GURU NANAK : PROPHET FOR A NEW AGE

April 15,1469 - October 10,1538 CE
Unlike other Prophets, Nanak never tried to convince anyone to change their religion, only how to be a better Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu etc. Love for God and His Law was paramount.

In His last words, Nanak said,:
In God there are no religions
Only those that are closer,
and those further away,
from HIM.
|
|

He was fervently against idol worship and barred any followers from ever making statues of him, as God is Alive, Awake, True, Now.

‘Nanak Nadri, Nadar Nihal’
.
.
.

.
.
.
.
--Guru Nanak

(Bless You)

.
.
.
.
.


Now, when you listen to any Sikh offhandedly remarks that Nanak’s 'Khands' are just the five stages of life
(Hindu tradition), ask him at which stage of life will he see:
‘ Divine Goddesses of Eternal Magnificence - Of Awe Inspiring Beauty,
that cannot be Described.’
Maybe Nanak is referring naked women on Playboy magazines?

Then ask him at what stage of life will ‘Such Khand’ with ('Thithae Loh Loh Akar”).
i.e., The uncountable Universes become Visible.

Nanak, does not make any reference to Hindu stages of life, anywhere in the Japji.
He was not Hindu, though he spent his life with a Muslim (Mardana), and a Hindu (Bhai Bhala).

Then, point him to Nanak's Last Words:

“In God there are no religions.

Only those who are closer,

And those that are farther away,

From Him.
.
.
.


Guru Gobind:

"Jin Prem Kiyo

Tin Hee Praph Payoo..
.
..Sri Bhagvan Ko

Kabhi Bhaed Na Payo !
.
.
.
That being said, I am willing, to take on any ‘khattar sikh’ in this translation of the verses of the Japji.
(Not only do I speak and write Gurmukhi, (albeit. haltingly: thanks Bauji!),
but I am probably one of the very very few Asian Indians, with three separate four year American University Degrees, in entirely Distinct Fields (i.e., 12 years) .
My spoken Punjabi (Mother tongue), and English (Father tongue),
both written and spoken is excellent.

The only other Indian or Asian author/speaker who's command of American English is noteworthy, is Deepak Chopra. His translations of Rumi etc., are commendable, but still quite ‘Indian’, vs. mainstream American.
His chosen role however, is much greater than mine.
.
.
Sikhs however, write English which is indecipherable to the English speaking world.
Not to say, unspeakably boring.
How can such powerful wisdom,
of solar systems, galaxies and universes,
500 years before Galileo,
become obscure and boring?

I don’t know, ask a Sikh who thinks he knows English.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

Nanak’s wisdom hitherto lies hidden, under a Pugree (Turban), Kirpan (Sword),
and an unimpressive control of English Linguistics.

Trying to read English translations of The Japji, or 'trans-iterations' (i.e., broken sentences with odd words), one is struck by their unintelligibility, more than any Wisdom they might contain.


However, I digress


.
.
.
.
.
The Important point is,
Nanak is very deliberately describing a Multidimensional Universe,
transversed by Consciousness which is Indestructible.
A Direct Emanation of Its Creator.
.
.
.

Nanak despite his Wisdom, is not alone.
( lest you categorize me as some Nanak Extremist : )
.
.

Here I feel a need to mention Quantum Physics in Summary.
Quantum physics now recognizes 'Consciousness' as a force in nature.
That is, an electron, or quark, the smallest particle in nature,
is a probability wave, until Consciousness looks for it

Only then does the wave condense into a particle, with a certain spin and frequency.

That is all you need to know.

Was Consciousness included in the table of elements in school?
Was Consciousness even discussed in the four Forces in Nature ?
(Which are: Macro Nuclear, Micro Nuclear, Thermodynamic, and Gravitation)
The Consciousness of the experimenter was overlooked, it is Consciousness that in the process of observation, brings matter into 'existence', synchronous with the Pre-conceptions of the Observer. i.e you will not see what you don't believe exists, or conversely you will only see what your Pre-cognition allows.
.

I am very well read in the above matters, which brought me to re-investigate
the verses I was taught to repeat meaninglessly in my youth,
by someone called 'Guru Nanak'.
.
.
.

The images below were found by selectively searching Google.
.
.


The Dimensions or Planes of our Universe, are referred to as ‘Koshas’ by
Hindus and Buddhists.

Here, due respect is paid to The Rosicrucians, The Theosophical Society, Alice Bailey (The Arcane School), The Monnroe Institute, and countless others. I could mention my familiarity with Indian 'Wise Men' that have a notable following in the West. The Buddha, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (Deepak Chopra's Guru), Parmahansa Yogananda, Krishnamurti, Aurobindo, Bhagwan Shri Rajneesh (OSHO), and many others. My library is tumbling full.

I have complete books on every Dimension, its inhabitants, and the form of our body in the Dimension it ihhabits, along with its particular powers. This comes from years of study, and still continuing..
(I discovered Nanak’s description last.)

Of the Images provided, look at them carefully, for the Universe lies before your eyes.
These Images are Revered in secret and only revealed to Initiates,
as the Cosmology of our Universe.
So pay attention, they are brought together in this form for perhaps the first time.

It is Time, with others that come before and after.
Power to the World Wide Web!, the computer, and even my satellite dish communicating with the world, whilst surrounded by a forest, in the woods.

The Universe's Secrets are revealed in words above, in 2D in the images below,
(and 3D in front of you).
