No hukumnamas. Their history is easily available with a quick google search.

The puratan lineage before the 20th century is not traceable, but is probably either through direct or indirect learning through the mahapurukhs and hence the tradition that is still claimed.

Damdami taksal orginal name is Gyani samparda going back to baba deep singh ji time and bhai mani singh ji time..!!

Paira Singh Padam does not talk about damdami taksal being an samparda in his Sikh Sampardavli pustak nor bhai kahn singh nabha talks about damdami taksal being an samparda but gyani samparda's. Damdami taksal is just like rara sahib upsamparda of nirmale, most of previous jathedards such as sant bishan singh ji muralewale were consider nirmale and part of nihang misals.

Damdami taksal branch itself is consider cousin of Nirmale because of nirmale influences. Please read lifes of mahapursh in damdami taksal prior to 1900's such as sant sunder singh ji bhindranwale, sant bishan singh ji- they all had nirmale teachers all dressed in sadhu bana (white). They are deep rooted Nirmale order. Damdami taksal and Nirmale cross platform all the time thats how seamless their relationship is..great sants like sant bishan singh ji muralewale and sant sunder singh ji all had nirmale teachers. Sant bishan singh ji is even consider nirmala...all damdami taksal mahapursh have intertwined/cross platform relationship with nirmale except for sant kartar singh ji bhindranwale and sant jarnail singh ji bhindranwale as per according to time of dharam yudh morcha.

Nirmale order is as important as damdami taksal order(lineage). One comes from bhai dya singh ji and bhai dharam singh ji (two of panj pyres) and other- taksal comes from baba deep singh ji/bhai mani singh ji. They cross platform all the time, the relationship is quite seamless.

According to Taran Singh and Harbans Singh the two main branches of the Giani sampradaya are the one founded by Baba Deep Singh Ji, the Bhindranwale-Damdami Taksal and the Amristar branch founded by Bhai Mani Singh.

Sant mohan singh ji Bhindranwale Taksal of Sant Sundar Singh is still recognised as Nirmalas by the Nirmala sampradaya and still consider themselves as Nirmalas. The difference between both lineages is just according to times and need- Sant Mohan Singh Bhindranwale tries to perserve the scholarly tradition of Gyani samparda, but mehta by Sant Kartar Singh Bhindranwale of Damdami Taksal had to rightly and understandably had to pick up piri in dharam yudh morcha according to the times so rightly priority was speak against injustice so vidya aspect was slightly compromised..senior taksalis from mehta acknowledge this..!!

Regarding the Amritsar branch of the Giani sampradaya Taran Singh mentions masters such as Sant Kirpal Singh and Sant Amir Singh as being part of that lineage when in fact they were Sevapanthis so even gyani samparda have cross platform relations with nirmale and sevapanthis there were no issue before as relationship was seamless, its all inter connected- nirmale, sevapanthis, taksali were all inter-connected.

You are correct - my fault for not observing that. I have removed that link.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
