in japji sahib it says "gur esar gur gorakh barmaa gur paarbatee maa-ee" which means guru is shiva, the guru is vishnu and brahma, the guru is paatvati and lakhshmi
btw
not questing bani or anything i just want to understand it more
does this mean that we believe in hindi gods? and guru nanak dev ji is saying they are equivient to him?
and also another question i wanted to add on to this is, throughout guru granth sahib ji mahraj there are references to islam and hinduism but why are there no refernces to other religions such as christianity? im sure mahraj knew it existed.
im not trying to question gurbani i was just curious
thanks

The reason that Guru Nanak Dev Ji gave the honor of Guru to shiva , Brahma , Vishnu and mha Shakti ,may be they have contributed to give spritual knowledge to humans by the source of vedas ,Geeta and many other religious texts and to make people aware that they r gurus not supreme prbrahm (who is not confined to particular god's as He resides in all rich or poor ,human or devtasor demons or other living creat)as they have acted as a teacher to human kind at their time ,do they r called as Guru .As It is the beauty of Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji that they have given the right place to everyone one they belong to like wise Bhagat Naam Dev ji, Bhagat Kabir Das ji,Baba Fareed ji etc.
