Re: Eeshwar Allah tero Naam !

I am an Indian, a born Hindu and married to a Sikh but I have never come across any statement that says parents or gurus are above god. Yes, a lot of times they are equated to god as they definitely establish the conscience of god, goodness, kindness, and also an individuality within themselves.

The Upanishads say:
– Matru devo bhavaḥ (Mother is equivalent to god and her name is taken first as she is the one who has given birth)
– Pitru devo bhavaḥ (Father is equivalent to god and comes after the mother)
– Acharya devo bhavaḥ (Teacher/Guru is equivalent to god and comes after the parents in terms of priority)
– Atithi devo bhavaḥ (Guests either invited or uninvited at your place are equivalent to god and you are asked to treat them with respect and not turn them away. This is another way of saying God can appear anywhere unannounced and in any form and people are always expected to be ready to invite him.)

Sikh is the last choice to be made if one has to chose husband:D j/k
Will give direct you to right instance of Bhagwan Krishna’s life but you have to dig out rest:)
Bhagwan was taught in 52 vidhyas in 52 days by Rishi Sandipani whose son was lost in the sea to a Rakshas who lived in the sea, Guru Mata requests Shri Krishna to retrieve her son who lived in conch in the sea, when Balram asked him about risks, Bhagwan says somethng, that something is for you to find, that conch is called Paanchjanya though:)

Upnishads are post vedic literature, Hinduism is never consistent in its writing, Vedas says Indra,Mitra,Varun etc are god and those who don’t believe in them are naastik and condemned to death but later hinduism has holy trinity which is no where in Vedas. You are new guest here, hence Atithi devo bhavah:)

Pati Parmeshwaray namoh namah are the words mostly used by Mata Parvati for Bhagwan Shiv, hence many a times she is directly quoted in favor of this statement.
