Infact it even states that he never got executed and used his magic to escape and live on. I will definatley post the quotes at some point in the very near futureMr. Singhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14729355421056809797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376853906677103068.post-9660040348492744472007-12-30T20:52:00.000+00:002007-12-30T20:52:00.000+00:00Please post the books viewpoint about Banda Singh ...Please post the books viewpoint about Banda Singh Bahadur. When I was younger he was always a controversial character with elder Sikhs, but when I read about him, he was an amazing Gursikh, however I think this book tells a different story about him!Conqueror of the worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00857705033964041803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376853906677103068.post-6282767074084037792007-12-30T20:16:00.000+00:002007-12-30T20:16:00.000+00:00Gurvinder, i completley agree with you that we sho...Gurvinder, i completley agree with you that we should place total faith in Gurbani. However i think theres a line in Gurbani which is translated as:<BR/><BR/>Telling the stories of one's ancestors make the children, good children. (Ang 951, SGGS)<BR/><BR/>So i think it is also important for us to educate ourselves on our history. But if the sources are as controversial as this one then its difficult to get a clear picture.Mr. Singhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14729355421056809797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376853906677103068.post-13304742147581296562007-12-30T17:56:00.000+00:002007-12-30T17:56:00.000+00:00I have never read Panth Parkash, but I do know tha...I have never read Panth Parkash, but I do know that it is dodgy in some areas. The quotes you have provided all seem to back up this viewpoint.<BR/><BR/>A lot of people tend to believe anything that is written in books, but we Sikhs should only ever believe in Guru Granth Sahib.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
