Proof(s) That Guru Nanak Maharaj Visited Turkey And Rome Also

[smartsingh24]

Khalsa04 ji, I'm not saying Maharaj Ji couldn't have gone to those places. I am saying that the information on that website is not proof. Rather, it's an attempt to gain some sort of acceptance from the West. Why do we need approval from the western world to firm up our beliefs?

It reminds me of the 'house negro' syndrome.

edit: Guru Sahib changed the lives of all they met. Look at the lives and teachings of some of the people mentioned on that site and you'll realise that they couldn't have met Maharaj Ji. Some of the claims just make us look like idiots.

I've gotta say I disagree. I haven't seen anything on the website to suggest that it's looking for acceptance from the West. The site just has a bunch of pictures and lists them as places that Guru Ji allegedly visited. I'm not saying I don't believe it, on the contrary, I think it's entirely possible that Guru Ji visited these places. And while Guru Ji had a profound effect on people throughout his life, not everyone immediately joined up and forgot their ways. You seem to look down at the people listed on the site. Why? Martin Luther was a great Christian reformer that helped stop the corruption that was poisoning Christian Churches at the time.

Martin Luther was a great Christian reformer that helped stop the corruption that was poisoning Christian Churches at the time.

Martin Luther who wrote his 60,000-word treatise Von den Juden und Ihren Lügen (On the Jews and Their Lies), and Vom Schem Hamphoras und vom Geschlecht Christi (On the Holy Name and the Lineage of Christ) — reprinted five times within his lifetime — both written in 1543, three years before his death. He argued that the Jews were no longer the chosen people, but were "the devil's people." They were "base, whoring people, that is, no people of God, and their boast of lineage, circumcision, and law must be accounted as filth." The synagogue was a "defiled bride, yes, an incorrigible <admin-profanity filter activated> and an evil <admin-profanity filter activated> ..." and Jews were full of the "devil's faeces ... which they wallow in like swine." He advocated setting synagogues on fire, destroying Jewish prayerbooks, forbidding rabbis from preaching, seizing Jews' property and money, smashing up their homes, and ensuring that these "poisonous envenomed worms" be forced into labor or expelled "for all time." He also seemed to sanction their murder, writing "We are at fault in not slaying them."

He established anti-semitism in Germany and we know where that led......also, there is no evidence to show he travelled that far south out of Germany, if at all and that he could speak Persian.

The claim that Guru Ji met Galileo is similarly false.

All the creator of that site has done is find the names of famous people from that era and then tried to link them to Maharaj Ji.

Thank God some of us can still exercise some discernment in our thinking and not get carried away with wishful thinking.

I'm not discounting the possibility of Guru Nanak visiting Europe by why has there been absolutely NO reference to this in Sikh historiography up until now? Seems like it may be made up by excessively enthusiastic Sikhs.
