Nirmalas

[Guest SikhingAnswers]

Wjkk Wjkf,

 

I have only recently found out about the Nirmala and i was wondering why Guru Gobind Singh Ji sent 5 sikhs to banaras to learn from the hindu pandits?

 

What and why did they need to learn from the pandits? Why was this knowledge required by Sikhs?

 

So many questions

deeper knowledge of the shastras vedas and granths , also in those days sanskrit was restricted to only brahmins ...

knowledge was to be able to understand the other faith , to give answers to deeper philosophical questions posed by such brahmins etc
