Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ajmer singh Randhawa" data-source="post: 225651" data-attributes="member: 8590">I disagree with you, Being a Panjabi Sikh and born in India, I studied Khadi boli, Hindi, Panjabi etc so I have good understanding of these Indian languages.You write DEH means body which is not true here, Its clear by reading the pangti DEH SHIVA BAR MOHE IHE  which means O Lord, Give me the boon......Here Guru Sahib praying to grant him the boon. The main point in this hymn is whether he prayed before Hindu God Shiva or the almighty.The correct answer is he prayed almighty as Shiva. At that time Shiva, Vishnu, Ram or Krishna were commonly used as synonyms of Gods in Hindu religion so used by Guru ji also.The translation of this hymn is correct. The hymn is a part of Chandi Charitar Ukti Bilas, a section of the Dasam Granth. Throughout Sikh scriptures, the Sikh Gurus use both Hindu and Muslim names for god to refer to Waheguru. The word "Siva" primarily means Waheguru and represents God as monotheistic, undescribed, unseen and immortal."In Guru Granth sahib we get " Gurmukh sang krishan murare" Here Krishna is a metaphor for Waheguru. Same way Shiva is a metaphor for Akal purakh. The hymn is from Chandi Charitra Ukat Bilas. At beginning of Chandi Charitra Guru sahib writes what type of God he believes . He writes ਆਦਿ ਅਪਾਰ ਅਲੇਖ ਅਨੰਤ ਅਕਾਲ ਅਭੇਖ ਅਲਖ ਅਨਾਸਾ ॥Aadi Apaara Alekh Anaanta Akaal Abhekh Alakh Anaasaa ॥The Lord is Primal, Infinite, Account less, Boundless, Deathless, Garbless, Incomprehensible and Eternal.ਉਕਤਿ ਬਿਲਾਸ ਅ. ੧ - ੧/੧ - ਸ੍ਰੀ ਦਸਮ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬਕੈ ਸਿਵ ਸਕਤ ਦਏ ਸ੍ਰੁਤਿ ਚਾਰ ਰਜੋ ਤਮ ਸਤ ਤਿਹੂੰ ਪੁਰ ਬਾਸਾ ॥Kai Siva Sakata Daee Saruti Chaara Rajo Tama Sata Tihooaan Pur Baasaa ॥He created Shiva-Shakti, four Vedas and three modes of Maya and Pervades in three worlds.ਉਕਤਿ ਬਿਲਾਸ ਅ. ੧ - ੧/੨ - ਸ੍ਰੀ ਦਸਮ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬਦਿਉਸ ਨਿਸਾ ਸਸਿ ਸੂਰ ਕੇ ਦੀਪਕ ਸ੍ਰਿਸਟਿ ਰਚੀ ਪੰਚ ਤਤ ਪ੍ਰਕਾਸਾ ॥Diaus Nisaa Sasi Soora Ke Deepaka Srisatti Rachee Paancha Tata Parkaasaa ॥He created day and night, the lamps of sun and moon and the whole world with five elements.ਉਕਤਿ ਬਿਲਾਸ ਅ. ੧ - ੧/੩ - ਸ੍ਰੀ ਦਸਮ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬਬੈਰ ਬਢਾਇ ਲਰਾਇ ਸੁਰਾਸੁਰ ਆਪਹਿ ਦੇਖਤ ਬੈਠ ਤਮਾਸਾ ॥੧॥Bari Badhaaei Laraaei Suraasur Aapahi Dekhta Baittha Tamaasaa ॥1॥He extended enmity and fight between the gods and demons and Himself seated (on His Throne) scans it.1.ਉਕਤਿ ਬਿਲਾਸ ਅ. ੧ - ੧/(੪) - ਸ੍ਰੀ ਦਸਮ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ</blockquote>
