    A Sikh Without His Flowing Hair And Turban

    Yes I believe that the tenth Guru did have long hair and did sport the 5 kakaar but how come none of the other Gurus stressed the importance of unshorn hair in any way? I do not refute that they may have had unshorn hair but if they did I don't believe it was for any 'Godly' reason... otherwise...

    A Sikh Without His Flowing Hair And Turban

    Gyani Jarnail Singh Ji, you have misunderstood my point. My point is not that keeping your hair intact is juvenile. Nor is my point that following ones Guru is juvenile. My point is that claiming that the reason you should keep you hair intact is "because God gave you hair and cutting it...

    A Sikh Without His Flowing Hair And Turban

    Sat Sri Akal to all, Stating that the reason for keeping long hair is 'because God gave you hair' is juvinille. God also gave you many other body parts which you end up removing... as someone mentioned earlier your fingernails and toenails. God gave you those didn't He? Or was that some...

    Banda Bahadur = Guru Gobind Singh?

    I agree that it may be naive to state that the mughals never saw him but I was talking about the average mughal, not the elite few who may have stood face to face with Guru Ji. Secondly, I agree that what I have stated about this theory is not entirely (or at all) factual and that is why it is...

    Banda Bahadur = Guru Gobind Singh?

    JS Gyani, Respectfully, I feel it is quite unfair to classify this as a spin off of the namdharee theory. I am not a believer in the namdharee beliefs and to be concise, I do not 100%believe the banda=GGS theory either... but I do think it should be questioned and together maybe we can...

    Banda Bahadur = Guru Gobind Singh?

    I actually agree with you somewhat on this point and it is one of the reasons that I have never stated that this theory is fact. I don't know how the sikhs of the time would not recognize their Guru. As far as the Mughal gov't that was hunting the Guru, I'm not so sure that any of them had...

    Banda Bahadur = Guru Gobind Singh?

    There was a benefit. Primarily that Guru Ji could exact revenge. That is my whole point of why this 'crazy' theory makes some sense. I believe Sikhs of the time knew Guru Ji to be super-human. He was a king, he had a raj (kingdom). One day that raj was torn from him, along with everything...

    Banda Bahadur = Guru Gobind Singh?

    I realize there are many things about Banda that do not coincide with the way that Guru Ji lived his life but as I pointed out earlier there are definitely some striking similarities. As far as I am aware, while Banda was alive there was no division or rift among the Sikhs. There were not...

    Banda Bahadur = Guru Gobind Singh?

    I have heard talk of a theory presented some years ago that Banda Bahadur was actually Guru Gobind Singh Ji. I'm not sure of the name but there was a Sikh writer a few years ago who initially brought up this theory (If anyone knows his name, I would be very interested to know). At first, of...
