Second Marker/Warning sign for us to stop indiscrimiante use of these words for ORDINARY MORTALS.are the Tuks about."Rahio SANT me toll.SAADH BAHUTEREH DITTHHEY !! By Bhagat Kabir Ji.and the Absolutley high standards set for "SANT" as is described in Gurbani at many places. Guru Arjun ji uses the word SANT and GURU in reference to Guru Ramdass Ji."BHAAG HOA GUR-SANT milayah.this one TUK alone should give us the most clear signal as to what a SANT has to be.the EQUAL of GURU RAMDASS JI !! Why does Guru Ji use the TWO words as ONE.to dispell doubts later becasue these words are used in Gurbani frequently.Ģ.
IN Gurbani and in is amply clear that the "SANT" is a word interchangeable with GURU/SAADH/SATGURU.and is mostly meant for either the Ten Gurus or The Creator Waheguru. O Nanak, if it pleases the Saint, then even such (a wretch) may be liberated. To slander a Saint is the worst sin of sins. The slanderer of the Saint is forever isolated and shunned. The slanderer of the Saint is inflicted by every disease. The slanderer of the Saint becomes miserable and pathetic. The slanderer of the Saint has no sanctuary (no kingdom). The slanderer of the Saint is forsaken by the Lord. The slanderer of the Saint is the most brutal murderer (butcher). The slanderer of the Saint is always restless. The slanderer of the Saint is the evil-doer of utmost extreme. naanak san t bhaavai taa us kaa bhee ho-ay mo kh. It is here that their history says that the Holy man's, not of their own, blessings brought forth a spring they report there had been no water source in the vast area." With further research, we feel there is a high possibility of adding Africa to the list of places visited by Guru Nanak.Īt a distance of about 12 miles from the Tapora Station, there is a memorial in honour of the visit of Guru Nanak in the hilly forests and about 24 miles from Kampala, there is a village named Bab Nanika. The locals had no knowledge of Sikhs before our arrival. That faintly suggests that Guru Nanak visited Africa. Recently, a number of Gianis from India visited the shrine to research the discovery (it is even believed that, in a sakhi, Bhai Mardana asked Guru Nanak why the locals had curly hair). When asked about who they revere the place for, the locals said that, "He is not one of ours but there is some great spiritual power here". The water is somehow used like ‘giving amrit’ to devotees who are all africans. But only a few hundred meters away is a small spring of fresh water which the locals do not allow anyone to drink or use for hand washing. The area is arid with no fresh water for miles. It is also said that all of Uganda ’s Kabakas (traditional kings) visited the ’shrine’ to receive blessings upon their advent of rule. Prayers are done in their traditional way. They say that the spot is covered in a bark-like material and not shown to anyone.
They say that a holy man, not one of their own, sat on a certain spot there and meditated. A small settlement, a hundred miles from Kampala, Uganda, is named ‘Bamu Nanika’ which the locals revere for its spiritual powers. According to recent research, a new discovery now suggests that Guru Nanak Dev Ji may have travelled as far to the west as East Africa.
