[QUOTE="anon, post: 205784, member: 19291"] on pages 722 and 723 of SGGS, it is written that: ਆਵਨਿ ਅਠਤਰੈ ਜਾਨਿ ਸਤਾਨਵੈ ਹੋਰ ਭੀ ਉਠਸੀ ਮਰਦ ਕਾ ਚੇਲਾ ॥ आवनि अठतरै जानि सतानवै होरढ़ भी उठसी मरद का चेला ॥ Āvan aṯẖ▫ṯarai jĝn saṯĝnvai hor bẖī uṯẖsī maraḝ kĝ cẖelĝ. Coming in seventy-eight (1521 A.D.), they will depart in ninety-seven (1540 A.D.), and then another disciple of man will rise up. Given the context of the quote in the SGGS, (written by Guru Nanak), it would appear that this is in reference to the Mughal Rule of India. Wikipedia suggests Babur began his campaign before 1519, however it is believed that Guru Nanak was in Saidpur (now Eminabad) at the time of writing this, so it is possible Babur invaded Saidpur in 1529. whats more interesting is that the Mughal empire did briefly come to an end in 1540 when Babur's Sucessor Humayun was overthrown by Sher Shah Suri. I don't personally believe Guru Nanak was capable of miracles and I don't believe he could predict the future however, if someone were to make the case that he could, it would appear convincing for a number of reason's. 1) the prediction is correct 2) there aren't any other predictions in SGGS of which I am aware, so its not the case that Guru Nanak threw out a bunch of predictions and luckily one came true I don't think this is enough to convince someone who doesn't believe in the supernatural that miracles are real, but I think it is enough to validate the opinion of someone who does believe in miracles. I am naturally inclined towards skepticism so I had a few questions for people {censored} were better experts in indian history; 1) do the dates in the guru granth sahib (78 and 97) ACTUALLY correspond to 1521 and 1540, and if so can someone explain to me how? with sources preferably 2) is it possible that this part of the SGGS was written AFTER 1540? it is generally accepted that Guru Nanak died in 1539, but is there any chance this script had been manipulated? if you believe it has or hasn't can someone please explain to me the manner in which this script was passed through time from the 15th century through to the compilation of the SGGS such that it was preserved maintaining its otprigional unaltered content? And also out of curiosity, do you believe that Guru Nanak had supernatural powers and that he could see the future. also when I say supernatural i mean things which defy the laws of physics such as seeing the future, i don't mean spiritual things like "he had the miraculous power of compassion" or something fluffy like that. EDIT: i also have a third question. can anyone give a date as to when when this passage was written and can anyone give a date as to when Saidpur was attacked? [/QUOTE]
