| | | | | | | re: Who Is the Present Guru of the Sikhs? Sat shri akal, what i think is that Shri Guru Granth Sahib and Panth Khalsa is collectively the present sikh Guru . After the line of corporeal gurus was brought to an end by Guru Gobind Singh, the Khalsa Panth was installed its own leader under the abiding guidance of Guru Granth Sahib and guru ji himself was a member of khalsa panth. This may be cleared by the following lines by Guru gobind singh ji -- Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/sikh-sikhi-sikhism/23578-who-is-the-present-guru-sikhs.html Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=23578
The Khalsa is my own special form
Within the Khalsa I’ll ever abide,
The Khalsa is the life of my life;
The Khalsa is the breath of my breath.
The Khalsa is my worshipful lord.
The Khalsa is my saintly kinght.

| | | | | re: Who Is the Present Guru of the Sikhs? I think Sri Guru Granth SAhib is the present guru of the Sikhs because it was given Guru gaddi by Guru Gobind Singh ji. Now about Khalsa, by Guru Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji does not say anything, therefore, to me Khalsa is just Khalsa, nothing I need to bother with now. Of course, I am talking about the discipline started by Guru Gobind SIngh ji. |

And this question is to anyone that says the Panj Pyare or Guru Khalsa Panth can never be Guru. |

And this question is to anyone that says the Panj Pyare or Guru Khalsa Panth can never be Guru. | Well, if by Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji not saying that it is Guru means that it is not Guru, then Sikhs have never had a Guru. None of the Gurus said they were Guru BUT when they passed on the Guruship, we always turned towards the new one. Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji should be no exception.
Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji does not mention Khalsa therefore, it is not important. |
