Pray Truth for all and say Satsriakal!
Dear all and Harjas Kaur Khalsa Jee!
I have read your post #18 on the topic Nigura dated 16-05-2008.
It is strange to read your long list of reasons for japping 'Waheguru' as Gurmantar. Sorry to say that I missed the name of the true Guru in this list.
Quote "The tuk you shared only states Har Naam or Lord's Name. It does not state Gurmantara is Har and isn't Vaheguru."
Did Gurdev ever say that Vaheguru is Gurmantar?
I have never heard Gurdev saying so.
Please listen. Gurdev is explaining precisely.

Quote "I base my understanding of Vaheguru as Gurmantar first on instructions of the Panj Piare when I was amrit chakk. Secondly on the Vaaran of Bhair Gurdas Ji. Third on the tradition and history of the Khalsa Panth. Fourth on the fateh I was given when I was amrit chakk . . ."
This is why true Guroo's Sikhs are rare. Rehit Naamee Sikhs are very much.

Quote from Singhbj Jee "Before departing to Sach Khand, Guru Gobind Singh ji declared Guru Granth Sahib jeeo, the everlasting Guru of the Sikhs. Guru Sahib ji said 'Pooja Akal di, Parcha Shabad da, Deedaar Khalse da'."
Guru Gobind Singh Jee transferred the wisdom of the Sabad Guru for many years. He wrote also a lot so that Sikhs should not go astray. May I ask why Sikhs have started believing hearsay?
