SELECTED BANI OF GURU AMAR DAS- The Universally Acceptable Philosophy
Prof Devinder Singh Chahal, PhD
View PDF Guru Amar Das composed as many bani as Guru Nanak. He was the first to caution that people started to compose Kachi (false) bani under the pen name of ‘Nanak’ after Guru Nanak's demise. Since Guru Nanak has pointed out that only rare people can deliberate bani properly, this paper discusses the need to interpret bani by applying logic and scientific information. This paper discovers that some of Guru Amar Das's bani are directly related to the philosophy embodied in the bani of Guru Nanak.
Note: ‘Bani’ is used in this article in singular and plural forms.
