Make sense if we look satguru nanak dev ji  from nanak nirgun absolute truth perspective coming into sargun form. Satguru Nanak  dev ji maharaj is pure gyan saroop all prevadaing pure consciousness just like how krishan is consider all prevading consciouness gyan saroop in bhagvad gita.

 

[mahanpaapi]

very true ji,

and simran of Waheguru gurmantar erase our sins of all four yugs as most of us have been around since then.

 

thanks

I am so sure in a granth I faintly remember Nanak parkash? There is a chapter on guru Nanak sarguns form, and if I remember correctly exactly like Vishnu. Please don't take my word for it as it was 5 years since I remember reading that.

 

Anyone also read or heard this?

The opening verses of the Nanak Prakash deals with an interpretation of the Vahiguru Mantra in its nirgun and sargun form yes. It is very similiar to the lines of Bhai Gurdas.

[BhagatSingh]

Amardeep

Vishnu/Hari is the name of the Absolute Consciousness, whereas Shri Ram and Krishan ji and Guru Nanak Dev ji are his avtars. So the correct question would be -

Did Shri Vishnu come as Ram Chandra ji, Krishan jiand Guru Nanak Dev ji?

Indeed. Bhai Gurdas ji is not the only one that says this. In Guru Granth Sahib it says -

ਸਤਜੁਗਿ ਤੈ ਮਾਣਿਓ ਛਲਿਓ ਬਲਿ ਬਾਵਨ ਭਾਇਓ ॥
In Satyug, You (Vishnu) enjoyed deceiving and liberating King Bali in the Vaman avtar.

ਤ੍ਰੇਤੈ ਤੈ ਮਾਣਿਓ ਰਾਮੁ ਰਘੁਵੰਸੁ ਕਹਾਇਓ ॥
In Treta, You loved being called King Ram, of the Raghu Dynasty.

ਦੁਆਪੁਰਿ ਕ੍ਰਿਸਨ ਮੁਰਾਰਿ ਕੰਸੁ ਕਿਰਤਾਰਥੁ ਕੀਓ ॥
In Dwapar, You, Krishan Murara, killed Kans and saved everyone.

ਉਗ੍ਰਸੈਣ ਕਉ ਰਾਜੁ ਅਭੈ ਭਗਤਹ ਜਨ ਦੀਓ ॥
You granted Kingship to Ugrasain and elevated your devotees.

ਕਲਿਜੁਗਿ ਪ੍ਰਮਾਣੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਰੁ ਅੰਗਦੁ ਅਮਰੁ ਕਹਾਇਓ ॥
In Kaliyug, You came as Guru Nanak Dev, Guru Angad Dev and Guru Amar Das.

ਸ੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਰਾਜੁ ਅਬਿਚਲੁ ਅਟਲੁ ਆਦਿ ਪੁਰਖਿ ਫੁਰਮਾਇਓ ॥੭॥
The rule of Guru Sahibs is unchanging, unmovable, by His very command.

 

Satguru Nanak  dev ji maharaj is pure gyan saroop all prevadaing pure consciousness just like how krishan is consider all prevading consciouness gyan saroop in bhagvad gita.

In Guru Granth Sahib as well.
Guru Nanak Dev ji says -
 ਏਕ ਕ੍ਰਿਸ੍ਨੰ ਤ ਸਰਬ ਦੇਵਾ ਦੇਵ ਦੇਵਾ ਤ ਆਤਮਹ ॥
The light of all divine beings is Krishna, and atma is His form.

ਆਤਮੰ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਬਾਸ੍ਵਦੇਵਸ੍ਯ੍ਯ ਜੇ ਕੋਈ ਜਾਨਸਿ ਭੇਵ ॥
Atma is the form of Shri Vasudev, if anyone recognizes this secret (that there is no distinction between Atma and Krishna)

ਨਾਨਕ ਤਾ ਕੋ ਦਾਸੁ ਹੈ ਸੋਈ ਨਿਰੰਜਨ ਦੇਵ ॥੪॥
Nanak says I am the servant of that very Niranjan Dev.



Bhagat Namdev ji ties them all together in one shabad-

ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥

How come there is always differences in who the Poran Hari avatar was in Satjug? Sri Krishna and Sri Ram are always consistant, but for Satjug the scriptures mention Vasudev, Narsingha and Bal Baavan.

[BhagatSingh]

Vasudev,

​Vasudev is Krishan ji's dad. However, Krishan ji is also known as Vasudev because He is everywhere.

Narsingha

That's true Narsingh ji and Prehlad ji came before birth of Shri Ram in Tretayug.

Bal Baavan

You are reading that incorrectly, read it again.

ਸਤਜੁਗਿ ਤੈ ਮਾਣਿਓ ਛਲਿਓ ਬਲਿ ਬਾਵਨ ਭਾਇਓ ॥
In Satyug, You (Vishnu) enjoyed deceiving and liberating King Bali in the Vaman avtar.

The sihari matters ਬਲਿ, Bal Bali was a king. He was the grandson of Prehlad ji. He was shown omnipresence of Shri Hari through Vaman avtar. Vaman ji was a Brahmin, a very small man, who grew so large that his 2 steps covered the entire existence (outside, the whole universe). On the third step, Bali said, "Place it on my head (enter my mind, be inside)"  And then Vaman did just that, and Bali was liberated.
Guru Ram Das ji says
ਹਰਿ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਬਾਹਰਿ ਇਕੁ ਤੂੰ ਤੂੰ ਜਾਣਹਿ ਭੇਤੁ ॥
Hari, you are inside, inside the body and the mind, and you are outside, outside everywhere in the whole universe. You know everyone's state, You experience it all.

King Bali realized this through Vaman ji. Both came before Tretayug.

Narsingh -> Vaman -> Ram -> Krishan

I'm wondering if these translations are correct. For example for the below verse in Punjabi it does not mention Guru Nanak Dev Ji's name however the english translation does

ਗਾਵੈ ਗੁਣ ਮਹਾਦੇਉ ਬੈਰਾਗੀ ਜਿਨਿ ਧਿਆਨ ਨਿਰੰਤਰਿ ਜਾਣਿਓ ॥

 

गावै गुण महादेउ बैरागी जिनि धिआन निरंतरि जाणिओ ॥

 

Gāvai guṇ mahāḏe▫o bairāgī jin ḏẖi▫ān niranṯar jāṇi▫o.

 

Shiva, detached and beyond desire, sings the Glorious Praises of Guru Nanak, who knows the Lord's endless meditation.

Is the below in SGGS ji?

Bhagat Namdev ji ties them all together in one shabad-

ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥
ੴ By The Grace Of The True Guru:

ਧਨਿ ਧੰਨਿ ਓ ਰਾਮ ਬੇਨੁ ਬਾਜੈ ॥
Blessed, blessed is that flute which the Lord plays.

ਮਧੁਰ ਮਧੁਰ ਧੁਨਿ ਅਨਹਤ ਗਾਜੈ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
The sweet, sweet unstruck sound current sings forth. ||1||Pause||

ਧਨਿ ਧਨਿ ਮੇਘਾ ਰੋਮਾਵਲੀ ॥
Blessed, blessed is the wool of the sheep;

ਧਨਿ ਧਨਿ ਕ੍ਰਿਸਨ ਓਢੈ ਕਾਂਬਲੀ ॥੧॥
blessed, blessed is the wool blanket worn by Shri Krishna. ||1||

ਧਨਿ ਧਨਿ ਤੂ ਮਾਤਾ ਦੇਵਕੀ ॥
Blessed, blessed are you, O mother Devaki;

ਜਿਹ ਗ੍ਰਿਹ ਰਮਈਆ ਕਵਲਾਪਤੀ ॥੨॥
into your home the all pervading Husband of Kamla (Maya/Mata Lakshmi), Vishnu, was born. ||2||

ਧਨਿ ਧਨਿ ਬਨ ਖੰਡ ਬਿੰਦ੍ਰਾਬਨਾ ॥
Blessed, blessed are the forests of Brindaaban;

ਜਹ ਖੇਲੈ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਨਾਰਾਇਨਾ ॥੩॥
where Shri Narayana played. ||3||

ਬੇਨੁ ਬਜਾਵੈ ਗੋਧਨੁ ਚਰੈ ॥
He plays the flute, and herds the cows;

ਨਾਮੇ ਕਾ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਆਨਦ ਕਰੈ ॥੪॥੧॥
Nam Dev's Master plays happily. ||4||1||

ਮੇਰੋ ਬਾਪੁ ਮਾਧਉ ਤੂ ਧਨੁ ਕੇਸੌ ਸਾਂਵਲੀਓ ਬੀਠੁਲਾਇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
O my Father Vishnu , Husband of my Mother (Maya), blessed are You, You long-haired, dark-skinned, Veethala (another avtaar of Parmatma). ||1||Pause||

ਕਰ ਧਰੇ ਚਕ੍ਰ ਬੈਕੁੰਠ ਤੇ ਆਏ ਗਜ ਹਸਤੀ ਕੇ ਪ੍ਰਾਨ ਉਧਾਰੀਅਲੇ ॥
You hold the steel chakra in Your hand; You came down from Baikunth (where only Shri Hari Vishnu resides), and saved the life of the elephant (who was attacked, and was trapped in the tight jaws of a crocodile when he went to take a drink in a pool).

ਦੁਹਸਾਸਨ ਕੀ ਸਭਾ ਦ੍ਰੋਪਤੀ ਅੰਬਰ ਲੇਤ ਉਬਾਰੀਅਲੇ ॥੧॥
In the court of Duhshasan, You (Krishan ji) saved the honor of Dropadi, when her clothes were being removed. ||1||

ਗੋਤਮ ਨਾਰਿ ਅਹਲਿਆ ਤਾਰੀ ਪਾਵਨ ਕੇਤਕ ਤਾਰੀਅਲੇ ॥
You (Ram Chandra) saved Ahalya (who was turned to stone), the wife of Gautam; how many have You purified and carried across?

ਐਸਾ ਅਧਮੁ ਅਜਾਤਿ ਨਾਮਦੇਉ ਤਉ ਸਰਨਾਗਤਿ ਆਈਅਲੇ ॥੨॥੨॥
Such a lowly outcaste as Naam Dev has come seeking Your Sanctuary. ||2||2||

[BhagatSingh]

Remember to read the full shabad and not just one sentence. ;)

[BhagatSingh]
