Guru Gobind Singh Was A Worshipper Of The Divine Mother (Shri Bhagauti/ Bhagawati)

[GPS]

ad shakti is material energy or maya.

People who interpret Mahakal as Hindu deity are ignorants and doing great disservice to Guru Gobind singh ji.

They have never read Dasam Granth sahib.

People need to read Dasam Granth before making absurd posts.

Dasam Granth sahib

Posting two pangtia from Sri Dasam Granth does not constitute 'reading Dasam granth' but I understand the point you trying to make.

This is a very complex subject that can not be put into a box or defined by two pangtia read in isolation. Sikhi is wide spectrum, complex, not something that can be defined as black and white, right and wrong, left and right. People with that mind set are better of following Islam or Christianity. Sikhi is beyond boundaries and limits, just like parmeshvar.

Complete vichaar on adh bani and Dasam bani is needed to understand 'overall' gurmat stance on adh shakti, this can not be achieved by just reading two pangtia.

True it can be confusing when right terms are not used or explained further.

Vahiguroo in nirgun roop/non-transcedental form,- unfathomable, unattainable, unknowning does not have mother, father, son, wife etc

But when vahiguroo (nirgun roop) immanent/transcedents in (Sarguna and shud satogun) aspect via shabad, its immanets through sarguna, various glorious forms of shakti. One of main forms of shakti is adi (primal) shakti.

Without adi shakti (form of sargun/shabad), nirgun(sada-siv) is in deep non transcedental state only cannot be explained at all but just realized being in the same state and without nirgun- consciousness, adi shakti-sarguna is just matter with no life.

So both is needed, hence shiv-shakti just like nirgun-sargun are part of each other cannot be separated.

For eg for sikhs - symbolically sri guru granth sahib ji is known as bhagti- sada siv (Akaal purkh) and sri dasam guru granth sahib ji is known as shakti.

Bhakti-shakti/shiv-shakti/adi-shakti are all aspects of nirgun paratma cannot be seperated.

Normally, people confine limit concept of shiv-shakti to deity only but this is way beyond them.

Sikhs only believe in ikongkar sargun nirgun as one ikongkar.

However, we worship that one vahiguroo/ikongkar *through* not confined to but through- sarguna aspects of vahiguroo-our satguru such as sri guru granth sahib, shabad, dhyaan, kirtan,seva of humanity, seva of guru maharaj -bhakti-shakti aspect- in both bhakti- sri guru granth sahib ji and shakti- sri dasam guru granth, shastar pooja-bhaugti.

After going through(devotion/prem/pyaar) sargun aspects- shabad , one get gurparsad- grace of naam- ultimate truth/reality and realize its own self -sada shiv/vahiguroo which is all pervading in all. One gets bhramgyan and after bhramgyan, ones state cannot be explained fully. Guru maharaj beautifully explained unexplainable in gurbani without any limitation its mentioned beautifully in sukhmani sahib 21st asthpadi.

So if i have understood you correctly adh shakti is sarguna roop of Akaal purkh ji, so hence can not be his wife right ?

ad shakti is material energy or maya.

That's my understanding as well

Dasam Granth sahib

Yes above gurbani tuk is tat gyan of all as it talks about ultimate reality- end game of this maya khel- after play end of maya khel and its updesh to raise bar of spiritual aspirant who is stuck in upasana of sargun- bhavani be it in form of bhaugti/sword, kundalini shakti, adi shakti, shiv-shakti, durga, chandi etc but we cannot use above gurbani tuk to debunk/reject bhavani as shakti of vahiguroo all together itself and if we do that we cannot reconcile other portions of sri dasam granth where bhavani - many glorious various forms of it, is being glorified, beautified, appreciated. Sikhs influenced by protestant/christianity wishes it was that simple black and white.

What under pins both aspect sargun and nirgun - ikongkar, ek jot-supreme consciousness which is one and same in all- all in one, one in all- Ek Moorat Anek Darsan Keen Roop Anek || Khel Khel Akhel Khelan Ant Ko Fir Ek || -Sri Jaap Sahib

[sat]

so Ayaaka Mayee/ adh shakti refers to maya/material energy/sarguna roop, which is what i said in post #3

In Dasam Granth it is akal purakh that is being glorified everywhere and not any deity.One has to read this bani very carefully

and not misled by various names.

Yes adi shakti is primal force/energy- force of shabad- ong behind the creation/maya - rajo, tamo, sato-sargun

Yes my understanding is maharaj ji uses different names but they all mean/refer to akaal purkh ji and not any deity, thanks Gps and n30singh you have confirmed my understanding, hence he has no wife.
