[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 126944, member: 35"] [COLOR=Blue] [B]For curious forum members there is a very good article on this question located at this link, where you will read that one possible answer to the question is Sant Ratnagar Rao [/B][/COLOR] [U]Link to article[/U] [COLOR=Blue][B] Here is the beginning of the article. The connection to the Kabir panth is explained.[/B][/COLOR] [B]Param Sant Tulsi Sahib (1763 - 1843) [/B] Tulsi's earlier name was Dakhani Baba, meaning, "Saint from the South." It occurs to me that the whole archetypal Prince Siddhartha-like story of Tulsi Sahib belonging to the royal lineage of the Peshwas, running away the day before what would have been his coronation, etc.... might simply be viewed as apocryphal accounts composed and believed by others decades or even centuries after-the-fact without necessarily there being any actual historically verifiable basis for such beliefs. The same can be said of a connection between Tulsi Sahib and a mythic character by the name of Ratnagar Rao, alleged to be a successor of Guru Gobind Singh.

[B] [COLOR=Blue]The connection is to Sant Mat and not to Sikhism. These kinds of discussions are brought to confuse people. Sant Mat is the spiritual tradition of the Roadhaswami who are not Sikhs and who held that Guru Gobind Singh did not die in 1708, but rather lived in the jungle for a long time. The thread is moved from Sikh Sikhi Sikhism as none of the issues here are per Gurmat. [/COLOR][/B] [/QUOTE]
