[QUOTE="Balbir27, post: 214366, member: 21905"] I patiently watched the whole video clip because the title was interesting, and concentrated entirely on the words avoiding being influenced by his captivating and forceful manner of speaking. Dr S S Udhoke appears to preach the issue that [B]we are following “kachi” (raw) bani[/B] (Gurus message). ([B]Nothing wrong with that[/B] except some [I]are [/I]only following the true Bani. So, a sweeping statement like that is not entirely correct.) On the other hand to illustrate his points, he uses stories which do not have any concrete evidence. The SGGS is concrete evidence and does not contain any stories. The stories (Janamsakhis), although [I]generally[/I] accepted (mass effect?), have no concrete evidence (except for undisputed historical facts). Even today, the authenticity is disputed. I quote from: [URL='https://infogalactic.com/info/Janamsakhis'][U]https://infogalactic.com/info/Janamsakhis[/U][/URL] “[I]The four Janamsakhis that have survived into the modern era include the Bala, Miharban, Adi and Puratan versions, and each [URL='https://infogalactic.com/info/Hagiography'][U]hagiography[/U][/URL] contradicts the other.[URL='https://infogalactic.com/info/Janamsakhis#cite_note-nikkysingh1-1'][U][1][/U][/URL] These mythological texts are ahistorical and do not offer chronological, geographical or objective accuracy about Nanak's life.[URL='https://infogalactic.com/info/Janamsakhis#cite_note-nikkysingh1-1'][U][1][/U][/URL] The Sikh writers were competing with mythological stories (mu'jizat) about Muhammad created by Sufi Muslims in medieval Punjab region of South Asia[/I].” Other Sikh sources like [URL='http://www.sikhawareness.com/topic/16059-distortion-of-history-by-sukhpreet-udhoke/'][U]http://www.sikhawareness.com/topic/16059-distortion-of-history-by-sukhpreet-udhoke/[/U][/URL] also refer to the distortion of history, specifically, by Sukhpreet Udhoke. I would question as to how the exact words of the Guru in question were recorded as were the answers [I]throughout[/I] the life of the Guru. Such an "accurate" biography is non-existent anywhere else despite the availability of all sorts of modern devices for recording word by word. The 15th and 16th Centuries had no such. One would have to devote their whole life to follow the Guru around and use enormous amounts of manuscripts and ink, and, find places to store them, as Guru Nanak, for example, carried out his Udasis, journeys which I would find daunting, leave alone being also a full-time scribe. So the [I]gist[/I] of the stories may be more or less true but everything else is questionable. Should quote exact words and rely on them, to preach that we are following untrue banis? Is it not contradictory? Or is there a [I]different [/I]agenda where the end justifies the means? If we are to attempt to bring and keep Sikhi on the right path, should we not be, ourselves, indisputably right? Apologies for any errors Sadh Sangat. Sat Sri Akal. [/QUOTE]
