    Hinduism Vaishnava Dharma And Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

    Okay. Do you have any websites where I could get English translations? I know only of Sri Granth. Not an assertion, an observation. Obviously I have not read SGGS nor do I have a copy of it.

    Hinduism Vaishnava Dharma And Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

    Please allow me to point one observation. Yes, names like Narayana, Rama, Krishna, Hari, etc are all Sanskrit names, but what is more important is that they are all names used by Vaishnavas. No other Hindu sect refers to God by these names. Narayana, Rama, Hari etc all refer to the Supreme God...
