More on Guru Nanak Dev Ji


Guru Nanak Devji was a fragment of the Divine born on Earth. His message stood for love, respect, justice, equality as well as universal humanism.


Above: A fresco at Gurudvara Baba Atalji, Amritsar, showing the AvtarPurab of Guru Nanak Dev ji & how all the Vedic Devatas have come to bless the child Nanak.



ਜੋਤਿ ਰੂਪਿ ਹਰਿ ਆਪਿ ਗੁਰੂ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਕਹਾਯਉ ॥

The Embodiment of Light, the Lord Himself is called Guru Nanak. 
- Adi Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Ang 1408, Bhatt Mathura 


Verses from Shri Nanak Prakash Granth

ਦੋਹਰਾ ॥ ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਨਾਨਕ ਪੁਰੁਸ਼ੋਤਮੰ ਪਰਮ ਪਰਾਵਰ ਨਾਥ । ਯੁਗਲ ਚਰਨ ਮਮ ਬੰਦਨਾ ਧਰ ਪਰ ਧਰਿਕਰਿ ਮਾਥ ॥੫॥


Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji you are greater than the greatest beings in creation. You are the leader (Nath) of  the greatest of beings to have ever lived including the demi gods. I pay my respect to the two holy feet of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji by placing my forehead to the earth in reverance to you. 5.

ਸ੍ਵੈਯਾ ॥ ਬਰ ਚਾਰ ਪਦਾਰਥ ਦਾ ਬਰ ਚਾਰ ਬਿਚਾਰ ਕੋ ਮੂਰ ਉਦਾਰ ਸੁਹਾਵੈਂ । 
ਉਪਕਾਰਿ ਸਖਾ ਸੁਖਕਾਰ ਸਦਾ ਤਮ ਪਾਰ ਕਰੈਂ ਉਰ ਮੋਂ ਬਸ ਜਾਵੈਂ । 
ਅਘ ਜਾਲਨਿ ਤੇ ਜਮ ਜਾਲਿਨਿ ਤੇ ਕਲਿ ਕਾਲਨ ਤੇ ਤਤਕਾਲ ਛੁਟਾਵੈਂ । 
ਅਰਬਿੰਦ ਬਿਖੇ ਗੁਨ ਏ ਸਭਿ ਹੋਹਿਂ ਤਬੈ ਉਪਮਾ ਪਗ ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰ ਪਾਵੈਂ ॥੬॥


Savaiya - Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji a devotee is able to gain the four greatest virtues of Dharam (Religious action), Arth (Acquisition of wealth and worldly possessions), Kama (fulfillment and enjoyment of desires) and Moksh (liberation from the cycle of birth and death) from your holy feet. Your feet is the sanctuary from where deliberation takes place and one is able to propagate the radiance of knowledge within. Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji was the great being who manifested upon earth for the assistance of others and forever granted a feeling of peace. Those people who are able to propagate the feet of Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji within their heart will be able to eradicate their ignorance and safely swim across this worldly ocean to liberation. The feet of Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji are able to eradicate the sins of an individual, the pain and suffering of Kaljug (the current age of ignorance) and the noose of death from the angel of death (Jamdoot). Bhai Santokh Singh Ji says that if a person is to have all of the good virtues similar to a lotus blossom (This metaphor is given as a lotus blossom remains in the dirt but unaffected by its surroundings and focuses totally on the beauty of the lotus,  a Sikh should be untouched by the surroundings and focus on the Guru) then only can they propagate and gain the praise for the holy feet of Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. 6.

  1. Time & again u r proving that u r an rss agent. U take pride in those pre 1925 era Mahants who would cast a lustful eye on women coming to Gurudwara(read temple coz of the idols that were worshipped by idiots like u). Vedas r meant to be respected by a Gursikh the same way the Quran is respected. But a Gursikh doesn't follow them completely.the gurbani also talks of Quran but u never state anything from it, let alone praising it like vedas.U r anti Islamic(read RSS agent) & by no means a Guru ka Sikh. u can be a sikh of some dera or dal. Stop propagating ur theory while donning a sikh bana, u r free to express ur theory like the udasis, nirmalas or naamdharis do, without the bana.

    1. Dear Prabsimranji,
      To be blatantly honest, firstly, you are a typical example of the talibanised Neo Sikh, who is one of several thousands to have prompted me to come up with a blog to counter such blinded hatred for our Hindu ancestry. People like yourselves live in denial continuously.Secondly, kindly spare me the 'Rss agent, Idols, mahants etc' rants & baseless accusations which are typical of brainwashed so called 'Sikhs' with turbans only. The Rss agent etc is usual reaction of barking at any Sikh like myself who acknowledges the Sanatan Hindu roots of Sikhi as per the original teachings of all our Gurusahibaans. Yes, the Gurubani mentions Quran a few times but not to the extent as to the mention of Vedic philosophies & Upanishads..otherwise why would the Gurus in the first place surround themselves with Brahmins & Sants? I have purposely published your pathetic comment which exposes you as a Khalistani who does not even acknowledge other Sikhs such as Nirmalas, Naamdharis, Udassis, etc as Sikhs even. It is this type of fascism that has destroyed the great teachings of our Gurus.In fact you forget that you cannot silence or brainwash other Sikhs who follow the Guru's traditions which were the original teachings & force them to be blinded by today's Jatt run SGPC & AKJ.Let the world see the true colours of such brainwashed Talibanised so called Sikhs like yourselves and I truly appreciate you for making my work easy for me on here. This just shows how shallow & bigotted you are. Thank you again for your input.

  2. ?the owner of this blog is stupid. tablibanised neo sikhs? did you create that word?
    the quran and vedas were used to teach the illiterate people of the time who for centuries and generations had been destroyed by hindu society. it was a time when the caste system was winning and people accepted inequality as a form of caste. guru nanak could never explain concepts such as the big bang, the formation of humans, evolution of primates or even the ego centered personality disorder ALL human beings are born with as per sigmund freud who is the father of psychology. even american ideals of free religion and equality which we take for granted were foriegn concepts to indians during those days. the guru used literary tools like personification to explain and teach people who today would have been self educated and able to understand these concepts without those means. when the guru said that god created the known universe with one word he was describing the big bang to those illiterate village dwellers. guru nanak completely rejected religion and all other ways of life at the time because they fed the ego and promoted self-indulgence. he told his followers that god told him to put people on the right path. this means that to show them to give up religion and accept a way of life that was equal fair and loving to EVERY HUMAN BEING.

  3. Lol dear 'kanumultani', to dumb fools like yourselves anyone who speaks the truth will appear stupid. The quran & vedas were created to 'teach illiterate people who had been destroyed by hindu society'?? well lets leave the quran out as it has nothing scientific nor anything beneficial for mankind but the vedas were not created by man. what a Talibanised idiot you truly are? Did you not know that Vedic India was the Vishva Guru ( Teacher of the world) of the entire world where education came to everyone thanks to the Hindu Rishis? The world's first & largets University was based in Vedic India - Takshila University. followed by millions of other great centres of learning such as Nalanda, Pataliputra, Kashi, & so on.
    Why do you come on here to embarrass yourself & expose your ignorance?

    1. To KaluMultani the talibanised fool who wrote :

      ''guru nanak completely rejected religion and all other ways of life at the time because they fed the ego and promoted self-indulgence. he told his followers that god told him to put people on the right path. this means that to show them to give up religion and accept a way of life that was equal fair and loving to EVERY HUMAN BEING.''

      Allow me to tackle these moronic myths created by your illiterate ilk known as Jatts etc

      1. You claim Guru Nanakdevji rejected religion - this is a total myth created by ignorant idiots. If he rejected religion then why would he go about praising the names of Vishnu, Vithal, Rama, Hari etc? Are you that illiterate & foolish that without even studying his writings or Gurubanis, you claim such absurdities on the net even?

      2. At the time of his Udasis, Guru Nanak had no followers at all & Sikhi was not even established as a separate panth but was the mainstream Hindu Dharma in Punjab following the Vaishnav Bhakti movement that was taking the whole of India like a storm at the time. This was to keep the people's hopes up during turmoil of Islamic invasions. Now the illiterate people came about thanks to the Islamic invasions & Hindu genocides created by Islam - tyrants like Mahmud Ghazni repeatedly desecrated Hindu shrines, looted & plundered most of Punjab even. Places of learning were destroyed by these Islamists so of course then illiteracy was the order of the day amongst such chaos.Prior to this period, India had been the centre of the world's most advanced & educated peoples where even Pythagoras came to learn Maths, Vedas & Music from the renowned Rishis. The entire world's civilisation owes so much to Hindu India thanks to the remarkable science, maths, astronomy etc

      3. The word Caste is foreign to Hindu thought. If the Gurusahibaans wanted to abolish 'caste' in Punjab then why did they not marry outside their own in the first place? Even their own children married in the same 'castes' as the Gurus.

      I suggest you go back to school & educate yourself & do some of your own research about the lives of the Hindu Gurusahibaans as they were not Sikhs as such but were Hindu Punjabis who followed Vaishnav vedanta.

    1. Again as usual here is another Talibanised 'Sikh' moron Mr Amrit Singh, with confusing jargon & poor grammar. I'm just printing this comment to expose the fascist Neo Sikhs out there of which there are thousands, trolling all over the internet. Mr Amrit Singh reckons that Hindu Dharm 'surrendered for Muslim invasions..'...SAYS WHO? With ill educated morons like you dear Amrit Singhji, is there any hope for saving the Gurusahibaans' original Sikhi? I doubt it.I don't blame you though as it is the 'Granthis' out there who have sown the seeds of destruction & so much venom against Hindu Dharm of which Sikhi is a great part of. Brotehr, read history properly & do not be a shameless Indian like those who simply choose to follow rubbish that has been handed down to us by the Christian missionary agents like Macauliffe & Muller.

    1. Amrit singh,

      I'm trying to understand what it is you are trying to say here. Firstly let me inform you that there is no 'corrupt form of Brahminism' as you have put it. This notion of Brahminism & Brahminical Vedas, Brahminical Gods etc etc are all ideas & myths put to us by the Christian Missionaries. Go through the blog & read up on the roots of anti-Hinduism & anti-Brahminism. Secondly, I am a Sanatan Sikh, so what is there to leave in the first place? Parameshvara & Akal Purakh are mentioned in the Mahabharat by Shri VedVyasji who mentions how Vishnu is created, while from Brahma's forehead springs out the Akal Purush - Shiva, Mahesh or Mahakaal Akaal Purush. What is there that is not mentioned by Guru NanakDevji which is already mentioned in Hindu scriptures?
