DEAR SIR/MADAM

I JUST WANTED TO KNOW A COUPLE OF THINGS ABOUT SIKHISM. OKAY WHEN WE PRAY IN SIKHISM WHO DO WE PRAY TO IS IT GURU NANAK OR GOD? PLUS DO SIKHS BELIEVE IN REINCARNATION BECAUSE I DONT. I WANNA BELIEVE THAT WHEN I DIE I WILL GET TO SEE MY RELATIVESAND FRIENDS THAT I HAVE LOST. DID GURU NANAK MAKE ANY PREDICTIONS ABOUT WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE? I HOPE U CAN ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS. IF NOT THATS OKAY. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME ANYWAYS

Wahe Guru Ji Ka Khalsa,
Wahe Guru Ji Ki Fateh.

The words of the Guru open us to the experience of God. So when you meditate on Gurbani - you are like Guru Nanak praising and praying to God. If you use your own words - then you are praying to God. The Gurus were very special human beings who awakened to the Divine Light within them, but they all made it a point to emphasize that they were not God - they were just human beings who became aware of the Divine.

The Sikh Gurus explained the Divine play and reincarnation is part of the play.

Guru Nanak did not make any predicitions about the future.

Hope this answers your questions.

All love,

GPK
