[QUOTE="Gyani Jarnail Singh, post: 22442, member: 189"] WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH. In the Sikh "historical tradition" there are what we call SAKHIS - Janam Sakhis in the case of Guru nanak ji Sahib....and just general "sakhis" in the case of other Guru Sahibs. The word SAKHI means to "bear wittness"..as such "sakhis" of our Gurus are meant to bear wittness to their greatness, principles and august personalities. The Sakhis that we find in the Janam sakhi Pothis can be divided into roughly seven types. In the First Group come those sakhis that attempt to show that Guru Ji was "not properly understood" by the people of the time..his family, his father, village people, ...all failed to notice how great a personality Guru ji really were. Guru Ji Himself states in Raag maru...Koi Aakheh Bhootna..koi kahaeh betala..koi akheh aadmi..Nanak vichara. Some call me mad, others call me "out of tune"..others refer to me as ordinary man and yet others want to pity my state.. The main person who failed to "notice" Guru Ji was His father..Mehta Kalu Ji...who tried his best to put Guru Ji to good use..take the cows to pasture, milk them, do farming work,be a buisnees man trader,...to him Guru Ji was a useless teenager who wouldnt stick to a proper wordly job..like all other teenagers Guur Ji tells us.of his experiences in this field....in Sorath Mah 1..Maan hali kirsaani karnee..saram pani tan khet Thus a lot of "sakhis" of this period fall into this grouping..Majhaan chaarnian, sacha sauda, modi khana. etc etc calling the Vaid to check on Guru Ji ( if he is mentally unstable/and why he rufuses to work like any normal human being) The Second Group of sakhis deal with some sort of Karamaat - miracle. Modern Scholars and academics are reluctant to beleive in these as they cannot come to terms with such "unscientific" stories.... the greening of the field destroyed by wanderign cows that guru ji failed to keep in check due to having gone to "sleep"..and the King Cobra giving Him shade, the Shade of the tree that failed to Move in tandem with the Sun, disappearance into the Vein River for 3 days, sweet fruits from Bitter fruit trees, etc etc . The Third group of sakhis deal with thsoe people that Guru Ji put on the Right Path..like Sajjan thuggh the robber cum murderer, Kauda Rakash etc etc The Fourth Group of Sakhis are the Dramatic ones..wherby Guru Ji used "modern Drama" to attract and keep the attention of vast crowds..throwing water in the wrong direction at Hardwaar, cooking meat in Kukshaetar, giving Duni Chand a Needle to take into the next world..etc etc The Fifith group of sakhis deal with the DIALOGUES Guru Ji had with the Top Religious leaders of the day..the Sidhs and Yogis (Sidh Ghost), Muslim Peers at mecca, etc etc The Sixth Group of sakhis deal with the LOVE - that many had for Guru Ji..Love of His sister Bebe Nanki Ji, Bhageerath Ji, Shivnabh etc etc The Seventh Group of sakhis deal with the LOVE Guru Ji had for the poor and the downtrodden..bhai lalo ji, Bhumia chor etc etc. In my next post i will deal with the Sakhis in Group Two..because these seem to be MIRACLES..and Miracles karamaat is ANTI-GURMAT and intereference in Waheguru's HUKM Nature. As such these are categorically REJECTED by all modern scholars as unbeleivable...But is that ALL there is to these Sakhis or is there something deeper.. Jarnail Singh [/QUOTE]
