These Devtes never said they were Hindu and they are slaves of the Guru.

Origin of 5 K's from hindu's devi devta came from a book which was written in mid 18th century. Book is full of non-sense.

Of course !!!

I can't understand how these people that claim to have read gurbani, can believe such absurd and ridiculous claims !!

So a sikh offers his own head in order to wear some articles prescribed by devi devtas ??

Guru Nanak ji wrote ''jo jo prem khalan ka chao, sir darh thali gali meri aayo''

(those who wish to play the game of love with lord, shall walk through the passage holding and offering their heads in their palms)

But Guru Gobind Singh ji proved this poetic gurbani quote from poetic to literal and real !

Which rehatnaama?

Rehatnaama of Sikhs Like Bhai Nand Lal and contemporary to Guru Sahib.

Veer ji we cannot argue on this.

Many of us look at these topics to literally and immaturely, we don't try and understand the superb psychology and stategy of Guru Gobind Singh bani and the writers and parcharaks of the puratan era (18th C).

How did the Khalsa panth keep getting populated and rejuvinated when it was being systematically removed from the face of the Earth by those who were threatened and in Raj?

Parcharaks drew in large numbers from the Hindu fold, by showing respect to the devtai but at the same time, showing their subservience to the Master of both Worlds - Guru Gobind Singh. Hindus are of many folds, if you take the most popular devtai (many of whose sakhiyan are actually very inspiring) and subtely enjoin/unite them under the hand of the tenth master, you open flood gates to a whole world of potential Khalsai.

Our semetic strategy of removing and insulting all non Sikh elements and proclaiming monopoly on God will never work if we want to grow the Panth and spread Sikhi.

The 'factual' element of these sakhiyan is of lesser importance, all that matters is the artth (underlying philosophy) which many of us sadly miss.

We should quit our phobias and make effort to understand more deeply the wisdom of old. You will find in many cases, it does not contradict Gurbani.

Guru Gobind Singj is said to have always carried a copy of Hanuman natak in his kamarkasa. If we bother to read the story of Hanuman, we may actually Be inspired by it and realise what it means to be a shargrid of the highest calibre - his love and devotion to his Guru/Parmatma, Sri Ramchandar was a masterclass in discipleship. We of course have are own traditions to look at and consider even more importantly like the majestic devotion of Bhai Lena to Guru Nanak Dev Ji, but that does not mean we cannot respect and also be inspired by others too.

Knowledge removes the need for low level insults and phobias of all kinds.

There cannot ever be any panthic ekta if all we do is ridicule the diversity of traditional beliefs, ithihas and traditions that exist. We don't have to agree, but at least 'try' and take something positive from them, and respect that other Guru Pyare hold those beliefs dear.

brilliant post, pre-sikh times how would one get to akaal purakh there must have been a way? Life did not start in 1699!

stop trying to stamp across one generic sikhi to everyone and treat everyone like brother and sister and the panth will grow naturally
