[QUOTE="Harjas Kaur Khalsa, post: 79326, member: 2125"] The tuk you shared only states Har Naam or Lord's Name. It does not state Gurmantara is Har and isn't Vaheguru. I base my understanding of Vaheguru as Gurmantar first on instructions of the Panj Piare when I was amrit chakk. Secondly on the Vaaran of Bhair Gurdas Ji. Third on the tradition and history of the Khalsa Panth. Fourth on the fateh I was given when I was amrit chakk which says: [B] Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh!
