No Other Religion Leads To God

Mehtab Singh, part of the discussion process is alright but could you tell me why the thread 'Respect of other religions' was locked? First two pages were appeasing the political correct thinking but as soon as Sikhs posted who did not fall for the political correctness it was locked?

Veer, it has been re-opened.

I've heard a Hindu saint say in his katha that Bhagat Prahlad was re-born as Bhagat Kabeer jee, and I know GurSikhs who believe that Bhagat Kabeer Jee not only met Guru Sahib, he even was blessed with Amrit, and it was only after that his Bani was included in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee. So by that logic, we can say that Bhagat Prahlad was indeed saved by Guru Sahib Himself. Can someone who knows better please confirm?

According to Guru Granth Sahib Jee.

Pralaad was saved by God.

Pralaad lived hundreds of years prior to Guru Nanak.

Pralaad was a Hindu.

So folks, Sikhs do not have a monopoly on God.

In what regards was he a Hindu or follower of the Vedanta school? Take a read of ang 60 of Satguru and understand what Maharaj is saying.

Question we need to ask ourselves is has Guru Nanak Dev Ji (Parmeshar) been around prior to Kaljug? The answer is obvious, therefore there is no reason why they could not have given mukti to those saints prior to taking physical form.

As stated previously the followers of Krishan Ji etc were unable to achieve mukti as their Guru's had not either.

I'm sure I've heard someone once mention that Guru Arjan Dev Ji called all the bhagats into a tent before they compiled Aad Granth Sahib. Is this a myth or factual?

Please let us not forget that Guru Nanak Sahib is "Nirankar" and qualities of nirankar are mentioned in mool manter. So all bhagats were saved By Guru sahib indeed, the way they worshipped HIM.

That means all muslims worship Guru Nanak.

All Jews worship Guru Nanak

All Buddhists worship Guru Nanak.

You get my drift?

If a new religion is formed tomorrow by Mr X. It's followers can say Mr X is God, and Mr X saved Pralaad and other bhagats.

Indeed Mr X was Guru Nanak in a previous life. We will not like that would we. We will argue with them.

Round and Round it goes.

    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
