jattpunjabi,
it neither happened nor gonna be happen....its not a case in sikhi....we already noe our history....its different matter sm ppl r tryin to change history even in skool books.....its not good anyway
i didnt give mah bout religion yet..i was disagree at sm point thats wy....well tell me one thing....wy ppl r using their full strength to change the basics of other religion? plz try to xplain in short
Nobody is trying to change the basic principles of Sikhi. When I asked :
"What would happen to your religious life if, hypothetically, all history(including that of Guru Gobind Singh)
were voided or made inaccessible to you or somehow falsified beyond hope? In other words, imagine that
due to some strange reasons, the details of which are irrelevant, you have to live your life without having any
knowledge passed down through any historical events whatsoever.
What would you do?
Would it be possible for you to lead a religious life, and if so, by what authority would you do so?
In other words, can you discover the spiritual truth for yourselves without dependence on historical sources,
or would you be lost if such historical sources were simply unavailable or unreliable??"
...what I meant was : Is your spiritual advancement dependent on History ??
My spiritual advancement for one, is independent of the history of the Sikh- Gurus.
The life story of the Guru is not important for the principles they talked about to work.
The effectiveness of the Vedic mantras iss independent of the personal history of the Vedic rishis.
The practices of Tantra are not contingent upon belief in the history of anyone.
The effect of bhajans (devotional songs) is not based on any belief in the history of
the bhakti saints or the histories of any deities.
Finally, the the principles enshrined in the Shri Guru-Granthji are independent
of the History of Nanak and the following Guru's.
Newton had a personal history but his specific life events are not necessary for
the gravitation laws to be in effect today.
Newton or no Newton the gravitational laws always worked fine.
Some may say that the Big Bang was a unique event that physicists believe in,
thereby making physics History-Centric. However, this argument is flawed:
Physicists believe in the Big Bang Theory not as a premise of physics.
Rather, the Big Gang Theory is a conclusion that is scientifically derived
based on physical laws and empirical evidence that is verifiable today.
Hence, the Big Bang Theory does not make physics History-Centric:
it is a result of physical theory and not a pre-requisite belief or cause of it.
Those who regard it as evidence of History-Centrism are mixing causes and effects.
Is Sikhism History-centric ??
What I am asking is :
Do the Sikh principles appeal to you because you are sure Nanak existed?
What if if one has not History of Nanak to lean on ?
Does Guru Granth becomes irrelevent ?
Thats what I am asking.
Thanks
