I would like to bring into your consideration a misconception.

Many of our hindu brothers falsely believe that many times sikh gurus & others whose banis are there in granth sahib have recited the name Ram and this ram they believe is the lord ram of ayodhya. Perhaps thats not the case.

Sikh gurus never prayed to any demigods like brahman, vishnu, mahesh. They always believed in that supreme being & always chanted his praises.



In the words of Kabeer in Granth sahib Its clear that the Name "Raam" on which he meditates represents the almighty God and not the king of Ayodhya (Lord Raam)

कबीर राम कहन महि भेदु है ता महि एकु बिचारु ॥
Kabeer, it does make a difference, how you chant the Lord's Name, 'Raam'. This is something to consider.
सोई रामु सभै कहहि सोई कउतकहार ॥१९०॥
Everyone uses the same word for the son of Dasrath and the Wondrous Lord. ||190||
कबीर रामै राम कहु कहिबे माहि बिबेक ॥
Kabeer, use the word 'Raam', only to speak of the All-pervading Lord. You must make that distinction.
एकु अनेकहि मिलि गइआ एक समाना एक ॥१९१॥ One 'Raam' is pervading everywhere (The nirankaar present throughout the universe), while the other (lord ram) is contained only in himself
