How do you know he did that. The Hindu texts are thousands of years old.. do you not think they’ve been twisted and changed over time?

 

The narration of his own previous Janam wasn’t made up, so why would he have made up the rest. 

Go to sikhawareness.com and go through all the recent threads covering Charitrio Pakyaan and see for yourself. 

 

Also, where did the moslem characters in Chandhee Ki vaar come from? They aren't in the original.  

 

Dasam bani isn't simple. It shouldn't be interpreted on surface literal levels. It's deep and complex on multiple dimensions.

Like carpenters had the God of woodworking.

I don't know too much about it, but the deity you are talking about, Vishkarma, wasn't the god of woodworking, he was like a god of design/engineering. My guess is that they was some sort of representation of Akal Purakh's designing, architectural creative power? Apparently (according to Indic mythology) he designed the universe, war chariots for devtay, created tools and weapons for devtay.

There are some Sikhs (even Amritdhari) that observe Vishwakarma Jayanti and do not use/give rest to the tools of their trade for the day. They won't open their workshops/gyms etc. I have always been confused by that and still don't know why they do so.

My cousin was a builder in the UK and he used to take a day off on Vishwakarma day     He said its bad luck for builders to work on that day lol! 

My Gujarati friend is from a carpenter caste and she worships Vishwakarma, she actually lays tools out and worships them.

Flags from Sikh empire

looks like Durga and surya 

l

 

whose that on the flag?

 

Some devi sitting on a peacock, and then the flag at the back looks like Varaha? but the feminine version ?

 

imo these flags look really cool ...

End of the day we are from the India, so obviously Sikhs were gnna use indian symbols/figures in art that were popular at that time. Devi/Devte are Indian culture used in literature, music, art, dance etc    Sikhs are Indians so used Indian images/symbols. Kali/Durga is the goddess of war so Sikhs used her image on flags and swords ...  

[puzzled]

Really cool image, its of Maharaja Sher Singh.   Look at their dastars, really long material at the back, while the Akalis are wearing the Dastar bunga.     And then there seems to be some sadhoos at the bottom looking at them passing.    Not a fat person in sight.     If you look carefully on the right side theres someone whose hanging by a rope!

I am not as educated as some of the folks on this forum. So, please excuse my lack of learning. I hope to learn from you.

In reference to image FJ8FJE above (some kind of yogi figure on harmandir sahib wall), it seems that the image may be that of Dushtdaman (the name of Guru Gobind Singh Ji from his past life).

Yea that is quite likely
