    So Guru Sahib was unaware of the future propensities of Baba Banda Singh when they conferred the de facto leadership of the Panth upon him? I thought they were jaani-jaan?

    Guru Sahib knew someone would assassinate them they accepted hukam. Guru Ji knew that someone working at Anandpur would betray him and get his children and mother killed but he didn't change it he accepted hukam.

    I think our whole perspective of Banda Singh has been coloured by the contemporary sources we've been compelled to use for his history i.e. Persian. They are full of derogatory comments about him and Singhs in general. 

     

    Recently Balwant Singh Dhillon published English translations of contemporary Rajastani sources that were unknown to the panth before. These do not have all the derogatory comments. 

    I think he was a great leader and set the precedent  for taking on and defeating larger, better equipped moghul forces in full scale battles.  

    Can you provide the name of the text he translated.

    The below is from kamalroop Singhs article on the paintis akhari.

    A similar but much longer bani by Guru Nanak Dev Ji about the Gurmukhi 
    alphabet is called Paṭī Likhī meaning ‘Writing on the Slate’, and it is in the Adi Sri Guru 
    Granth Sahib Ji. In this composition the Guru states, ‘No accounting is due from the 
    Gurmukh who understands the riddle through these letters.’ This also shows the status these letters had for him and also proves he actually standardised the system of 
    Gurmukhi letters as we know it today

    Always heard it was guru angad

    I consider Khalsa panth as my Guru as well, so I believe the word of panth when they say that the bir is written by baba deep Singh ji.

    We shud not be asking for proof or evidence for every thing.

    Gobind gita is also mentioned in Sarbloh Granth Sahib.

     

    Well Khan Singh says it was written by a court poet which is possible. I feel we need to do more research on this and Sarbloh Granth

    If any poetic chhand of Gobind gita talks about casteism, it shud be seen as translation. Same as rass leela section in krishan avtar of Dasam Granth Sahib is seen as translation.

    Gobind gita is deep literature just as other compositions of Dasam Granth Sahib.

    It's an adaptation from krishan gita. It has 3 kind of baani

    1. Translation from krishan gita

    2. Translation with editions and changes by Guru Sahib

    3. Totally new baani of Guru Sahib.

    The below falls in 3rd category and clearly states that in sikhi there is no room for varna system.

    Any evidence that Guru Ji wrote Gobind Gita? I believe in all of Dasam Granth but for the removed banis I am skeptical. I know it is in some Dasam Granth Birs wrriten by Baba Deep Singh Ji but do we know definitively that he wrote those Birs and if yes what is the evidence? Do any historical texts mention it?

    Cow slaughter was banned under the Sikh empire, punishment for cow slaughter was death. 

    Could be wrong but i think Singhs who eat meat they don't eat beef. 

    Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindrawale said that they respect the cow as it gives them milk, butter, yogurt etc but they don't worship it because it's just a animal. Only God is to be worshipped. 

    After doing some research the ban on beef in the Sikh empire had nothing to do with the Sikh belief. It was to gain Hindu support in Kashmir.

    Because it is. But we acknowledge Ik Onkar, and the variety paths available that people walk to connect,  not with our God but The God. 

    It's not our fault we have been given the Truth on the Truth. 

    That is what some Christians say (atleast the Christians I know)
