The Gur (lit. Guru's) Partap (lit. greatness) Suraj (lit. Sun/Lantern) Granth (lit. large and complete text of knowledge) is the most prominent historical text about early Sikh history of the 10 Gurus written by Kavi Santokh Singh ji dating around 1843 and written in a similiar format to the Hindu Ramayan or Mahabharat containing a complete gathering of knowledge of various fields representing an entire collection down to specifics.
It is in the curriculum of the Damdami Taksal and is done as Katha ('the telling'/discourse/lecture) frequently and popularly throughout the world today. It should ideally be only read or listened to when sad or stressed (or traditionally after/during evening or sun-down) as opposed to Gurbani (and not historic or goal related events). It is arranged by the 6 Indian seasons and time based sections, such as 12 zodiac and the 6 month each Dakshinayana and Uttar-Ayan time periods.
Topics:
Similarities between Cyrus the Great (600–530 BC) and Sri Krishna:
Birth stories of attempted to be killed, Though may have been common occurrence at the time.
Zoroaster, of the agni (fire) worshiping religion Zoroastrianism sounds like Yudhishthira from Mahabarat. (Could also probably be the other way around with Zoroaster stealing the name from Yudhistar too, either way all this is hard to describe what Hinduism is)
Notations of many fire worships being done at start of Mahabharat.
Another way to look at it is that the Ramayan (Indian Epic) is a written much later storizied version of the values of vedas (in which Lord Rama does not appear) In this idealization there is a higher divine soul than Krishna called Rama who came thousands of years earlier. He was and spiritually is considered the ideal man. His brother Laxman is considered the ideal brother, his wife Sita the ideal wife, and his dispile Hanuman the ideal disciple. He may have come from a more heavenly realm though some say he was from the continent the submerged between Africa and India. (Tamil Chinthanaiyalar Peravai)
There are other Devas (lights of God) such as Ganesh who is simply a symbol of all yogis and yogi teachings. (Tamil Chinthanaiyalar Peravai) There are many such preeminent sages who where yogis or writers who find mention in this epic of Sikh history who Kavi ji reveres such as Bhrigu while narrating the history of the 10 gurus, their esteemed deity Sri Bhagoti (spirit of righteousness) and other values the Sikhs propagated, and overall a treasure of all Indian knowledge.
It is worth bearing the knowledge there was a time when oriental society was much more liement and non-observant of which religion one "belonged to" and there was a more mix and matching of different beliefs in ones household and community (Project Maati 2020 Haveli Naunihal Singh and the story of Subcontinental Architecture VR) Especially after the 15th century Bhagtki movement where many saints said I am neither Hindu or Muslalman (Kabir, Dadu Ram, etc). Originally saints and great men including the Prophet (SAW), Zarathushtra, and Guru Nanak Dev ji taught to one and all and after doing so people widely did still hold on to their original and family beliefs and religions. Thus a Guru or saint /etc. is just someone close to God, and higher ideals, and one usually wouldn't have any problems whatsoever in following them no matter what ones religious background is or was or will be. And if anyone asks Sikhism and Hinduism have the same beliefs however the notable difference is in the mean of the community (including standards, cultural practices, Sri Sri Sri Khalsa maryadas, belief in oneness, some minimal unconditional love and peace)
The prime historical language of the old manuscripts of Punjab is Braj, the language originating from the school that formed around Krishna's birthplace, and it is language of the Suraj Prakash granth written in Gurmukhi script. The standard in Punjabi for all verbs is Sanskrit root words.
As the world turns day to night the moon moves month to month the sun makes years maybe the galaxy is also rotating creating a seven day cycle, or something else logically simple that creates the 7 day cycle.
As we do certain activities differently when it rains, when it is windy, snowy, cloudy, etc. the same knowledge can be applied to our blood and body being affected by the gravitational and astrological pull of the moon and other planets and known locations of black holes (DK 2013 Starfinder) according to its distance from us. Gurbani contains many compositions that talk about different activities to do according to months (Barah Mah) and according to linear cycle (Thiti) as well as the different quarters of days and Pahars.
Chakras are form of Yogi mat (teachings) and dividing the body into different components.
There are 7 or so chakra realms in the body that follow up the spine to the head and out towards dreams and the subconscious realm each with it's unique color and corresponding traits. They start with the root chakra (red) found at the sex origins and travels up to (yellow) the solar plex, up to (green) - the heart, up to (cyan) - peace, and (blue) and (indigo) the head and beyond to spiritual realms.
Chakras are connected to Astrology as well and for the purposes of gaining more insight into the 12 zodiac sections of Suraj Prakash - I have included their traits in the corresponding sections.
Hinduism is a very vague term that can maybe perhaps cover thousands of different beliefs however for our purposes in its most popular Braj (Punjabi / Hindi / Bungali / Gujarii / Marathi, etc) form I think is the same charismatic spirit of which the Quran mentions of Dhul-Qarnayn or Cyrus the Great who was revered in Hinduism as Krishna (who was in contrast a late figure in Hinduism), though his name also resembles Jesus Christ (AS). (chandrashekhara 2012 "A striking similarity" [Internet] https://chandrashekharasandprints.wordpress.com/2012/12/10/a-striking-similarity/) This culture essentially is perhaps the primarily Persian speaking extremely rich empire that stretched from India to the Middle east from ancient times. Cyrus the Great was the man who freed the Jews in Babylon (O'Callaghan, Sean 2010 The Compact Guide to World Religions) and whose empire few hundred of years later was conquered by the Greeks and Alexander rule this empire today forms I think forms much of Punjabi culture and language today.
First, Tamil is of considerable antiquity. It predates the literatures of other modern Indian languages by more than a thousand years. Its oldest work, the Tolkappiyam,, contains parts that, judging from the earliest Tamil inscriptions, date back to about 200 BCE...The dating of the Tolkappiyam is difficult, much debated, and it remains contested and uncertain. Proposals range between 5,320 BCE and the 8th century CE - Wikipedia
