheguru. But for sure to shiv avtaar. Nothing wrong with that. that is their religion.
Am not bashing the hindu religion its fine the way it is. But its wrong to suggest sikhi is a part of it. That we need to find bir rass out of hindu avtaars.
