Question:

Who among the following emphasised the worship of God as Nirankar (formless) in Punjab, India?

Options:

Guru Gobind Singh

Maharaja Ranjit Singh

Baba Dayal Das

Baba Ram Singh

Correct Answer:

Baba Dayal Das

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → Baba Dayal Das

Out of the given options, the one who emphasised the worship of God as Nirankar (formless) in Punjab, India, is Baba Dayal Das.

Here's a breakdown of why the others are not the answer:

  • Guru Gobind Singh: While a revered Sikh Guru, his teachings didn't specifically focus on formless worship.
  • Maharaja Ranjit Singh: He was a Sikh ruler and didn't focus on specific religious reforms.
  • Baba Ram Singh: He was associated with the Namdhari sect of Sikhism, with different beliefs.

Baba Dayal Das, on the other hand, founded the Nirankari movement within Sikhism, which emphasized the formless nature of God (Nirankar).
