[QUOTE="BhagatSingh, post: 176033, member: 2610"] Ok I have not read this bani so I will take some time this weekend to read it. I will get back to you if I have any questions. A pandit in a scholar who has spent studying religious and philosophical works, all this life. In addition he is adept in religious rites and rituals. Pandits would have known the proper way for getting married, proper way to cremate someone that has passed away, proper way to store their ashes or release them into sacred waters etc. They do it because they knew how to do it. It is their profession, their job. They study texts which explain the proper way of doing the ritual so they can do their job better. They also engage in studying philosophical and religious texts. Agreed so far? So if the gurus were doing any of the rites and rituals of their time they would consult someone who's job it is to be able to do them correctly. For example, Baba Buddha ji was well versed in rites and rituals and whenever a Guru was granted Gurgaddi he would be called upon to perform the ritual. He fulfills the role of a Pandit. [IMG]http://www.sikhiwiki.org/images/e/e8/Baba_Budha_placing_tilak.jpg[/IMG] Another painting showing the same thing: [URL]http://sikhgurusandgurdwaras.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/1944-Baba-Budha-applying-Gurgaddi-Tilak-to-Guru-Arjan-Dev.jpg[/URL] Once again, only educated scholars would be familiar with literature like Puran. Most people back then were not educated nor were required to be. Gurus were not as well versed in literature as the pandits were. They even say this in Guru Granth Sahib. Something akin to "Pandits study and debate texts. I only know Hari..." Gurus are masters in spirituality not philosophical texts. So I have no doubt in my mind that they listened to those who were adept in Puranas. Their message for the masses was to draw upon practical spiritual teachings from them. Reading out the Puran, would be educational for those who listen. Many of Guru Sahibs followers were lower caste and illiterate so this would be [I]puratan[/I] learning centres. And we know Guru Amardas ji built many of these. Much later we find Guru Gobind Singh ji translating the Puranas into the native language. [/QUOTE]
