Krishna In Sikhism


Recommended Posts

Off course veer looking at the grand scheme of things- family histories are obviously irrelevant when it comes to bigger picture. But quote singh559 posted from sri sarbloh granth, maharaj is talking from social context, where lineage are considered in wider Indic culture just look at the time where guru maharaj took avtar..hardcore pandit fanatics refuse to listen to anyone who is not from their clan or higher clan..Vahiguroo ji sends his Guru avtar based on time, need, based on social environment around that time..off course clan does not matter when we look at bigger picture, as we have dhan dhan bhagat ravidas and other great saints (who are not necessarily from higher clan) bani in our sri guru granth sahib ji but when it comes to social status among pandits- Vahiguroo ji send Guru Avtar in highest clan in Indic society to break ahankar of these fanatic pandits ....its imperative, we look at things from social status and spiritual status don't mix it together otherwise we run into major issues and doubts. Guru Maharaj bani is never contradictory, its always our capacity to understand things in proper context.

Guru Maharaj gave us all the tools to fight hardcore pandit fanatics (as maharaj himself said khatri ko putt ho bhramin ko nahi to put pandits in its place !). Hence, they wrote about their lineage they belong to - bedi, sodhi and others in gurbani and glorified them so his sikhs can put back pandit bhramins in their place when neccessary by quoting guru maharaj great surya vanshi lineage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

^^^^^Paji i totally respect the sincerity of your viewpoint ... but pyaar naal I still honestly don't buy the theory that Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj had to be born to the parents he was (in order to appease the fanatic Pandits upon highness of lineage issues) ... in essence, I genuinely believe these are fake stories appended on to distract us from the truth of what Guru Sahib's true message was.

I genuinely believe Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj pretty much exposed that SuryaVanshi lineage is no higher than any other by way of the fact Guru Sahib ate with Bhai Lalo Ji as opposed to the man of "supposed" high lineage Malik Bhago. To me that closes the case :-)

Ditto. I thought all castes and lineages were supposed to be equal in the eyes of God. I don't think He would play favorites.

Let's not fall into the trap of assuming we understand God's plan. Only He knows why He does what He does.

This thinking is in realm of Abrahamic religions, where they believe that God is a guy in the sky making all these decisions. That isn't Sikhi.

If you read dasam granth sahib Guru sahib gives a message that offspring of king Rama indulged in war over material possesions

and finally were destroyed and left with only 20 villages.

Though Guru Nanak sahib was from same dynasty( Dyansty does not mean family), he gavea message of meditation to his followers

and his followers are flourshing. So the message is clear that caste has no significance.It is to follow path shown by Guru sahiban.

A quick remimder...........Satguru Sri Guru Arjan Dev ji Maharaj was about to put Bhai Sahib's Vaars in Satguru Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji Maharaj, but out of humility Bhai Sahib said don't. Again fairy tales don't pass the test of Gurbani.

that is a fairy tale you've posted about Bhai Gurdas Ji. When Guru Sahib was dictating Adi Granth, the 15 Bhagats were sitting behind a screen, and as each of them read out their bani, it was written down. Bhai Gurdas Ji asked who is behind this screen? Guru Ji sadi the Bhagats are, but Bhai Gurdas instead of listening to and beleiving the Guru, lifted the screen to look for himself. So Guru Ji, because you didnt have faith in my answer, the vaaran of yours were to be included in the Adi Granth, but now they will form a seperate entity, and be the key to Gurbani.

Again fairy tales don't pass the test of Gurbani.

Singh559 = Beautiful painting of devte coming to pay respects to Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji :

UK = Paji whilst the painting might be artistically beautiful, this is why certain Sikhs who oppose portraits or photos in Gurdware hold the views we do. The painting indicates Dhan Dhan Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj's divinity at birth ... as opposed to focussing on the truths that Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj illuminated for the world through their bibek buddhi.

Singh559 = To further advance the discussion, n30 paaji, can you please further explain this line from Sarbloh Granth please?

UK = Sorry Paji i know the question wasn't aimed at me ... but the Bedi clan have no relavance to do with world spirituality and truthful living. In fact, way more corrupt people from that clan in percentage terms in direct contrast to Bhai Jaita Ji or Bhai Lalo Ji as two examples of greater virtuousness. In fact even to compare the two lineages from 1699 onwards probably insults Ranghrete. And this is part of why certain Sikhs do not hold faith in certain sections of DG. To do so is not to deny the importance of Amritdhari jeevan or to doubt for one second our Dashmesh Pitha ... but to have reason to believe that anti-Sikh forces wished to dilute the truth of Sikhi by interjecting irrelavant discourses within the spiritual conversation of Sikhi and Gurbani. Respect to those who believe in 100% of DG but equally those that hold the viewpoint that they have doubts about the authenticity of some sections of DG or SG have an equal faith in Dashmesh Pita and I think it's important that point is recognised. If we recognise that in all of our hearts then there is no way we can talk about the Panth splitting as many seek to portray. Both sides of the coin have utmost faith in Dhan Dhan Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj and that's the truth of it (imho :-)

Anyone who doesnt accept Sri Dasam granth sahib ji and Sr Sarbloh Granth Sahib Ji in their entirety do not love sri guru gobind singh ji as they reject his divine bani...simple!....the panth is already split with deep divisions ...and the panth divides even further with sikhs like you around who reject gurbani of dasmesh pita...your no better than the heretical missionary naastiks.....theres nothing more sickening than people who reject divine gurbani just because they cant stomach the reference to hindu devas and sakhis....i know exactly what group you belong to by your post..

So coming back to this topic.

I totally agree that Sant gyani gurbachan singh ji bhindranwale maha anand sagar katha of sri guru granth sahib ji katha should be offically declare an reference point in order to learn traditional Sikhi in the panth.

The problem is not with katha of sri guru granth sahib ji but the problem is actual listeners or readers who are trying to interpret gurbani, you have two extremes- protestant thought and sanatan thought propagated by some nihangs of uk (sikh hippy liberals).

Both extremes look at Gurbani not its totality but rather look at shabad, take them out of context to prove their thoughts or silly little flame wars.

I will give an very simple example of how their thought process function for eg- regarding subject of sargun hari avtars- position are held for or against (puran hari avtars- krishan and ram chandar ji).

Here is how their thought process:

Protestant thought: When it comes to puran hari avtars, they only see the glass- half empty (totaly ignore half full)

Snantan Thought (Sikh hippy liberals): When it comes to puran hari avtars, they only see the glass - half full (totally ignore half empty part)

Actual Gurmat thought:

When it comes to puran hari avtars, actual gurmat shows full view of the glass (half empty and half full).

Actual gurmat ways is to go through each shabad in gurbani, bhai gurdas ji varan, sri dasam granth, sri sarbloh granth where it talks about avtars- a) go through uthanka of each shabd b) bhav arth of each shabad c) antriv arth of each shabad and then position held in each shabad. Position held in each shabad for puran hari avtars is different cannot be applied across the board- overall position in Gurmat.

After noting down all- position held in each shabad regarding puran hari avtars, anayalizing them carefully, then scholar can present with all their work with notes- overall position in Gurmat regarding puran hari avtars that our bhagats consider sargun saroop of Vahiguroo himself..!!!!!!!!!

So far, all the gyani samparda, nirmale and taksal upsamparda's, sevapanthis etc have all unanimously agreed - krishan maharaj is in sachkhand and vahiguroo ji came in sargun saroop of krishan and ram chand maharaj for its bhagats (bhagats in sri guru granth sahib ji) , so they came in this conclusion after studying each position held in each shabad than after carefully analyzing each position held in various shabad regarding puran hari avtars- affirm an overall position held in Gurmat..

It's not job of sant gyani gurbachan singh ji bhindranwale or any other mahapursh or teekakar to tell overall position held on various deep theological concept found in Gurmat but rather onus is on students to start making notes and study of them when they listen to gurbani lareevar katha of dhan dhan dhan sri guru granth sahib ji maharaj.

This seeing of full glass in its totality is not limited to complicated topics of avtars and Gurmat, but deep theological concept of sargun and nirgun and its upasana in Gurbani as well.

Personally speaking, i used to quote gurbani a lot to prove traditional gurmat thought in the past and sometimes get in heated debates (my own silliness). But I have stopped quoting from gurbani now in discussion as Gurbani is Agad Bodh very serene and divine to be engaged in debates..now at spare time, i m more inclined towards knowing- guru maharaj position held in each shabad..if position held from one shabad to another shabad are different on same subjects then affirm overall position by making notes and carefully anyalizing each shabad and position held in each shabad on various complicated concepts found in gurbani - sargun and nirgun form of Vahiguroo, sargun and nirgun devotion, shabad, naam and avtars in gurmat, bhagti,bhram gyan, atma-paratma etc.

It's best to discuss these complicated topics through theology as opposed to posting one or two lines from gurbani to prove your point as we may un-intentionly might be doing beadhi of gurbani of taking out of context.

Exactly veer, whilst in sikh bhagti these things does not matter but when engaging in social life or dealing with rss fanatics/hindu fanatics..we need to man up and tell these rss idiots - that our sikh dynasty/lineage is coming from satyuga and its anadi that we are more holy than you rss idiots...watch them giving you satkar and doo pooja of you then once they known our khatriya lineage..!!! ..what do we do instead? In insecurity we keep shying away from Gurmat by rejecting gurbani and become more more christianvadi/ferengi..lol and every kumb mela- nirmale beat these rss idiots and set up gurmat akhara...once nihangs tell them their khatriya traditions, rss fall on their feet and worship them when they see emobidement of shiv-vishnu-bhram-akaaal-kaal rooop..all in ONE AND ONLY KHALSA !!!!!!!!!

N30SINGH,if someone has to come to learn how to go on and on like a broken record,

they could not find a better teacher than you.

On one hand, you state “Great quote Jsinghz veer, it just further proves how guru maharaj ji wanted us to rise above from fanatic sargun upasaks of sargun avtars to nirgun saroop of Vahiguroo Ji (all prevading!)..thats i have been saying all along in this thread. “

Then nek minute,” krishan maharaj is in sachkhand and vahiguroo ji came in sargun saroop of krishan and ram chand maharaj for its bhagats (bhagats in sri guru granth sahib ji)

So what of simple English do you not understand when our Father Guru Gobind Singh ji

declares,

Someone calls him Ram or Krishna and someone believes in His incarnations, but my mind has forsaken all useless actions and has accepted only the One Creator. ||12|| (33 Sawayeas, Guru Gobind Singh Ji).

So please have some mercy on yourself and stop wasting your energy on these useless actions

And spend more time in remembering ONE WAHEGURU.

    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.  
    • Author Posted April 24   On 4/21/2025 at 2:43 PM, ipledgeblue said: sirr should not be nanga because keski is usually worn.   Sikhs can sleep nanga-sirr if they choose to . Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
    • Wasn't Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom on amd always commemorated on 6th June? How come it was 30th May?  Just like 6th June 84, where the likes of Terrorists like Indira Gandhi chose to attack Darbar Sahib where many many innocent Sikhs would suffer, as they went to commemorate Martyrdom of Maharaj.
