[QUOTE="Akashdeep Singh, post: 47730, member: 3640"] Dear Friends, I have converted to english some 45 points from the 100s of points that Prof. Inder Singh Ghagga have brought to the notice of the Khalsa. He has brought foreward many points, but I am first posting below the points he want us to know from the writings of Taksal. Following are some of the blunders in Taksal writings: - [LIST] [*]Giani Gurbachan Singh (Taksal leader) himself prefixed the following “alankaars” to his name : “Srimaan - Panth Ratan -Vidya Martand – Sant – Giani – Gurbachan Singh Ji.” [*]Taksal is emphasizing that Guru Nanak Dev ji is from Kush (Ram’s sons) dynasty. [*]Guru Angad Sahib ji is written to be from the dynasty of Lakshman’s son. [*]Guru Amardaas ji is told to be from the dynasty of Bharat. [*]Guru Ramdaas ji is written to be from the dynasty of lahoo. [*]Guru Har Rai ji got married 8 times. [*]Bhai Dya Singh (one of the panj pyare) was avatar (re-incarnation) of lahoo [*]Bhai Dharam Singh (one of the panj pyare) was avtar of Panna ji. [*]Bhai Himmat Singh (one of the panj pyare) was avtar of Chaturbhuji (four armed) [*]Bhai Mohkam Singh (one of the panj pyare) was avtar of Namdev ji [*]Bhai Sahib Singh (one of the panj pyare) was avtar of Sain ji [*]A lady with her “pati vrata shakti” (power gained by worshipping her husband) could travel for Kabul to Goindwal every morning and return back to Kabul every evening. With her same power she could move the cradle of her child in Kabul while she was in Goindwal. [*]Another lady with the same “pati vrata shakti” stopped the sun from rising and only released the sun when her husband was made alive by the gods again. [*]Satguru has restricted us from wearing red color clothes. [*]Taksal has written that “Mool mantar” is till “Nanak ho si bhi sach” whereas the truth is that “Mool mantar” is till “Gur parsad”. [*]Baba Sunder Singh’s father Khajan Singh used to read path standing on one foot so that he could get a son as a boon. [*]While the child is being born, the nurse (or “dai”) should only be a Sikh. Does not Taksal members and leaders go to hospitals? ... are all nurses Sikh there? [*]Baba Farid kept meditating in jungles for years and ate the leaves of trees. This is totally false, as I have read Baba Farid was against such acts. [*]Baba Farid kept hanging in a well for 13 years and kept meditating. [*]Guru Gobind Singh ji had a hidden book with them. (why would guru ji hide that from his Khalsa, I think this is being said so that these guys (taksal) can write their own book and later say they have found that hidden book). [*]Bhai Dya Singh, Dharam Singh , Bhai Himmat Singh, Bhai Mohkam Singh and Bhai Sahib Singh’s head was cut by Guru Gobind Singh ji and put as a giving in front of Guru Granth Sahib. Taksal mentions that this fact is written in hidden book of Guru Gobind Singh ji. (Excellent way to fool innocent people!). [*]Bhai Himmat Singh Ji ( one of panj pyare ) was cursed in his last birth. God had told him that in the form of 10th guru I will cut your head and release you. (This seems to be a story picked up from Hindu mythology) [*]When the heads of Panj Pyare were cut, amrit was sprinkled and new heads grew on their shoulders. (Notice the use of “grew”). [*]Guru ji gave “amrit” to 2 sparrows and those 2 sparrows died fighting with each other. Gurbaksh Singh named sikh ran to honorable mother and she put some patasey (sweets) into amrit only then the amrit became peaceful. (Think it over, the so called mythical man in Taksal writing ran to honorable mother. Does that mean had disbelief in Guru Gobind Singh ji, does this mean Guru ji made some blunder while preparing amrit??) [*]Panj pyare’s said to Guru Gobind Singh Ji, “Just like Ram Chander honored monkeys, you are honoring us”. ( are we monkeys now?? And that too panj pyare?? This is insult of each sikh) [*]If you recite Keertan Sohila before sleeping an iron fort will be build around you. (Think, if that is possible then we do not need to lock our houses). [*]Tobbacco has come into being due to the blood that oozed out of the feet of kaamdhenu Cow. (wow! It will take an idiot to believe this and they are trying to teach this to the Sikhs). [*]Khalsa should only wear blue, yellow, black or white, no other color. [*]Narad muni (from Hindu mythology) gifted Guru Gobind Singh ji with the feathers of a bird, that is why Guru Gobind Singh ji had so many powers. [*]When Dan Singh asked about long hair of Sikhs, Guru Gobind Singh ji replied that Sikhs have long hair so that they can be pulled out of hell by holding them with these long hair (what an insult of Sikh identity) [*]Women should not be involved in preparation of amrit. [*]Women should not perform Gidha in marriages. [*]The wife of King Hari Sen came to court in a viel, Guru asked, “who is this insane women?” The same time she became insane. (Think, will guru ji make any body insane?) [*]Bhai Heera Singh died while reciting Gurbani. Chariots (rath) from sky came to take him. ( I feel like laughing, seems like these people have watched Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan too much) [*]Kachchera (undergarment), comb etc. should be tied with a dead person. (Again!, a Hindu superstition). [*]Sikh priests should not eat garlic and onion. (What??) [*]Use desi ghee (oil made from butter) for jyot (candle) for paath and dhoop (fragrance stick) should always be burning. (Very soon, they will release the next version of it – keep everything in a plate and perform aarti of Guru Granth Sahib and put tilak on everyone’s forehead) [*]Also Taksal has mentioned the list of other such materials needed for paath.(Just like a pandit will give a long list of “pooja samgri”) [*]After bhog performing aarti is necessary. [*]Taksal writings mention, you cannot go in front of Guru Granth Sahib wearing pajamas, women should also follow the same rule. (Do you see any logic here??) [*]To give the proof that he is right guru, 10th guru recited Gurbani entirely from his memory so that people do not suspect him. (????) [*]Sikh Priest should kept “maun vrat”, should not court with his wife. If he suffers from night fall he should go to toiled and then wash his hair. (Oh god! What nonsense?). [*]Gifting coconut is equal to gifting a head. (well, then why “Sir dhar tali gali meri ayo”??? why not “Nariyal (coconut) dhar tali gali meri ayo” ????) [*]If paath is recited properly then the inside nut part of the coconut will become ashes. [*]Bhai Kahan Singh Nabha has written wrong by Raag Mala. (Dear readers let me inform you and even Giani Gurdit Singh ji rejects Raag Mala as authentic part of Gurbani and he has proved with facts that this has been added by some unauthorized person. Enthusiastic reader is encourage to search the internet for “Mundavani” and related spellings.)[/LIST]These are just a few points and there are various others that I have yet to translate. This is first draft of the translation written in one go under the effect of tiredness from work and sleep, therefore, pardon my mistakes. I will improve the translations as I get more time and go through revisions. Sat Shri Akaal, -Akashdeep. [/QUOTE]
