what is difference in Sakhi and Kahani
Commonly among Sikhs, Sakhi is presented as an actual incident usually from Guru period. But ususally they are madeup by some Bhai Sahib or self proclaimed historian.
Whereas KAHANHI is a story which could be totally made up / imaginary.
SAKHI laiteraly means SIKHIA, or a message. It also means a story with a message.
ਅੰਤਰਿ ਜੋਤਿ ਪਰਗਟੁ ਪਾਸਾਰਾ ॥
ਗੁਰ ਸਾਖੀ ਮਿਟਿਆ ਅੰਧਿਆਰਾ ॥(ਮ:੩, ਪੰ:੧੨੬)
(The darkness disappeared with the SAKHI/message of Guru)
