I think they are employed in an aesthetic manner.

some Sikh websites make claims that in the dasam granth it says that some of the gurus descended from or reincarnation of hindu gods

Devi Devte do exist. Forget Sri Dasam Granth for a minute. Even in Sri Guru Granth Sahib jee their existence is mentioned. Read Sri Japji Sahib in the Gian-Khand Pauri(Kaitay Kaan Mahesh AND Kaitay Dev Daanav Mun Kete). So in Gian Khand many Devs, Danavs and even many Kaan(Krishan) and Mahesh(Shiv) exist. We cannot comprehend the vastness of Vaheguru's limitless creation.

Gurmat does not disprove their existence only that they are not to be worshiped by the Sikhs. Because the subject of a Sikh's worship is the one and only Vaheguru who is the supreme Lord.

I disagree with Jonny 101.Our great Guru mentioned Hindu gods in his compulation only because we need a reference material for discussionwith people of other faiths, for the same purpose were the singhs sent to Kashi for studying Hindu philosophy and scriptures( this cannot mean he was fan of hinduism) Siri Guru Gibibd Singh Ji message is clear in Chaupai we recite daily - when he says Mai na ganeshai pritham manaoo, Kishan Bishan kabhoo nah dhiyaoon. Kaan sunai pehchaan na tin so - meaning, I do not wish to pray Ganesh first, neither would I recite name of Kishan or Bishan( Vishnu and his Incarnations) I hear from Them only but there is no sign if their existense, Alas we recite gurbani but never try to undestand the message lying therein.

Veer ji,

Guru ji says he doesn't recognise them, doesn't remember them, doesn't listen to their praise because his chit is with Akal Purakh's charan. in other words they exist as entities but they have no value in front of Akal Purakh , that is how Guru ji leads us . In Dasam Granth Guru ji has translated the sanskrit to common languages so people can come to know what they were denied knowledge of by pandits, and then Guru ji has given Gurmukh context by telling us who we are dedicated to and how one battles against the tyrants and adharam .The Gods and Goddesses exists in the crodes but they are as nothing for a sikh as his/her dhian is only with Mahakaal, Akal Purakh Waheguru.
