Avtarbani vs Hindi Study Bible

The Avtar Bani is the religious book of Nirankari Mission that outlines the key philosophy of the Sant Nirankari Mission. It may in fact be considered the Bible or Quran of the Mission. The Sant Nirankari Mission (SNM), also known as Universal Brotherhood Mission, is a spiritual organization. The Sant Nirankari Mission is neither a new religion nor a sect of an existing religion, but an all-embracing spiritual movement dedicated to human welfare. Its objective is to establish Universal Brotherhood among people from diverse backgrounds throughout the world. His Holiness Baba Hardev Singh Ji Maharaj is the head of the Sant Nirankari Mission. Today, SNM has over 12 million followers all over the world. Its world headquarters is located in Sant Nirankari Colony, Delhi. The iphone app contains the following features - English version of Avtar bani - Hindi version of Avtar Bani - Notes option to add a note to the Verses. - Bookmark option to save your favorites. - Option to adjust font size and background color. - Live News feed from Nirankari.org . Normally, a verse from the Avtar Bani is read out before every discourse in most congregations (except when His Holiness Himself is giving the discourse). The verses are also read out at the beginning of each congregation. Devotees are however free to sing/read these verses as hymns anytime they prefer for personal spiritual enlightenment. It contains 376 hymns which describe the qualities of Formless God (Nirankar), the important role of a True Spiritual Guide in attaining God realisation, the kindness and grace of the True Master, the purpose of human life, the five fundamental principles, true devotion and how a man can lead a saintly life. The Avtar Bani is not worshipped as a holy religious book like the Quran or the Bible, but it is highly regarded by the Nirankari devotees for its authenticity.

Hindi Study Bible The producers and publishers of this Study Bible believe in the full divine inspiration of the Bible. That is, we believe that God Himself inspired the original writers of each of the 66 books so that they wrote down, word for word, in the languages they used (Hebrew, Greek, and a little Aramaic), exactly what God wanted them to write. Therefore we have no hesitation in calling the Bible the Word of God. Our highest authority for believing this is the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. In Matthew 4:4 He taught us that words found in the Old Testament had come “from the mouth of God”. He said that not the smallest part of a single letter of the law of Moses would pass away until all of it was fulfilled (Matt 5:18). He stated that words written by David were “by the Holy Spirit” of God (Mark 12:36). He said that what was spoken to the leaders of Israel was “the word of God”, and that “the Scripture cannot be broken” (John 10:35). He taught that His own teachings had come directly from God the Father in heaven (John 12:49; 14:24). He stated that the Holy Spirit of God would lead His apostles “into all truth” (John 16:13), and His apostles taught that all the Old Testament Scriptures were given “by inspiration of God” (2 Timothy 3:16), and that Old Testament prophecy came though holy men of God who “spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit” (2 Peter 1:21). The Hindi text of the Bible and the notes we have produced and present to the reader reflect this high view of inspiration. THE BIBLE TEXT : The text used for this Study Bible is not a new translation, but a authorised Version, known popularly as Hindi OV version. THE NOTES: Our sole purpose in writing and publishing these notes has been to provide the reader with a help in better understanding the Word of God, and so put it into practice more fully. They represent many years of hard work. Great care has been taken to try to expound what is in the text of the Bible, and not to present any preconceptions or prejudices we may have. It is, of course, quite possible that we have not always succeeded in this, and the reader may sometimes find mistakes in matters of fact or errors in the interpretation of a verse or a passage. May God alone be praised if those who use our Study Bible come to a better understanding of the truth through it. We are in hearty agreement with the psalmist who wrote, “Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory, because of your mercy and because of your truth” (Ps 115:1). In this we will have our joy and satisfaction. We have provided a great many references throughout the notes and in a brief concordance at the end. We hope all these references are accurate, but are aware that mistakes in proof reading are always possible and may be found here and there. If the reader discovers any such mistakes we would appreciate having them pointed out to us. © Dusty Sandals and Grace Ministries
