<blockquote data-quote="Harjas Kaur Khalsa" data-source="post: 78799" data-attributes="member: 2125"><p>Curious position to take since that isn't the teaching of Gurbani. Guruji doesn't teach an Abrahamic monotheism, but a Oneness of God which is pervading all creation. According to Abrahamic religions, Ek Oankar represents a pantheistic Oneness and is very similar to some schools of Hindu thought, which also believe the ultimate Parabrahm or Parameswar is One yet pervading in all beings. Also Gurbani doesn't invalidate the Vedas but says Gurbani is the sum total of the Vedas. Gurbani says the Vedas are not enough in the Kalyug, but in Kalyug only the Naam is the boat of salvation. Gurbani doesn't deny the Hindu devas but says they were all creations of Vaheguru, curiously Bhai Gurdas Ji informs the Gursikhs that Vaheguru Gurmantara is derivative of the name of God Vishnu, Har Krishan, Gobind and Ram.

[QUOTE="Harjas Kaur Khalsa, post: 78799, member: 2125"] Curious position to take since that isn't the teaching of Gurbani. Guruji doesn't teach an Abrahamic monotheism, but a Oneness of God which is pervading all creation. According to Abrahamic religions, Ek Oankar represents a pantheistic Oneness and is very similar to some schools of Hindu thought, which also believe the ultimate Parabrahm or Parameswar is One yet pervading in all beings. Also Gurbani doesn't invalidate the Vedas but says Gurbani is the sum total of the Vedas. Gurbani says the Vedas are not enough in the Kalyug, but in Kalyug only the Naam is the boat of salvation. Gurbani doesn't deny the Hindu devas but says they were all creations of Vaheguru, curiously Bhai Gurdas Ji informs the Gursikhs that Vaheguru Gurmantara is derivative of the name of God Vishnu, Har Krishan, Gobind and Ram.
