point I'm making is relying on someone's imagination is just that ... like my husband pointed out when I got disappointed I could not see the footsteps nishan of Guru ji at Chungthung on the boulder 'is it more important to know His word's and actions or see evidence of his footfall?' 

Is it more important to know the shape of the nose , the colour of the skin or deepness of His love and experience of hearing his Bani? Waheguru ji lives in all of us , in everything we see the bismaad is endless when you sit and contemplate...

Kathakaars do this all the time.

 

What about the Nanaksar version portrait of Guru Nanak Dev Ji? It is said to be created with Sant Mahapurkhs baksh.

Exactly. It's natural curiosity to know what the Guru's looked like - even those with a uchi suchi Jeevan have a deep desire to do Darshan of Guru Sahiban in human form.

All my posts refer to your average Joe Blow, not Srimaan Sant Baba Gyani XYZ Singh Ji Maharaaj.
