User talk:Gghatore: Difference between revisions

Hello, Sat Sri Akal, Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh, Namastae, Salaam, ਜੀ ਆਇਆਂ ਨੂੰ: Gghatore Ji! A very warm welcome from SikhiWiki and many thanks for your contribution so far to the article Dasam Granth. I am sorry I have had to revert back the changes (deletion and/or major changes) that you made as you have given no valid reasons for your actions before making the changes.

If everyone was allowed to delete/change large parts of articles without any explanation, there would eventually be nothing of substance left for our readers to read at this website! Also, if changes are allowed to be made to large parts of the article without discussion, the whole meaning of the article can be changed by selected groups giving a biased opinion. It is important that the guidelines provided are followed when making any major change to an article.

Before any deletion or major change can take place, you must discuss any such action on the "discussion" page of the article before taking any action. This type of action has to be agreed before it can take place. Please follow this protocol in future - see more at: SikhiWiki:Deletion Guidelines

Nevertheless, despite our serious concerns, I hope you will bookmark this Sikhi site and please visit it on a regular basis. Also, I hope you will still help us enhance this site by checking it, amending it, by adding to it, by discussing issues on the discussion pages, etc. in compliance with our Guidelines.

With Waheguru's kirpa, may you always remain in Chardi kala. Many thanks, Hari Singh^talk, 23:00, 30 May 2011 (EDT)

Guru Nanak and Dasam Granth

You wrote: "Guru Nanak: Fake pictures of Guru Ji are against his teaching"

Can you please quote from the Guru Granth Sahib to show where it says that putting a picture (of the likeness of the Guru in an article) is against Sikhi?

Dasam Granth You wrote: "There are lot of writings that are not that of Guru Gobind Singh Ji but are added by other poets to create controversy among sikhs" and also "....they distorted sikh history and relegious books that it became really difficult to establish the truth. Dasam Granth is one of such book that has lot of writings that do not come even close to basic standard of sikh pricipals let alone written by Guru Ji"

Please give quotations from historic literature to substantiate your view.

Here are some thing to subsstantiate: http://www.sikhiwiki.org/index.php/Idol_Worship

Also Gurbani explains that the picture of the Guru is his “Word”, Gurbani, which a Sikh is to love: ਗ੝ਰ ਕੀ ਮੂਰਤਿ ਮਨ ਮਹਿ ਧਿਆਨ੝ ॥ ਗ੝ਰ ਕੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਮੰਤ੝ਰ੝ ਮਨ੝ ਮਾਨ ॥ਗ੝ਰ ਕੇ ਚਰਨ ਰਿਦੈ ਲੈ ਧਾਰਉ ॥ ਗ੝ਰ੝ ਪਾਰਬ੝ਰਹਮ੝ ਸਦਾ ਨਮਸਕਾਰਉ ॥1॥"Meditate on the image (i.e. enshrine the feet) of the Guru within your mind. Let your mind accept the Word of the Guru's Shabad, and His Mantra (as the highest and pure Mantras). (The Guru’s Shabad is the Guru’s image), enshrine (this) image of the Guru Guru's feet within your heart. (Recognizing the Guru as Waheguru’s roop, image) bow in humility forever before the Guru, the Supreme Lord God. ||1||"(Ang 864)
