'Chaubis Avtar', and more specifically, the story of the 24th avtar is confusing me alot.
The katha of the kalki avtar mentions things such as '

The Brahmin-women will live with Shudras; the Vaishya-women will reside in the homes of Kshatriyas and the Kshatriya-women in the homes of Vaishyas; the Shudra-women will be in the homes of Brahmins.16.

This line would suggest that inter caste marriages are sinful, and their are many other lines such as this.
It makes me wonder about the authenticity of Chaubis avtar. Now, im not a supporter of the people and Jeonwala and Darshan lal, and I am sure he nitnem banis and other banis in the Dasam Granth sahib are authentic, im just wondering if chaubis avtar might not be authentic or if the translation is wrong or something else.

Where does it say its sinful?...it says that kalki avtar will come when the tribes, races, relgions mix etc ....

[ladli-fauj]

whats wrong with the line ? its talking about the events of which happen before chaubis avtar is described in the baani, where do you see it as probably not authentic ? it describes what happens in society did not all our gurus talk about whats happening in society, its not saying its good or bad but what people follow and how people become followers of many faiths and mix in society.

[ladli-fauj]

also in krishna avtar guru ji even mentions the intent of narrating that epic. “I have no other intent (in narrating the epic) but to instill the spirit of war for righteousness. this is also a narration/description of events

Read the Bani before this line and read the Bani after this line. Then think about what Maharaj is saying. When you cut Bani like this, then many things that make complete sense will be regarded as anti-gurmat. The Darshan Ragi team does this to Gurbani to make people think a certain way. When Gurmukhs do veechar, they speak about the whole shabad and then speak about a certain tuk they want to stress. This way the tuk is kept in context.

I am not blaming you of anything, just telling you to be careful, when you try to understand Gurbani.

Can you please explain this Bani in its whole context and enlighten the Sangat.

Guru sahib writes in krishna avtar

ਦਸਮ ਕਥਾ ਭਾਗਉਤ ਕੀ ਭਾਖਾ ਕਰੀ ਬਨਾਇ ॥ ਅਵਰ ਬਾਸਨਾ ਨਾਹਿ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਧਰਮ ਜੁੱਧ ਕੇ ਚਾਇ ॥੨੪੯੧॥
दसम कथा भागउत की भाखा करी बनाइ ॥ अवर बासना नाहि प्रभ धरम जु्ध के चाइ ॥२४९१॥
I have composed the discourse of the tenth part (Skandh) of Bhagavat in the vernacular; O Lord ! I have no other desire and have only the zeal for the war fought on the basis of righteousness.2491

So aim of Guru sahib was not to promote these avtars but instil a
spirit of bir rass among his followers.

I am sure none of the opponents has read Dasam Granth at all. They
seem to get some lines out of context from their masters and then
spread misinformation. There is noting in Dasam gRanth THAT MAKES
it a suspect scritpure. Everything is per gurmat.

Guru Ji is not critical of inter-caste marriages. The understanding to this is that Guru Ji is telling is that all people willwaver from their religious paths to extremes, such as Brahmans residing with shudranees. They will lose all understanding of dharma.

I suppose anti-Dasam Granth people use this as way of highlighting that how could Guru Ji complain about inter-caste relationships when Sikhi itself was formed to eradicate the caste system (amongst other equally vital objectives of course)?
