intrigued

I think he wrote an article in one of the early Sikh newspapers that alluded to Guru Gobind Singh Ji escaping Abchal Nagar. I don't know if the article is still anywhere. Dr. Ganda Singh talks about it in his book along with other theories - https://archive.org/details/GuruGobindSinghsDeathAtNanded-AnExaminationOfSuccessionTheories-Dr.GandaSingh Great read

What if we made Guru Sahib the head of an empire

I know he's said some other controversial stuff but he always takes it with a grain of salt. An example of this would be of the article he wrote on what happened after the joti jot of Dasam Patshah but he says he's only heard from his father...

But in the end he knew it was Dasam Bani right?

No what I meant was that during colonial times, the brits banned long (proper size) kirpans cause they were scared. At least that's what i thought i was referring to lol

from his steek - http://discoversikhism.com/sikh_library/gurmukhi/nitnem_steek_bhai_vir_singh.html

No they didn't I'm pretty sure in Bhai Vir Singh's teeka he includes the extended version

Besides Guru Sahib lol

I've heard that as well...

Oops i don't even know what I was trying to say. I edited it. I was prob saying they are against the puratan sampardais and stuff. Sometimes I type faster than I think lol One thing's for sure they are definitely not puratan! ?

Perhaps not all the udasi saints have worn seli topi. What is more likely is that as time went on and udasis separated themselves from Sikhi, it became more common for them to wear the seli topi and adopt the garb of a sadhu. Those who followed the guru would have worn the dastaar We can see at what time udasis began separating from the panth by looking at literature and the paintings of different time periods. For example, this is a mural in Akal takht showing Siri Chand with matted hair and earrings: Any idea when this painting was created? Looks to me to be around 19 century art...

Sikh Missionaries nowadays have a negative connotation in the panth. They are not puratan and majority don't believe in simran. They do ninda of Dasam Bani and often are Abrahamisized.

ਦੁਖੁ ਦਾਰੂ ਸੁਖੁ ਰੋਗੁ ਭਇਆ ਜਾ ਸੁਖੁ ਤਾਮਿ ਨ ਹੋਈ ॥ dhukh dhaaroo sukh rog bhiaa jaa sukh taam na hoiee || Suffering is the medicine, and pleasure the disease, because where there is pleasure, there is no desire for God.

He has lots of nice art! He used to active on this forum and sikhawareness as well...

I agree but I dont think we are delusional for talking about it lol

In Many Lives Many Masters I think it talks about careers like that

Nice thread!
