This is the original painting of Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji in Baghdad :

I see no coat and topi!

I can clearly see a dastar and full fledged beard. I believe this is a part of the whole painting which can be found in still in Baghdad and Sant Singh Maskeen Ji had seen it.

I think people need to be a little careful of making definitive comments about some internet posted image as authentic or not. Anyone remember the foolishness about the so called 'photo of M. ranjit Singh and Hari Singh Nalua'?

It needs to be looked into by people with the gian to make a judgment regarding authenticity.

See the last picture and try to read the caption:

However the script appears to be of Nastaliq Persian type and of a much later period than the 15th century.

i dont know too much about writing styles, but this are persian letters.

What is also interesting (for me) is that Bhai Mardana's rabab only has 4 strings whereas the Sikh Rabab, differed to other rababs by having 6. Should that mean anything?

There is some good reading material on that site.

I think the painting might be still original but the artist did not make it in presence of Guru Sahib.

Are you serious?

Does that caption constitute 'conclusive evidence' to you?

How old are you?

The style seems VERY modern to me. Renaissance or Post-renaissance, which was getting started around Baba Nanak's time in Italy.

I'm not saying that it is definitely this or that, but I do believe some reserve needs to be exercised by people for now.

And straight up - being an art expert is not amongst Sant Maskeen's many skills as far as I know. So quoting him as some evidence isn't on.

Whatever you believe sir!

    • 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.
