The tenth Guru of Sikhs, Guru Gobind Singh Ji, declared "Guru Granth Sahib Ji" as the eternal and perpetual Guru of the Sikhs. Generally, speaking outside Sikhism Guru Granth Sahib Ji is seen just as a holy scripture or a holy book as Holy Bible or Koran but within Sikhism it is not seen as holy scripture but is treated as a living embodiment of Sikh Gurus and considered as their final Guru.

What do you say about Guru Gobind Singh Ji saying that whoever calls him God will go to Hell?

There is no doubt that Guru and Waheguru are one and the same. Guru is a form of Waheguru; formed to play the crucial role of freeing the Jeevs from Maya.How do you explain the lines like:jae ham ko paramaesar ouchar hai | thae sabh narak kundd mehi par hai |mo ka dhaas thavan kaa jaano | yaa mai bhaedh n ranch pashaano | 32 |Translation:- "Those who call me God, will fall into the pit of hell.Regard me as a humble servant of the Lord and have no doubt about it."The lines really are written by Guru Gobind Singh Ji to avoid Sikhs to indulge in the pooja of "Guru Gobind Singh Ji" instead of worshipping the Guru-jyot (Guru Light) in Guru Gobind Singh Ji.The previous avatars like Krishna and Rama did good works but ended up becoming gods themselves and having people worship them. This has been highlighted in Bachitter Natak by Siri Dasmesh jee. In other religions they say "Jai Raam jee kee" or "Jai Sita Raam" or "Har Har Mahadev" (referring to Shiv jee). But in Sikh faith, Guru Sahib never asked us to shout "Guru Gobind Singh Zindabad" or "Guru Gobind Singh kee jai". Instead, we are trained to say "Sat Sri Akaal" and thus paying homage to Waheguru alone. We don't japp the Naam of any Guru and nor it is instructed in Gurbani to do so. We are instructed to japp Naam of Waheguru. This is the greatness of the Ten Guru Sahibaan who were themselves Guru-form of Waheguru but still instructed Sikhs to japp Naam of Waheguru only.These lines of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, quoted in the beginning, are true in the sense that whole of Waheguru, who pervades the whole universe was not restricted in the human body of Guru Gobind Singh Ji as Hindus think he was in the body of Siri Krishna. Guru Arjun Dev Ji has said it very clearly that let that mouth burn that says Thakur comes in joni (takes birth).Waheguru (as a whole) is Ajooni i.e. never takes birth. Our Guru Sahibaan were a form of Waheguru i.e. the Guru Form of Waheguru, created to bring the lost jeev-aatmas on right path.

What is the story of the Panj Piare?

On Vaisakhi day in 1699, Guru Gobind Singh summoned Sikhs from all over India to the city of Anandpur Sahib. At this gathering, the Guru called upon Sikhs to uphold their faith and preserve the Sikh religion. Guru Gobind Singh then lifted his sword and asked that anyone prepared to give his life for his faith to come forward. There was a big silence, but the Guru went on repeating his demand. One Sikh finally came forward and followed the Guru into a tent. Shortly after, the Guru reappeared alone with his sword covered in blood, and asked for a second volunteer. Another Sikh stepped forward and again the Guru took him into the tent, and re-appeared alone with his sword covered with blood. This was repeated until five Sikhs had offered their heads for the Guru. Finally, the Guru emerged from the tent with all five men dressed piously in blue. Guru Gobind Singh called the five Sikhs the Panj Pyare, the Five Beloved Ones.The Panj Pyare were then baptized in a unique ceremony called pahul. Guru Gobind Singh prepared amrit (holy water) in a bowl using a short steel sword. Then the Guru's wife, Mata Sundri, added patashas (sugar crystals) into the amrit. After completing prayers, Guru Gobind Singh sprinkled the amrit on each of the Panj Pyare. The Guru then knelt before the five and asked them to baptize him as well. The Guru proclaimed that the Panj Pyare would be the embodiment of the Guru himself: "Where there are Panj Pyare, there am I. When the Five meet, they are the holiest of the holy."The Panj Pyare were the first members of the new Sikh community called the Khalsa. Guru Gobind Singh gave the Khalsa a unique identity with five distinctive symbols of purity and courage, known today as the Five K's:KeshUncut hair, which is kept covered by a distinctive turban. Kesh are a traditional symbol of holiness in India, and the turban is a symbol of leadership.Kirpan· A ceremonial sword, symbolizing readiness to defend the defenseless, and defend one's faith against persecution.· The kirpan shows the warrior character of a Sikh.KaraA steel bracelet, symbolizing strength and integrity.Steel is symbolic of strength yet resilient under stress. In the same way, the human soul must become as strong and unbreakable as steel which has been tempered in the furnace.KangaA wooden comb, symbolizing cleanliness and order.The kanga is used to keep the hair clean. As a Sikh combs their hair daily, he or she should also comb their mind with the Guru's wisdom.KasheraCotton boxer shorts, symbolizing self-control over desire.The Guru gave all Khalsa men the surname of Singh (lion) as a reminder to be courageous. Women took on the surname Kaur (princess) to emphasize dignity. With the distinct Khalsa identity, Guru Gobind Singh gave all Sikhs the opportunity to live lives of courage, sacrifice, and equality.
