25.) Guru Gobind Singh worshipped goddess/ naina devi/ shiva or others.

False. No guru ever worshipped any goddess, gods or stone after becoming sikhs. There were 2 cases when they were hindus but they became sikhs and left old ways then they qualified to be Gurus. Some people are wrongly describing Tenth Guru's writing and claiming he worshipped durga or shiva but they are not telling you that his writing clearly states that 'i do not believe in these gods'. If guru is 'worshipping gods' then he is writing from a poet point of view and doing justice to his writing. His writings consist prologues and epilogues which clears everything. Sri Bhagauti is not durga and Guru also used mata or mother for Vaheguru. Some writings are translation/retelling of already existing stories and books, such as Chandi Charitar which is retelling of Devi Saptashati of Markandeya Purana, another one is Ram Avatar which is re-telling of popular epic Ramayana. But in his personal writings / prologues / epilogues, Guru says: Akal ustat- Personal: ਅਨਹਦ ਰੂਪ ਅਨਾਹਦ ਬਾਨੀ ॥ He is Limitless Entity and hath infinite celestial strain. ਚਰਨ ਸਰਨਿ ਜਿਹ ਬਸਤ ਭਵਾਨੀ ॥ The goddess Durga takes refuge at His Feet and abides there. Chandi Charitar- Prologue: ਆਦਿ ਅਪਾਰ ਅਲੇਖ ਅਨੰਤ ਅਕਾਲ ਅਭੇਖ ਅਲਖ ਅਨਾਸਾ ॥ The Lord is Primal, Infinite, Account less, Boundless, Deathless, Garbless, Incomprehensible and Eternal. ਕੈ ਸਿਵ ਸਕਤ ਦਏ ਸ੍ਰੁਤਿ ਚਾਰ ਰਜੋ ਤਮ ਸਤ ਤਿਹੂੰ ਪੁਰ ਬਾਸਾ ॥ He created Shiva-Shakti, four Vedas and three modes of maya and Pervades in three worlds. Chandi di var- Prologue: ਸਿਰਜੇ ਦਾਨੋ ਦੇਵਤੇ ਤਿਨ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਬਾਦੁ ਰਚਾਇਆ ॥ He created the demons and gods and caused strife between them. ਤੈ ਹੀ ਦੁਰਗਾ ਸਾਜਿ ਕੈ ਦੈਤਾ ਦਾ ਨਾਸ ਕਰਾਇਆ ॥ O Lord! By creating Durga, Thou hast caused the destruction of demons. Tav prasad savaiyye- Personal: ਬ੍ਰਹਮ ਮਹੇਸੁਰ ਬਿਸਨੁ ਸਚੀਪਤਿ ਅੰਤਿ ਫਸੇ ਜਮ ਫਾਸਿ ਪਰੈਂਗੇ ॥ Brahma, Shiva, Vishnu and Indra would ultimately fall in the noose of death. Chaupaee- Personal: ਤਾ ਕੌ ਕਰਿ ਪਾਹਨ ਅਨੁਮਾਨਤ ॥ਮਹਾ ਮੂੜ ਕਛੁ ਭੇਦ ਨ ਜਾਨਤ ॥ The fool considers Him a stone,but the great fool does not know any secret. Ram avatar- Epilogue: ਰਾਮ ਰਹੀਮ ਪੁਰਾਨ ਕੁਰਾਨ ਅਨੇਕ ਕਹੈਂ ਮਤ ਏਕ ਨ ਮਾਨਯੋ ॥ Ram Rahim Puran Quran there are many believes, i don't follow any of these.
