[QUOTE="Neutral Singh, post: 2109, member: 2"] Dear Amarjit Jee, In the book written by Dr Gopal Singh 'History of Sikh People' he expresses doubts whether Bala the said Hindu companion was with his all the time or not. From the literature the author- Dr Gopal Singh Jee -had studied he is convinced that Mardana was all the time was with him. I am in agreement with Dr Sahib, The basis of my indepentent, but identicla conclusion I give below. Enroute to cylone Guru Nanak Dev Jee had passed through Rameshwaram. Guru Sahib had stayed there for some time. This is a historic fact and is recorded in Govt. records. The Raja of that area had donated 22 acre of land to Guru Sahib close to temple. It is along the railway track between Pamban bridge and the temple ( this land has been handed over to Singh Sabha). Guru Sahib had stayed in a sarai there. Today, there is a Gurdwara there. When this Gurdwara was under construction, I had the chance to go there. In the extension to the sarai, on the stone wall I saw a carving. The central figure resembeled Guru Nanak. Only one individual was shown to be sitting by his side with Rabab. I take this to be Mardana. Which tells me that only mardana was with him on his travels to and from cylon and bala was not with him else he too would have appeared in the carving. This might have been the case for his other travels also, which Dr Sahib has detaied in his book. This is in resopnse to the sentance in your post that Bala and Mardana were with Guru Sahib. Amarjit Jee, I donot know what happened to Bala or Mardana after Siri Guru Nanak Dev Jee departed. Guru Nanak Dev Jee had been changing the type of his robe. He has worn almost all types of robe. Dress did not matter to him. So, I cannot say any thing on cap or turban. My suggestion is that let those who want to argue on the dress of Guru Sahib waste there energies, it is their prerogative. For us, what Guru Sahib said is important, spirituality is contained in his sayings, that is the real gift to us from Guru Sahib. With love and respect for all. Amarpal P.S. Even on rebirth, I do not spend much time thinking over it. If it is not there it is fine, if it is there I cannot change the law. What is most important that in this life we plant good roots. Discussions on rebirth are subjects of intellectual curiosity, the knowledge of it does not contribute to spirituality, towards which we all strive. [/QUOTE]
