Are Our Gurus Our Gods

[sikh_a_disciple]

Can any Sikh Scholar tell me Why did Nanak Dev, a child born in a Hindu brahmin family found the need to start a new religion called Sikhism?

If anybody wants to know the true meaning of Sikhism & wants to be a True Sikh then he should first know the reasons behind the birth of this youngest religion of Mankind.

According to Guru Nank Devji who started Sikhism, A Sikh is a Disciple who is eager to learn & change till the last moment of his life.

Guru Nanak Devji gave us Ek OmKaar meaning there is only One God.

And today we are being taught that the Gurus are our only Gods. Guru means Teacher. If we start believing our Gurus as God then the entire efforts of our Gurus will go in drain, cause they made so many sacrifises to show us how to to Find The True One. They have taught us that True God can be found through the Shabads of our Guru Granth Sahebji.

We are asked to keep Akhand Paaths. Can anyone person tell which of our Eleven Gurus started the tradition of Akhand Paath?

Guru Nanak Devji started Sikh Religion but who started the caste & class system amongst Sikhs. What purpose is Guru ka Langar today when you are eating it with Sikh-Khatris, Sikh-Jats, Sikh-Ramgariahs etc.....

If you can get the answers of the above questions your entire view point of Sikhism will change. Sikhism is the Simplest Religion in mankind to find the True One, Cause it contains writings of all the Great Saints & Scholars of all religions.

Waiting for your answer.

Welcome to the forum.

Its not Ik Omkar, its Ik Oankaar, Omkar is derived from Hinduism.

Gurus wernt teachers, they are the true mesengers of god, the 'true

teachers' that gave us the divine knowledge to study on, which would point us to the right direction.

yes. Guru Gobind Singh Ji himself said that whoever will worship me shall go to hell!!!!

Its the older generation who usualy worship photos of Guru's - a) IDOL WORSHIP b) they not even real!

o waheguru..

Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahiub Ji started the tradition of Akhand Path (so i herd)

and GUru Nanak Dev ji DID NOT start a new religion. It was Guru Gobind SIngh Ji. He said that the human race is 1. He formed Khalsa for individual identity, becoz Hindus n mulsims started mixing in..

Khalsa Pragteyo, pramaatam kee moj. (hope thats right). Thats Guru Ji saying that Khalsa was created with God's wish, not against Him.

O yeh, what is your pointin pointing out that Guru nanak Dev Ji was born in a Bhramin Hindu family? U saying he shoulda kept with Bhraminism? well He woulda actualy gained quite a lot of worldly pleasure if he became a brahmin (judging by how they make money.. )

plz correct me if im rong!

Sikhi isnt loosing its meaning and never will. Granted that sikhs like everyone else do not always do as they are told so they get in all sorts of trouble.

1) I dont think many people see Guru ji as God, most sikhs know Gurus are here to Guide us. Having said that there is a fine line between Guru ji and Waheguru, someone said they are one, The whole purpose of a Guru is to guide us to the path to enlightenment so we can merge with waheguru, so if Guru ji themselves dont merge with waheguru then how can they be Guru. So in that sense they are the same as waheguru.

We are asked to keep Akhand Paaths. Can anyone person tell which of our Eleven Gurus started the tradition of Akhand Paath?

There is nothing wrong with Akhand paaths, we are not asked to keep Akhand paths, if you dont want to do it dont do it. But its only a good thing so whats wrong with it?
