I have been lately reading some history books on the history of the Sikhs and can’t help but notice that there seems to be little evidence for Guru Nanak’s first encounter with God. I know about the jamanshakis, however I have also heard that they serve as unreliable evidence. This encounter is a significant part of the basis of the Sikh religion, and it has very little evidence to support it. So, what if Guru Nanak’s encounter with God never happened? What does that mean for the Sikh religion then? Please know I don’t say this with malice but with honest curiosity, and I am not saying there is no evidence I just want your help and perspective on this issue as it has been bugging me for the past days.
Evidence for Guru Nanak's claims

Please understand that the Gurbani is the only authentic source, which was written by the writers themselves and which has come to us without any adulteration. The Sakhis were written by others and there is lot of exaggeration. Therefore, to each and every Sakhi, the touchstone of Gurbani has to be applied and those Sakhis, which don’t pass the test have to be rejected. Further, the Shabad Guru doesn’t teach religion but spirituality. To understand Sikhi Concepts, please click on the link below and see 12 small small videos on the subject of Sikhi Concepts:

Further, Gurbani doesn’t subscribe to miracles. Rather, it teaches us to live life, in Akalurakh’s Hukam. The Guru Sahiban remained in Akalurakh’s Hukam and taught Sikhs also the same.
The understand requests you to see the video:-The video makes it very clear that the Ninth Guru Person refused to do anything against Divine Law (ਹੁਕਮ/ ਰਜ਼ਾ/ਭਾਣਾ).
