Purantan Sikh Soldier Photographs From 1850S.
dsinghkhalsa replied to pedrorizzo's topic in WHAT'S HAPPENING?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sher_Ali_Khan It's not Mahraja Ranjit Singh, but Sher Ali Khan, Emir of Afghanistan. But to the bottom left, sitting on chairs are the Sikh Maharaja's of Patiala, Nabha, Kapurthala and Jind. -
Here are some photo's of the Gaj-Gah of Guru Gobind Singh Jee that is preserved at Takht Sri Hazoor Sahib, it's quite big. So assuming that Guru Sahib would have worn it in a matter that it would have been secure on his dastaar, his dastaar would have been pretty big. I've included a pic of a Nihang Singh with a similiar size Gaj-Gah for a reference. Also here's some pics of the Kalgi and pearl necklace of Guru Gobind Singh Jee's that's also preserved at Hazoor Sahib. And a pic of the dastaar of Guru Hargobind Sahib Jee's, which is 24 yards/20 metres/60 feet. So one can just assume that the dastaars worn by the Guru Sahib's must have been bigger/longer than is usually portrayed in paintings. As well there is an account in a Mughal record of the time describing Guru Gobind Singh Jee with an 18" tall dastaar, dressed in regal attire.

The shaheedi of the Sahib Jadey as well as all the shaheeds of the battle of Chamkaur, 40 Muktay shaheedi divas, Avtarpurb of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Jee (depending on the calendar you follow), I'm sure there's other events in Decemeber as well.

Who Was Jathadar When Idols In Harmandar Sahib
dsinghkhalsa replied to BhagatBalmik's topic in GURBANI | SAKHIAN | HISTORY
It must have been someone who was put in charge by the British, because before that Jathedar Akaali Baba Hanumaan Singh Jee was the Jathedar of Akaal Takht Sahib Jee, and before him Jathedar Akaali Baba Phoola Singh Jee was the Jathedar of Akaal Takht. After Maharaaja Ranjeet Singh Jee died, alot of drama happened in the Sikh Kingdom and the Dogra's were in conspiracy with the British to over throw the Sikh Kingdom. Akaali Baba Hanumaan Singh Jee and the Khaalsa army fought against the traitors and British army, and all the surviving Nihang Singhs took refuge at Hazoor Sahib. The British took over all the royal administration of the Sikh Kingdom, so anything that was managed by Maharaaja Ranjeet Singh were then taken over by the British. During the time of Maharaaja Ranjeet Singh, the Lahore Darbar oversaw the running of Darbar Sahib and other Gurdwara's. Because of this the British were able to put in power, people of their own choosing. During the times of Maharaaja Ranjeet Singh Jee, Akaal Takht Jathedar was Akaali Phoola Singh Jee, who was also Jathedar of Budha Dal and head granthi of Harimandir Sahib was Baba Sant Singh, Jathedar of Damdami Taksaal. for more info on the Sikhs fighting the British check out this article http://www.nihangsingh.org/blog/?p=200 -
Ah Singh that sucks, it was probably one of the best sites on Sikhi. Can you atleast leave it so that we can view your old posts, regardless if you update it or not ??. There's too much valuable info on there.

Akali Nihang Turban On Dsiplay At The British Museum
dsinghkhalsa replied to GSMANN's topic in WHAT'S HAPPENING?
Singho Here's a picture of a Nihang Singh who was a part of the British army, and has incorperated many Akaali emblems into his dastaar. Also he has medals of honour, so he must have been a very brave man. -
I would say you go to Rakba, Ludhiana and see the Jathedar of Budha Dal Jathedar Baba Joginder Singh Jee, go to Baba Bakala and see Jathedar of Tarna Dal Baba Makhan Singh Jee, go to Harian Vela in Hoshiarpur and see Jathedar Baba Nihaal Singh Jee. Bhai Sahib Bhai Jeevan Singh Jee lives in Amritsar near Darbar Sahib. Also you should check out Sur Singh and visit Baba Daya Singh Jee and Baba Avtaar Singh Jee Baba Bidhi Chand Dal.

Jathedar Baba Tarlok Singh Ji Akali Nihang
dsinghkhalsa replied to 1PanthKhalsa's topic in WHAT'S HAPPENING?
Waheguru Jee Ka Khalsa Waheguru Jee Kee Fateh Is the recording of Baba Jee's interview with Sikh channel on available on the net anywhere? -
WAHEGURU JEE KAA KHAALSA WAHEGURU JEE KEE FATEH In my personal opinion,go with Full Vail dastaar material,it's the best.Wash it a couple times,use fabric softner,then you will be able to tie a nice comfortable dastaar. I have some of that F-74 material,and it is way too soft for my liking.The laars just didn't come out right,and if you want to tie a decent size dumalla,then the F-74 material won't do the job,in my opinion,it my be good for small dumalla's I don't know though. Also Rubia material is good,but there is some material called Terry Rubia which is too silky,it can slip off your head too easily. As for size,for my dumalla I use a joora wala keski that is about 10-12 feet,then another keski that is about 20 feet,7 laars then the actual dumalla is about 30 feet (8 metres),and I get 10 laars. Hope that was of some help?? WAHEGURU JEE KAA KHAALSA WAHEGURU JEE KEE FATEH

I was checking out the Dasam Granth section,and I noticed in some of the Bani's the translation and the tranliteration are overlaping each other when used in the Powerpoint mode,so you can not make out what is written.Maybe my powerpoint settings are not correct??? any advice?.
