Not quite sure if the transliteration in Devanagari is correct (actually I'm pretty certain it's wrong). Please can someone double check it for me. Sukh 17:28, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I've noticed that the person editing from 24.81.188.120 keeps trying to "Hindu-fy" the pages related to Sikhism and the Ten Gurus. Subtle changes, including where the Gurus were born, to adding modifiers to lessen the Gurus travels to the West and universal message to both Muslims and Hindus, while magnifying Hindu elements (e.g. in the manner of Hindu saints). I suggest we revert back to an earlier version before this clown changes everything to suit his agenda.

Update: I've traced this user as Deepak Trivedi, aka Deeptrivia , who made most of his selective edits in two days - Jan 3rd and Jan 4th, 2006. His objective, as seen on other websites, is easily found with a quick persual of Google, and other links on Wikipedia.

FURTHER UPDATE: User Deeptrivia apparently can't hide his Anti-Muslim, Hindu-Nationalist mentality concerning other topics either. There is a recent discussion on Google groups regarding ARABIC NUMERALS, where Deeptrivia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Deeptrivia) proposes to change ARABIC NUMERALS to HINDU-ARABIC NUMBERALS on Wikipedia (German edition).

Update: Saw these comments today. Our friend 130.13.66.79 had no evidence for his hilarious claims, which I had a lot of fun reading. Just took a second to check that the IP 24.81.188.120, which has been "traced to" User:deeptrivia is actually from Calgary, Canada. Please ignore the above statements. deeptrivia (talk) 14:10, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ambrosia[edit]

I doubt that Guru Ram Das ever said ambrosia. Ambrosia is the food of the greek gods which gave them immortality. My understanding is that none of the Sikh Gurus ever claimed to be avatars or gods or immortals. Only sons of WaheGuru like everyone else. Same person keeps adding honorifics to each mention of the Guru's names. Its as if a holy roller Baptist keeps adding Jesus God our Lord and Savior to every mention of Jesus' name. I thought that the Gurus like Jesus and The Rasul only claimed to be men. I thought that Guru Gobid Singh made this clear when he submitted to 'baptism'(sorry I don't know the Gurmukh word) by the Panj Piare, two of whom ordered him to leave the battle in which his older sons became martyrs. If I remember correctly the 10th Guru was also chastized by his Sikhs for bowing at a temple of some Muslim Sant on his way to meet Banda Bahadur. Atmamatma 03:51, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
