Re: Is Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji God?
The position of the Namdhari goes back to the martyrdom of Sri Gobind Singh in 1708. They do not indeed see Sri Guru Granth Sahib as the Word of God. However, Sri Guru Gobind Singh, as you are aware, declared the 11th Guru to be "Guru Granth Sahib" ending the succession of human gurus. However, there were 2 ( I think) among his followers in the Panth that argued that Gobind Singh's message was not understood properly and claimed a kind of apostolic succession. The Namdhari continue from that time to believe a number of things that are not consistent with Shabad Guru followers. One of these is indeed that Guru takes a human form.
