So this painting has been floating around for a while, even on the forum SikhAwareness. Jvala Singh also posted an updated stating that further research is needed, we 100% cannot confirm that this is Sri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib Ji Maharaj until the proper research is conducted (As explained below)

 

 

I think Jvala Singh should be careful posting these type of posts on twitter and academics should be reviewing the works of others and then putting their views across. Posting such pictures stating that two researchers of Indian miniature paintings both agree that this is likely a painting of the Guru could be viewed as at best naïve and self publicising or at worst mischief making.

Definitely. I've always thought the Mughals and the Sikhs (under Maharaja Ranjit Singh) should've been way more aware of this fact. Instead of wining and dining these Europeans under the guise of trading, etc., they should've sent their heads back to their home countries as a warning not to interfere in matters. That would've forced the Europeans' hand, and then when a hostile force would arrive by sea, the Easterners could've at least tried to destroy them before they set foot on Indian soil.

The Japanese did this and isolated themselves from the 16th to 19th century. They also killed Japanese Christians who had converted under the Jesuits priests. It was only in mid 19th century that the Western powers forced Japan to open up and trade with them and the Japanese protected themselves from colonialization by modernising their army and their industries.

What a star! Exactly what I had in mind when I made the post. Those Japs were something else.

they had the advantage of living on an island ?

the japanese were very fine people. Have u seen how dangerous katana is lol. But today their opulence is only a fraction of what once was, mostly due to the twin nuclear bombs US dropped on japan in WW2 , forever crushing their confidence from which I think the japanese have still not recovered. But Japanese had their own share of skeletons in closet, for instance massacre of chinese in Nanjing around 1937.

Yet any European arrivals into India would've still come by sea, therefore their attack would not be a secret, meaning preparations could be made on the Indian coastline to head off any sea-faring armada. 

they initially came off as submissive traders, whose only role was to make business. Hence Mughals had no issue with them. The merchant class was accompanied by christian figures , some of whom even tried to convert jahangir to christianity . One had apparently written something contemporary about the shaheedi of Guru Arjan dev ji.  So it all started with white merchants, hence it was "East India company" who first officially ruled over india

EDIT -- it were hindu dogras and britishers who colluded to overthrow our hard gained sikh empire . Gulab Singh dogra was given jammu kashmir kingdom by britishers for selling off Ranjit singh's raaj . Gulab singh dogra had looted sikh raaj treasure from lahore and brought it to his jammu kashmir. Ranjit Singh was the one who trusted gulab singh dogra who was his general and perhaps gulab singh dogar also helped expand the frontiers of sikh raaj. So ranjit singh gave him autonomy even. I wouldn't be surprised if it was at behest of such men as dogra that Ranjit singh gave huge gold donations to hindu temples. Today if you ask for autonomy in india, they give you bullets.

Should've done this to the "traders":

THIS IS PUNJAB!

    • lol dal panth Panj told me explicitly not to associate with Vadhbhag Singh Sodhi followers!
    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
