This is said to be the most authentic painting of Guru Gobind Singh Ji. It’s said that Mai Bhago painted/commissioned this painting and it’s kept in the puratan saroop of Sri Sarbloh Granth at Sri Haz

Brits medaled so hard that they made Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj the Guru? Please provide that info. If we had a living Guru we would know lol. We can look at the tension between the Tat Khalsa a

5ft 8 or 5ft 9 is about right IMO. Not short short, but we aren't talking He-Man stature. But like you said, it's only apne who seem to want our Gurus to be 6ft 5, pale-skinned, hazel-eyed dazzlers.

Keep in mind, this is most likely a painting of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj, however, it's not really confirmed. As the post states, we can see Guru Ji's famous blue horse on the bottom right. We can also see a kalgi on the dastar. The two men seated are depicted way bigger, a website states that Hindu paintings usually have rulers  portrayed on a larger scale than their courtiers, as befits their royal stature.

Thing with most Indian paintings is they really don't give much of the facial features away, like in that painting everyone has pretty much got the same/similar face. But the description fits in with that i'v read about Guru Ji. Bhai Jaita/Jivan Singh describes Guru ji as being medium built, having a bright complexion which means fair skinned, Large eyes, and a sharp nose. Guru ji is depicted as the lightest one from all of them and of a medium built and with large big eyes in this painting as well, which matches the description given by Bhai Jivan Singh.

What about the Hazur Sahib painting? Its in one of the puratan Dasam Granths or Sarbloh Granths and the Singh showed us it and said its the original painting of Guru Sahib. The bog version you see hanging inside Hazur Sahib is a replica of the one of saw in one of the puratan birs shown to us.

Yeah, i'm not really sure. The artist obviously overdone some things, especially regarding the eyes. If this is Guru Sahib, they depict him fairly young as well with a short beard. There is also a common trend regarding hoop earrings in a lot of these puratan paintings, an obvious sign of royalty. This image supposedly takes place after the establishment of the Khalsa, however, it doesn't even look like any of the Singhs are there. Which is odd. Also displays a red dastar, and tilk. Then again, I could be wrong. Most of the guys at the bottom just look like Rajput warriors/royalty. 

 I have the Hazur Sahib painting hanging in my room. I personally believe that's an authentic depiction. Is there any more history regarding that image? I've been trying to find more info.

So the guru used to put vaishnav tilaks on face ?

Why shouldn't we apply U-shaped tilak too then ? also why not wear earrings (hindu tradition) ?

Why are you getting so excited, lol?

They also sacrificed their entire immediate family, from parents to offspring. Shall we do the same, too?

yes I am excited the separatist mentality was finally an artificial construct invented by tat khalsa and singh sabha movements , and that sikh gurus were more "hindu" than the modern day sikhs would like to admit. Finally the RSS/hindutva brigade was right in trying to bring sikhs to their senses of who we really are , a branch and not a tree.

Gurus wore prominent tilaks as u can see in the pic , and  perhaps also wore janeu. Who invented the modern day paintings of guru gobind singh ji ? must be some khalistani

It's a lot to process. I'm feeling light-headed all of a sudden. Don't trigger me! ?

      Who is Ragunath in gurbani

      By MokhamSingh · Posted

      Names of the creator that are used in Gurbani, were in existence before any Avtars etc… Raghu…means the the place where the Atma resides, where breathing takes place… Nath means…the master, the creator, etc…

      Sant Kartar Bhindrawale on Raags

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      Was listening to Sant Ji's katha on youtube.  Sant ji stated apart from the traditional raags, there is nothing wrong if Kirtan is sung in other NON - Raags set up by our Guru Ji's.  His example: Think of poison in a bowl.  Drinking the poison then blaming the bowl is silly. The poison is bad not the bowl. Likewise, we will never call a bowl Amrit once it contains Amrit init. Sameway it's not the raags being good / bad... it's WHAT we put into those raags. How many times Kirtan was sung but on a track of sum Bollywood tune? It is happening in Gurudwara by Raagis! Youtube also has Kaweshri jatha singing history of 1984, on Dr Dre's - Still Dre track.  Rap instrumental/ Bolly tunes stand neutral. We can either put bad things and sing with our own remixes and lyrics... or we can recreate to sing Shabads of Gurbabi, kirtan and Sikh Prachaar over them.

      Everything in Gurbani points us towards the Atma. Atma and Parmatma are the same… Atama and Parmatma is the source that creates and causes everything… What have the following items got in common? A fan. A television. A fridge. A radio. A computer..? These things are powered by electricity. Without electricity these things are lifeless. It’s the electricity that causes these things to function… Atma is the source of energy that allows everything to happen.    without Atma, we are lifeless… Call this Atama RAGUNATH…call this Atma by any other name…the fact remains that it’s the life force energy… Dieties also have the same Atma as humans, but they still part of the creation, and not the creator…
