Guru Nanak are asked about the religions founded in their name. If
you could show them how their religions evolved over time (centuries
after their death), which specific parts do you think they would NOT
recognize or acknowledge. In other words, which part of their
religions would they see as CONTRADICTING their original intentions.
This is a speculative question, but be sure to ground it with some
pertinent quotes/facts/details.
The way that religion has evolved so rapidly is completely amazing, if this situation were to happen, neither Buddha nor Mahavira would be able to recognize their religions at all
Buddha would have questioned the authority of the Dali lama, and Mahavira the reason why they lack focus of mediation.Krishna would have wondered whether he taught the hindus at all because of their apparent disregard for the scriptures. Guru Nanak's peaceful self would be balffled at the way sikhism has evolved into a religion of violence.
