WELL SAID Tejwant Singh Ji. absolutely correct observation.
In a Gurdwara of Guru hargobind Ji..they have a pair of His shoes..which they Carry on their heads and chaur waved..just EXACTLY like they carry the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji...with chaur waved.
and the story attached..is utterly ridiculous too. It seems that Guru Ji was Riding a Horse while his devoted servant was walking BAREFOOT. Guru Ji saw the feet of his servant getting all bloodies up due to throns etc and gave him HIS OWN SHOES TO WEAR..but the SIKH refused and instead carried Guru Jis Shoes on his HEAD. The REFUSAL to listen to Guru Jis Command to wear the shoes and continue barefoot while carrying the shoes on head is the origin of this legend...and practise today in that Gurdawra...
Now to this Klagi...SO MUCH "mystery" surrounds it. First it was announced that its Maharaja Ranjit Singhs Klagi...then overnight story was amended that it is Guru Jis Klagi that was in posession of Maharja and paassed to the British when Dalhousie took away most of the maharjas Toshakhan items to England...and IT has been in the King Alberts Musueum all this while..BUT Last Yera Akal takaht jathdear JS VEDANTI, took along his ENTIRE FAMILY on an all expenses paid FREE TRIP (SGPC PAID) to CANADA..ostensibly to ..."looking for Guru jis Kalgi.." How this Klagi got out of the King Albert Musueum and went hopping to Canada is anybodys guess...anyway after a Good free Holiday, Vedanti and Family came back to Amrtisar emptyhanded...and the story died down...

Now so amny questions:
1. How did the British Authorites..the Museum give back this article..and to WHOM ?
2.Why no Offcial statement from the Buckingham Palace..Britsh Govt..Museum authorities
3. Why the LOCAL BRITISH SIKHS were kept OUT/in the DARK ?? NOT INVOLVED ??
4. WHY no important personality accompanied the kalgi..no one went to welcome it..at the airport..and ????
5. IF its Maharaja kalgi..why place it at Akal Takhat ?
IS this also going to be a huge MONEY MILKER like the Ganga sagar unveiled during the 400th anniversary....Who IDs it as Original..Guru Ji artifact...Just RECENTLY all the Hoo haa about guru Jis Armour etc was proved false..it wasnt Guru Jis at all...
Are the Authorities serious about propgating GURMATT and Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji as the ONE and ONLY KHAZANAH the GURUS left us in WIRASAT......instead of chasing these items ?? which provide avenues for just annhee shardha and matha teking..and NO GYAAN.
