| | | | | Authenticity of Portrait of Guru Nanak?
There seems to be a image circulating internet these days claiming to be a portrait of Guru Nanak. Does anybody has any concrete information about its origin?

This was released a decade ago by the Nanak-SARI BABAS as so called Guru Nanak ji as SEEN personally by their Chief Baba Nanad Singh and also isher Singh. The Nanaksarees printed this picture in hundreds of thousands and distributed. Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/sikh-gurus/37867-authenticity-of-portrait-of-guru-nanak.html
Absolutley imaginary as any other picture...the one and only AUTHENTIC Nishani of Guru Nanak ji is His japji Sahib, His Asa di Vaar, His Sidh Ghost, His Oankar dakhnni....etc etc etc in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Those Banis REFLECT the TRUE Guru Nanak as clearly as any IMAGE..KHALSA MERA ROOP HAI KHAS !!! ( Worldly mirrors and canvas project/reflect HUMAN BODY..GURBANI PROJECTS the REAL SPIRITUAL IMAGE that is mentioned in Mera Roop hai Khas...

Reason: removed unnecessary addition of GURU.

The subscript of the image says it was made by some painter in Baghdad. We know how poorly maintained the Gurudwara is there, it is a bit surprise that a painting of Guru Nanak would survive all these years! | | The following members appreciate Kanwaljit Singh Ji for the above message. | |

 Re: Authenticity of Portrait of Guru Nanak? some test in lab can confirm the age of painting  Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=37867
Nanaksar painting is different
its like idolatry

The nanaksarees use the Bscheema post picture..BUT their dera released the black and white one too...reason is pictures of nand and isher singh also pose in the same way Guru nanak ji is supposedly posing in the colour pic.
Anyway its absolutley POINTLESS to argue over a PICTURE..becasue NONE of the Sikh GURUS ever wnated one...THeir following was huge and could have easily engaged renowned painters to paint their Portraits..Had they been interested.....BUT NO....what THEY WANT is for us to LOOK at their SPIRITUAL PICTURE in the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji/GURBANI. | | The following members appreciate Gyani Jarnail Singh Ji for the above message. | |
