(the Holy Life Force)" </span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">4. In <strong>DHIGVAJEH PURANA</strong> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">"During the reign of the 8 Muslim rulers, Vishnu will incarnate in 10 human forms and after them will appear a (Mona) SILENT Guru (meaning the SGGS, the Sikh Scripture) who will only respond where the response is solicited." </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><strong><em>The word SILENT is of great importance - it refers to the Sikh Scriptural Book (SGGS).</em></strong><em> <strong>This is the first time in the history of Religion that a Sacred Book was elevated to the status of a Prophet</strong>.</em> Unlike a Prophet in body form with the inherent capacity to make utterances, a Book has to be categorized as being basically 'Silent'. This is indeed a startling revelation, pinpointing the coming into the world of a (mona) Silent Guru, thousands of years before the actual occurrence. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">The eight Muslim Rulers were 1. - Sultan Lodhi, 2. - Babar, 3. - Humanyuh, 4. - Akbar, 5 - Jehangir, 6 - Shah Jahan, 7 - Aurangzeb, 8 - Bahadur Shah, These precisely were the Rulers in India during the period in which the 10th Sikh Guru came into being. This further emphasizes the authenticity of the revelation and the happening. </span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">5. Through <strong>PATANJALI </strong>the great Indian (Hindu) Sage </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Patanjali, one of the top Indian Yogis of old, came 2180 years before Guru Nanak. In his Ashram while lecturing on the Prophets of the Kali Yuga, the Iron Age, he singled out Guru Nanak as the one who will be outstanding. When asked what will be his prime mantra, He replied. - </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">"Wahyanti karyanti jathputi athak etwaha brahamadeya, teisah Gur et WAHEGURU" </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">meaning </span></span></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">"He will use a unique single syllable mantra which has not been utilized before at any Age or Era. This will be WAHEGURU." </span></span></strong></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Waheguru mantra, which means "Lord of Wonderment" has since been popularised by Guru Nanak and all the nine other Sikh Gurus that followed him. </span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">6. In <strong>VISHNU PURANA</strong> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">In the VISHNU PURANA there is recorded an interesting dialogue between VISHNU and a famous Rishi UMBREEK. Vishnu is said to have informed Umbreek that he will once again take birth in the Kali Yuga. The Rishi then enquired when about will that be and what will be your name then? Vishnu replied that this will happen when the Kali Yuga has proceeded for 4500 years and that I will take birth in the Shatri Sooraj Bansi clan, when I will be named, NANAK. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">In this same Purana it is further recorded: - </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">"Sri Nanak santang saageaami </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Sri asech, sri asech, sri asech, sri asech" </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">meaning </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">"Sri NANAK will once again appear in the world in a variety of incarnations; this is for sure, this is for sure, this is for sure." </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Computing the date of Guru Nanak's birth from the above mentioned figure that took place when the Kali Yuga had proceeded for 4550 years, reckoning the total durations of Kali Yuga now to be about 5090 old. It is to be noted that this figure of 4550 is pretty close to the 4500 years predicted by VISHNU JI above. Incidentally, the clan in which Guru Nanak was born was also known as a Shatri Sooraj Bansi indicated above. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">CONCLUSION </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">From the above it is evident that Guru Nanak must have had the largest number of premonitional references to his coming compared to the advent of the other Prophets in all the various Ages and Epochs. Therefore the Prophet Guru Nanak's advent into the world is indeed of millennial significance to even the coming future times. </span></span></p><p><strong><em><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">The word NANAK is a combination of two Sanskrit terms. 'Na" and 'Anak'. The meaning attached to these words is "Not-but-One". The message conveyed by the Guru's name and the education imparted by him through the Sacred Scriptual verses, usually commence with the words "Ik Oengkar". This phrase too means Non-but-One. One God only. </span></span></em></strong></p></blockquote><p></p>

Heitha samasth jagathaa va veithee kaetheng" [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]meaning [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]"For the preaching of religious ways and the earning of good karma, there will manifest Guru NANAK from the clan of the Veithees" [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3](iii) At another position in the same Vedas is entered under Mandala 1 Soothak 5 and in the 7th Mantra thus - [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]"Eeth eethei Vishnu reinn chakramei threihaa nathathei patham" [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]meaning [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]"The Prophet in the Kali Yuga will manifest three attributes. As an Avtar propounding Truth, as a Householder establishing family life and at the same time be a Raja Yogi" [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]2[B]. The YUJAR VEDA[/B] [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]As in the RIG VEDA quoted above, in the YUJAR VEDA also the Prophet in the Kali Yuga will manifest three main characteristics thus - [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]"Vishnu bee chakrageih treithaa neikthei patham samudhseiaa paaeh serei swahaa" [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]meaning [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]"Vishnu will appear again, manifesting three main characteristics, Avtarhood, Householder family life and be a Rajah Yogi as well" [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Although in the above two quotations the name of Nanak does not directly appear, reference to being a householder family man, would point to him because he was among the first few Avtars (prophets) who was married and begetting children. [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Incidentally in Hindu mythology, VISHNU is the primordial Godhead Prophet, who incarnates on Earth taking many differing forms and the ensuing names thereto. [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]3. In the BHAVEKHATH PURANA [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]"BHAVEKHATH" means "future foretelling". There are numerous places in this famous Hindu epic where the advent of Guru NANAK is directly alluded to. These instances are listed hereunder - [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3](i) [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]"Theraa bhaareng thereshtwah keli krethem maha krethyaa. Aeveng vaee tharam parchaariang bhavekhthee thaa kalau. Thatha vei loka rakheiaartheng maleishana naas heithwei paschmeitlheng subh theisay vath wensei chei Nanaka naam nach rekhiang brahem geaanaik manas bhavekhet kaloe skunth thatar verth kaleaah har (35)." [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]meaning [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]"In the Kali Yuga when goodness in the world is deteriorating there will appear a Prophet from the Beithi clan named NANAK who from birth will be endowed with extra-ordinary spiritual power. He will preach on the nobility of life and the eradication of the sinful ways" [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3](ii) In another portion of this book the following short cogent quotation supplies further pertinent information on the advent of Nanak [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]"Guru thaa Brahma, Guru raa Vishnu, Guru raa dev maheshra saakhyaar Parbrehem Thasmei NANAK nameh" [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]meaning [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]"The Guru of the prophets, Brahma, Vishnu and Shiv ji is God almighty himself. This very Creator will manifest itself as a human, in the form of one whose name will be NANAK [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Note the clarity and explicitness in which the coming of Nanak is predicted. [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3](iii) Further down in this book is recorded the following detailed assertiveness about Nanak and the type of mission and work he shall perform. It appears to emanate from the Godhead itself. [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]"The Kali Yuga shall dawn on Earth with radical manifestation of destruction of Karma and Dharma to such an extent that every situation shall be colored by sinful activities. At that distressful moment, the Creator shall send down a spiritual luminary in the form of NANAK from the Khatria clan. He will spread the message of NAAM, the Holy life Force, by introducing the primacy of meditation and thus washing clean the sinful ways by the waters of love." [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Note the beautiful and comprehensive description of the happening. [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3](iv) There is yet another quotation from this same Bhavekhath Purana indicative of Nanak and the 9 prophets that consecutively followed his lineage : - [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]"When in the world there is the deterioration of noble Dharma, then Vishnu will reincarnate through 10 Prophethoods and will preach on the universal and omnipotent value of NAAM. (the Holy Life Force)" [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]4. In [B]DHIGVAJEH PURANA[/B] [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]"During the reign of the 8 Muslim rulers, Vishnu will incarnate in 10 human forms and after them will appear a (Mona) SILENT Guru (meaning the SGGS, the Sikh Scripture) who will only respond where the response is solicited." [/SIZE][/FONT] [SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman][B][I]The word SILENT is of great importance - it refers to the Sikh Scriptural Book (SGGS).[/I][/B][I] [B]This is the first time in the history of Religion that a Sacred Book was elevated to the status of a Prophet[/B].[/I] Unlike a Prophet in body form with the inherent capacity to make utterances, a Book has to be categorized as being basically 'Silent'. This is indeed a startling revelation, pinpointing the coming into the world of a (mona) Silent Guru, thousands of years before the actual occurrence. [/FONT][/SIZE] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]The eight Muslim Rulers were 1. - Sultan Lodhi, 2. - Babar, 3. - Humanyuh, 4. - Akbar, 5 - Jehangir, 6 - Shah Jahan, 7 - Aurangzeb, 8 - Bahadur Shah, These precisely were the Rulers in India during the period in which the 10th Sikh Guru came into being. This further emphasizes the authenticity of the revelation and the happening. [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]5. Through [B]PATANJALI [/B]the great Indian (Hindu) Sage [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Patanjali, one of the top Indian Yogis of old, came 2180 years before Guru Nanak. In his Ashram while lecturing on the Prophets of the Kali Yuga, the Iron Age, he singled out Guru Nanak as the one who will be outstanding. When asked what will be his prime mantra, He replied. - [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]"Wahyanti karyanti jathputi athak etwaha brahamadeya, teisah Gur et WAHEGURU" [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]meaning [/SIZE][/FONT] [B][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]"He will use a unique single syllable mantra which has not been utilized before at any Age or Era. This will be WAHEGURU." [/FONT][/SIZE][/B] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Waheguru mantra, which means "Lord of Wonderment" has since been popularised by Guru Nanak and all the nine other Sikh Gurus that followed him. [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]6. In [B]VISHNU PURANA[/B] [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]In the VISHNU PURANA there is recorded an interesting dialogue between VISHNU and a famous Rishi UMBREEK. Vishnu is said to have informed Umbreek that he will once again take birth in the Kali Yuga. The Rishi then enquired when about will that be and what will be your name then? Vishnu replied that this will happen when the Kali Yuga has proceeded for 4500 years and that I will take birth in the Shatri Sooraj Bansi clan, when I will be named, NANAK. [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]In this same Purana it is further recorded: - [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]"Sri Nanak santang saageaami Sri asech, sri asech, sri asech, sri asech" [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]meaning [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]"Sri NANAK will once again appear in the world in a variety of incarnations; this is for sure, this is for sure, this is for sure." [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Computing the date of Guru Nanak's birth from the above mentioned figure that took place when the Kali Yuga had proceeded for 4550 years, reckoning the total durations of Kali Yuga now to be about 5090 old. It is to be noted that this figure of 4550 is pretty close to the 4500 years predicted by VISHNU JI above. Incidentally, the clan in which Guru Nanak was born was also known as a Shatri Sooraj Bansi indicated above. [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]CONCLUSION [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]From the above it is evident that Guru Nanak must have had the largest number of premonitional references to his coming compared to the advent of the other Prophets in all the various Ages and Epochs. Therefore the Prophet Guru Nanak's advent into the world is indeed of millennial significance to even the coming future times. [/SIZE][/FONT] [B][I][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]The word NANAK is a combination of two Sanskrit terms. 'Na" and 'Anak'. The meaning attached to these words is "Not-but-One". The message conveyed by the Guru's name and the education imparted by him through the Sacred Scriptual verses, usually commence with the words "Ik Oengkar". This phrase too means Non-but-One. One God only. [/FONT][/SIZE][/I][/B] [/QUOTE]
