Truth of Taj Mahal

Taj Mahal - Tomb is grave, not a building
----------------------------------------
The term Taj Mahal is a corrupt form of the sanskrit term TejoMahalay signifying a Shiva Temple. Agreshwar Mahadev i.e., The Lord of Agra was consecrated in it.The tradition of removing the shoes before climbing the marble platform originates from pre Shahjahan times when the Taj was a Shiva Temple. Had the Taj originated as a tomb, shoes need not have to be removed because shoes are a necessity in a cemetery.
A widespread misunderstanding has resulted in mistaking the building for the grave.Invading Islam raised graves in captured buildings in every country it overran. Therefore, hereafter people must learn not to confound the building with the grave mounds which are grafts in conquered buildings. This is true of the Tajmahal too. One may therefore admit (for arguments sake) that Mumtaz lies buried inside the Taj. But that should not be construed to mean that the Taj was raised over Mumtaz's grave.
The Taj is a seven storied building. Aurangzeb also mentions this in his letter to Shahjahan. The marble edifice comprises four stories including the lone, tall circular hall inside the top, and the lone chamber in the basement. In between are two floors each containing 12 to 15 palatial rooms. Below the marble plinth reaching down to the river at the rear are two more stories in red stone. They may be seen from the river bank. The seventh storey must be below the ground (river) level since every ancient Hindu building had a subterranian storey.
Immediately bellow the marble plinth on the river flank are 22 rooms in red stone with their ventilators all walled up by Shahjahan. Those rooms, made uninhibitably by Shahjahan, are kept locked by Archealogy Department of India. The lay visitor is kept in the dark about them. Those 22 rooms still bear ancient Hindu paint on their walls and ceilings. On their side is a nearly 33 feet long corridor. There are two door frames one at either end ofthe corridor. But those doors are intriguingly sealed with brick and lime.
Apparently those doorways originally sealed by Shahjahan have been since unsealed and again walled up several times. In 1934 a resident of Delhi took a peep inside from an opening in the upper part of the doorway. To his dismay he saw huge hall inside. It contained many statues huddled around a central beheaded image of Lord Shiva. It could be that, in there, are Sanskrit inscriptions too. All the seven stories of the Tajmahal need to be unsealed and scoured to ascertain what evidence they may be hiding in the form of Hindu images, Sanskrit inscriptions, scriptures, coins and utensils.
Apart from Hindu images hidden in the sealed stories it is also learnt that Hindu images are also stored in the massive walls of the Taj. Between 1959 and 1962 when Mr. S.R. Rao was the Archealogical Superintendent in Agra, he happened to notice a deep and wide crack in the wall of the central octagonal chamber of the Taj. When a part of the wall was dismantled to study the crack out popped two or three marble images. The matter was hushed up and the images were reburied where they had been embedded at Shahjahan's behest. Confirmation of this has been obtained from several sources. It was only when I began my investigation into the antecedents of the Taj I came across the above information which had remained a forgotten secret. What better proof is needed of the Temple origin of the Tajmahal? Its walls and sealed chambers still hide in Hindu idols that were consecrated in it before Shahjahan's seizure of the Taj.

'ताजमहल' वास्तु मुसलमानोंकी नहीं, अपितु वह मूलतः हिंदुओंकी है । वहां इससे पूर्र्व भगवान शिवजीका मंदिर था, यह इतिहास सूर्यप्रकाशके जितना ही स्पष्ट है । मुसलमानोंने इस वास्तुको ताजमहल बनाया । ताजमहल इससे पूर्र्व शिवालय होनेका प्रमाण पुरातत्व विभागके अधिकारी, अन्य पुरातत्वतज्ञ, इतिहासके अभ्यासक तथा देशविदेशके तज्ञ बताते हैं । मुसलमान आक्रमणकारियोंकी दैनिकीमें (डायरी) भी उन्होंने कहा है कि ताजमहल हिंदुओंकी वास्तु है । तब भी मुसलमान इस वास्तुपर अपना अधिकार जताते हैं । शिवालयके विषयमें सरकारके पास सैकडों प्रमाण धूल खाते पडे हैं । सरकार इसपर कुछ नहीं करेगी । इसलिए अब अपनी हथियाई गई वास्तु वापस प्राप्त करने हेतु यथाशक्ति प्रयास करना ही हिंदुओंका धर्मकर्तव्य है । ऐसी वास्तुएं वापस प्राप्त करने हेतु एवं हिंदुओंकी वास्तुओंकी रक्षाके लिए ‘हिंदु राष्ट्र’ अनिवार्य है !

मुसलमान आक्रमणकारियोंने भारतके केवल गांव एवं नगरोंके ही नामोंमें परिवर्तन नहीं किया, अपितु वहांकी विशाल वास्तुओंको नियंत्रणमें लेकर एवं उसमें मनचाहा परिवर्तन कर निस्संकोच रूपसे मुसलमानोंके नाम दिए । मूलतः मुसलमानोंको इतनी विशाल एवं सुंदर वास्तु बनानेका ज्ञान ही नहीं था । परंतु हिंदुओंने इस्लाम पंथकी स्थापनासे पूर्व ही अजिंटा तथा वेरूलके साथ अनेक विशाल मंदिरोंका निर्माणकार्य किया था । मुसलमान आक्रमणकारियोंको केवल भारतकी वास्तुकलाके सुंदर नमुने उद्ध्वस्त करना इतना ही ज्ञात था । गजनीद्वारा अनेक बार उद्ध्वस्त श्री सोमनाथ मंदिरसे लेकर तो आजकलमें अफगानिणस्तानमें उद्ध्वस्त बामयानकी विशाल बुद्धमूर्तितकका इतिहास मुसलमान आक्रमणकारियोंकी विध्वंसक मानसिकताके प्रमाण है ।

अंग्रेज सरकारद्वारा भी निश्चित रूपसे विध्वंस !

मुसलमान आक्रमणकर्ताओेंके पश्चात आए अंग्रेज सरकारको भारतीय संस्कृतिके विषयमें तनिक भी प्रेम न रहनेके कारण उन्होंने मुसलमान आक्रमणकर्ताओंका ही अनुकरण किया ।

आक्रमणकर्ताओंकी दैनिकीमें ताजमहलके विषयमें सत्य !

आग्राकी ताजमहल वास्तुकी भी कहानी इसी प्रकारकी है । डॉ. राधेश्याम ब्रह्मचारीने ताजमहलका तथाकथित निर्माता शहाजहानके ही कार्यकालमें लिखे गए दस्तावेजोंका संदर्भ लेकर ताजमहलका इतिहास तपासकर देखा है । अकबरके समान शहाजहानने भी बादशहानामा ऐतिहासिक अभिलेखमें अपना चरित्र एवं कार्यकालका इतिहास लिखकर रखा था । अब्दुल हमीद लाहोरीने अरेबिक भाषामें बादशहानामा लिखा था, जो एशियाटिक सोसायटी ऑफ बेंगाल ग्रंथालयमें आज भीr उपलब्ध है । इस बादशहानामाके पृष्ठ क्रमांक ४०२ एवं ४०३ के भागमें ताजमहल वास्तुका इतिहास छिपा हुआ है । इस भागका स्वच्छंद भाषांतर आगे दिया है ।
'शुक्रवार दिनांक १५ माह जमदिउलवलको शहाजहानकी पत्नी मुमताजुल जामानिका पार्थिव बुरहानपुरसे आग्रामें (उस समयका अकबराबाद) लाया गया । यहांके राजा मानसिंहके महलके रूपमें पहचाने जानेवाले अट्टालिकामें गाडा गया । यह अट्टालिका राजा मानसिंहके नाती राजा जयसिंहके मालिकीकी थी । उन्होंने यह अट्टालिका शहाजहानको देना स्वीकार किया । इसके स्थानपर राजा जयसिंहको शरीफाबादकी जहागिरी दी गई । यहां गाडे गए महारानीका विश्वको दर्शन न होने हेतु इस भवनका रूपांतर दर्गामें किया गया ।

मुमताजुुलकी मृत्यु !

शहाजहानकी पत्नीका मूल नाम था अर्जुमंद बानू । वह १८ वर्षोंतक शहाजहानकी रानी थी । इस कालावधिमें उसे १४ अपत्य हुए । बरहानपुरमें अंतिम जजगीमें उसकी मृत्यु हो गई । उसका शव वहींपर अस्थायी रूपसे गाडा गया ।

ताजमहल शिवालय होनेका सरकारी प्रमाण !

ताजमहलसे ४ कि.मी. दूरीपर आग्रा नगरमें बटेश्वर नामक बस्ती थी । वर्ष १९०० में पुरातन सर्वेक्षण विभागके संचालक जनरल कनिंघमद्वारा किए गए उत्खननमें वहां संस्कृतमें ३४ श्लोकमें मुंज बटेश्वर आदेश नामक पोथा पाया गया, जो लक्ष्मणपुरीके संग्रहालयमें संरक्षित है । इसमें श्लोक क्रमांक २५, २६ एवं ३६ महत्त्वपूर्ण हैं । इनका स्वच्छंद भाषांतर आगे दिया है ।
'राजाने एक संगमरवरी मंदिरका निर्माणकार्य किया । यह भगवान विष्णुका है । राजाने दूसरा शिवका संगमरवरी मंदिरका निर्माण कार्य किया । ' यह अभिलेख विक्रम संवत १२१२ माह आश्विन शुद्ध पंचमी, शुक्रवारको लिखा गया । (वर्तमान समयमें विक्रम संवत २०७० चालू है । अर्थात शिवालयका निर्माणकार्य कर लगभग ८५० वर्षोंकी कालावधि बीत गई है ।) (यह कालावधि लेख लिखनेके समयका अर्थात वर्ष १९०० के संदर्भके अनुसार है – संपादक, दैनिक सनातन प्रभात )

शिवालयके प्रमाणको पुरातत्व शास्त्रज्ञोंका समर्थन !

१. प्रख्यात पुरातत्वशास्त्रज्ञ डी.जे. कालेने भी उपरोक्त दस्तावेजको समर्थन दिया है । उनके संशोधनके अनुसार राजा परमार्दीदेवने २ विशाल संगमरवरी मंदिरोंका निर्माणकार्य किया, जिसमें एक श्रीविष्णुका तो दूसरा भगवान शिवजीका था । कुछ समय पश्चात मुसलमान आक्रमणकर्ताओंने इन मंदिरोंका पावित्र्य भंग किया । इस घटनासे भयभीत होकर एक व्यक्तिने दस्तावेजको भूमिमें गाडकर रखा होगा । मंदिरोंकी पवित्रताका भंग होनेके कारण उनका धार्मिक उपयोग बंद हो गया । इसीलिए बादशहानामाके लेखक अब्दुल हमीद लाहोरीने मंदिरके स्थानपर महल ऐसा उल्लेख किया होगा ।
२. प्रसिद्ध इतिहासकार आर.सी. मुजुमदारके अनुसार चंद्रात्रेय (चंदेल) राजा परमार्दिदेवका दूसरा नाम था परमल एवं उसके राज्यका नाम था बुंदेलखंड । आज आग्रामें दो संगमरवरी प्रासाद हैं, जिसमें एक नूरजहांके पिताकी समाधि (श्रीविष्णु मंदिर) है एवं दूसरा (शिवमंदिर) ताजमहल है ।

ताजमहल हिंदुओंका शिवालय होनेके और भी स्पष्ट प्रमाण !

प्रसिद्ध इतिहासकार आर.सी. मुजुमदारके मतका समर्थन करनेवाले प्रमाण आगे दिए हैं ।
१. ताजमहलके प्रमुख गुंबजके कलशपर त्रिशूल है, जो शिवशस्त्रके रूपमें प्रचलित है ।
२. मुख्य गुंबजके उपरके छतपर एक संकल लटक रही है । वर्तमानमें इस संकलका कोई उपयोग नहीं होता; परंतु मुसलमानोंके आक्रमणसे पूर्व इस संकलको एक पात्र लगाया जाता था, जिसके माध्यमसे शिवलिंगपर अभिषेक होता था ।
३. अंदर ही २ मंजिलका ताजमहल है । वास्तव समाधि एवं रिक्त समाधि नीचेकी मंजिलपर है, जबकि २ रिक्त कबरें प्रथम मंजिलपर हैं । २ मंजिलवाले शिवालय उज्जैन एवं अन्य स्थानपर भी पाए जाते हैं ।
४. मुसलमानोंकी किसी भी वास्तुमें परिक्रमा मार्ग नहीं रहता; परंतु ताजमहलमें परिक्रमा मार्ग उपलब्ध है ।

वैदिक पद्धतीका वास्तुनिर्माण ५. फ्रांस देशीय प्रवासी तावेर्नियारने लिखकर रखा है कि इस मंदिरके परिसरमें बाजार भरता था । ऐसी प्रथा केवल हिंदु मंदिरोंमें ही पाई जाती है । मुसलमानोंके प्रार्थनास्थलोंमें ऐसे बाजार नहीं भरते ।

ताजमहल शिवालय होनेकी बात आधुनिक वैज्ञानिक प्रयोगद्वारा भी सिद्ध

वर्ष १९७३ में न्यूयार्कके प्रैट संस्थाके प्राध्यापक मर्विन मिल्सद्वारा ताजमहलके दक्षिणमें स्थित लकडीके दरवाजेका एक टुकडा अमेरिकामें ले जाया गया । उसे ब्रुकलिन महाविद्यालयके संचालक डॉ. विलियम्सको देकर उस टुकडेकी आयु कार्बन-१४ प्रयोग पद्धतिसे सिद्ध करनेको कहा गया । उस समय वह लकडा ६१० वर्ष (अल्प-अधिक ३९ वर्ष) आयुका निष्पन्न हुआ । इस प्रकारसे ताजमहल वास्तु शहाजहानसे पूर्व कितने वर्षोंसे अस्तित्वमें थी यह सिद्ध होता है ।

शिवालय (अर्थात तेजोमहालय) ८४८ वर्ष पुराना !

यहांके मंदिरमें स्थित शिवलिंगको 'तेजोलिंग' एवं मंदिरको तेजोमहालय कहा जाता था । यह भगवान शिवका मंदिर अग्रेश्वर नामसे प्रसिद्ध था । इससे ही इस नगरको आग्रा नाम पडा । मुंज बटेश्वर आदेशके अनुसार यह मंदिर ८४८ वर्ष पुराना है । इसका ३५० वां स्मृतिदिन मनाना अत्यंत हास्यजनक है ।

BBC says about Taj Mahal—Hidden Truth – Never say it is a Tomb

No one has ever challenged it except Prof. P. N. Oak, who believes the whole world has been duped. In his book Taj Mahal: The True Story, Oak says the Taj Mahal is not Queen Mumtaz’s tomb but an ancient Hindu temple palace of Lord Shiva (then known as Tejo Mahalaya ) . In the course of his research Oak discovered that the Shiva temple palace was usurped by Shah Jahan from then Maharaja of Jaipur, Jai Singh. In his own court chronicle, Badshahnama,Shah Jahan admits that an exceptionally beautiful grand mansion in Agra was taken from Jai SIngh for Mumtaz’s burial . The ex-Maharaja of Jaipur still retains in his secret collection two orders from Shah Jahan for surrendering the Taj building. Using captured temples and mansions, as a burial place for dead courtiers and royalty was a common practice among Muslim rulers.

For example, Humayun,Akbar, Etmud-ud-Daula and Safdarjung are all buried in such mansions. Oak’s inquiries began with the name of Taj Mahal. He says the term ” Mahal ” has never been used for a building in any Muslim countries from Afghanisthan to Algeria. “The unusual explanation that the term Taj Mahal derives from Mumtaz Mahal was illogical in atleast two respects.

Firstly, her name was never Mumtaz Mahal but Mumtaz-ul-Zamani,” he writes. Secondly, one cannot omit the first three letters ‘Mum’ from a woman’s name to derive the remainder as the name for the building.”Taj Mahal, he claims, is a corrupt version of Tejo Mahalaya, or Lord Shiva’s Palace . Oak also says the love story of Mumtaz and Shah Jahan is a fairy tale created
by court sycophants, blundering historians and sloppy archaeologists . Not a single royal chronicle of Shah Jahan’s time corroborates the love story.

The OM in the flowers on the walls
Furthermore, Oak cites several documents suggesting the Taj Mahal predates Shah Jahan’s era, and was a temple dedicated to Shiva, worshipped by Rajputs of Agra city. For example, Prof. Marvin Miller of New York took a few samples from the riverside doorway of the Taj. Carbon dating tests revealed that the door was 300 years older than Shah Jahan. European traveler Johan Albert Mandelslo,who visited Agra in 1638 (only seven years after Mumtaz’s death), describes the life of the cit y in his memoirs. But he makes no reference to the Taj Mahal being built. The writings of Peter Mundy, an English visitor to Agra within a year of Mumtaz’s death, also suggest the Taj was a noteworthy building well before Shah Jahan’s time
Prof. Oak points out a number of design and architectural inconsistencies that support the belief of the Taj Mahal being a typical Hindu temple rather than a mausoleum. Many rooms in the Taj ! Mahal have remained sealed since Shah Jahan’s time and are still inaccessible to the public. Oak
asserts they contain a headless statue of Lord Shiva and other objects commonly used for worship rituals in Hindu temples . Fearing political backlash, Indira Gandhi’s government tried to have Prof. Oak’s book withdrawn from the bookstores, and threatened the Indian publisher of the first edition dire consequences . There is only one way to discredit or validate Oak’s research.

Taj Mahal (From Sanskrit: Tejo Mahalay), Teja (Jats'1 name of Shiva is Tejaji) + Mahalay (mansion) is a Temple Palace of Lord Shiva. #DECODING #HINDUISM

Shiva Linga In Mecca, OM Is 786?

Historical Account

The Agra city, in which the Taj Mahal is located, is an ancient center of Shiva worship. Its orthodox residents have through ages continued the tradition of worshiping at five Shivashrines before taking the last meal every night especially during the month of Shravan.

During the last few centuries the residents of Agra had to be content with worshiping at only four prominent Shiva temples viz.,Balkeshwar, Prithvinath, Manakameshwar and Rajarajeshwar. They had lost track of the fifth Shiva deity which their forefathers worshiped. Apparently the fifth was Agreshwar Mahadev Nagnatheshwar i.e., The Lord Great God of Agra, The Deity of the King of Cobras, consecrated in the Tejo Mahalay (Taj Mahal).

The famous Hindu treatise on architecture titled Vishwakarma Vastushastra mentions the 'Tej-Linga' amongst the Shivalingasi.e., the stone emblems of Lord Shiva, the Hindu deity. Such a Tej Linga was consecrated in the Taj Mahal, hence the term Taj Mahal alias Tejo Mahalay. The other name of the emblem was Agreswar Mahadev and it is important to note that from the wordAgreswar, the name of the city of Agra has been derived.

A locality in, nearly 4 km away from Taj Mahal, is called Bateswar and in 1900 A.D., General Cuningham, the then Director of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), conducted an excavation at Bateswar and discovered an edict, now known as the Munj Bateswar Edict and kept at the Lucknow Museum. The epigraph contains 34 verses written in Sanskrit, out of which 25^th, 26^thand 34^th verses are important in the present context. An English translation of the above verses reads:

“He built a marble temple which is the abode of Lord Vishnu and the King bows down to touch His feet” (25).

“The King has built another marble temple which has been dedicated to the Lord Who has the moon as His ornament on His forehead” (26).

“Today, the 5th day of the bright half in the month of Ashwin, the Sunday, in the year 1212 of the Vikram Samvat, the edict is being laid” (34).

Mr. D. J. Kale, a well known archaeologist, has mentioned the said Munj Bateswar Edict in his celebrated work Epigraphica India. On page 124 of the said book, Mr. Kale writes,

“The sais Munj Bateswar Edict was laid by King Paramardidev of the Chandratreya dynasty on Sukla Panchami in the month of Ashwin, in the year 1212 Vikram Samvat (or A.D. 1156). … King Paramardidev built two magnificent temples with white marble, one for Lords Vishnu and the other for Lord Shiva and they were desecrated later on by the Muslim invaders. Perhaps a farsighted man took the edict to a safer place at Bateswar abd buries it beneath the ground”.

Perhaps, after the said desecration, the temples were no longer used as religious places and due to this reason Abdul Hamid Lahori mentioned them as palaces, not as temples.

According to the renowned historian Mr. R. C. Majumdar, the other name of the Chandratreya or Chandel King Paramardidev was Paramal and their kingdsom was known asBundelkhand, a.k.a. Jejakabhukti².

Today, there are two marble palaces in Agra, one is the Mausoleum of Idmat-ud-Daula, the father of Noorjahan and the other is Taj Mahal, and it is evident from the Munj Bateswar edict that, once upon a time, one of them was the temple of Lord Vishnu and the other was a temple of Lord Shiva. Experts believe that it is the temple of Vishnu that has been made the mausoleum of Idmat-ud-Daula, and the temple of Shiva has been converted into the mausoleum of the queen Arjumand Banu. A few evidences in favour of this conclusion are given below.

Bharatvarsha , as explained in the Purans included the areas now we call as Australia,Egypt, Europe apart from Africa,present Confederation of Russia.

Please read my posts on this subject under Hinduism.

When compared to Hinduism, Christianity And Islam are of recent origin.

It is a known fact that Muslims plundered the kingdoms they have conquered and carted away valuables, including Idols , calling the Idol worshippers as ‘kafirs’

I am reproducing some photographic evidence.

The joke is that both Islam and Christianity which mock at Hinduism for worshipping  Gods as Idols iin the for of Man ans animal(Hanumn,Varaha, Narasimha0 have now ended up prayinga Stone(kaaba) and Symbol for addition, The Cross!

Now there is evidence that the Muslims carted a Shiva linga and had it installed it in Meccaand it is worshipped.

Shiv Linga in Mecca.

As in the headquarters of Christianity (namely the Vatican in Rome) at the headquarters of Islam too (namely in the Kaaba temple in Mecca city of Saudi Arabia) the ancient Hindu Shiva Linga may still be seen. This cylindrical stone, rendered immovable for security by being fixed in the outer corner of a wall, is the object of reverence of all Muslims. Here Muslims still continue the seven perambulations in the age old Hindu style except that they move anti-clockwise. White silver foil shrouds the stone. The oval uncovered central portion gives the pilgrims an idea of how the stone looks. Syrians had once carried away the stone as a war trophy and kept it for 22 years.

“The King Vikramaditya inscription was found on a gold dish hung inside the Kaaba shrine in Mecca, proving beyond doubt that the Arabian Peninsula formed a part of his Indian Empire. (Ref: page 315 of a volume known as ‘Sayar-ul-Okul’ treasured in the Makhtab-e-Sultania library in Istanbul, Turkey). King Vikrama’s preachers had succeeded in spreading the Vedic Hindu sacred scriptures in Arabia and Arabs were once followers of the Indian Vedic way of life. The annual fair known as OKAJ which used to be held every year around the Kaaba temple in Mecca and the present annual hajj of the Muslims to the Kaaba is of earlier pre-Islamic congregation. . Even to this day ancient Siva emblems can be seen. It is the Shankara (Siva) stone that Muslim pilgrims reverently touch and kiss in the Kaaba.

The Kaaba has 360 idols. Traditional accounts mention that one of the deities among the 360 destroyed when the place was stormed was that of Saturn; another was of the Moon and yet another was one called Allah. That shows that in the Kaaba the Arabs worshipped the nine planets in pre-Islamic days. In India the practice of ‘Navagraha’ puja, that is worship of the nine planets, is still in vogue. Two of these nine are Saturn and Moon. In India the crescent moon is always painted across the forehead of the Siva symbol. Since that symbol was associated with the Siva emblem in Kaaba it came to be grafted on the flag of Islam.

The Hindu Vedic letter in Sanskrit “OM” if seen in a mirror one can see the Arabic numbers 786 and this is the most sacred number for Muslims and copies of the Arabic Koran have the mysterious figure 786 imprinted on them. In their ignorance simply they do not realize that this special number is nothing more than the holiest of Vedic symbols misread and none of the Arabic scholar has been able to determine how they chose 786 as the sacred for them. In short muslims are also going around Siva Lingam at Kaaba, seven times asHindus go around it seven times.

A few miles away from Mecca are a big signboard which bars the entry of any non-Muslim into the area. This is a reminder of the days when the Kaaba was stormed and captured solely for the newly established faith of Islam. The object in barring entry of non-Muslims was obviously to prevent its recapture. Kaaba is clothed in a black shroud. This custom also originated from the days when it was thought necessary to discourage its recapture by camouflaging it.

Another Hindu tradition associated with the Kaaba is that of the sacred stream Ganga (sacred waters of the Ganges river). According to the Hindu tradition Ganga is also inseparable from the Shiva emblem as the crescent moon. Wherever there is a Siva emblem, Ganga must co-exist. True to that association a sacred fount exists near the Kaaba. Its water is held sacred because it has been traditionally regarded as Ganga sincepre-Islamic times (Zam-Zam water).

The seizure from the Maharaja of Jaipur

The Muslims started their rule over India in 712 A.D. with the invasion of Mohammed Qasem. During their rule they looted and destroyed hundreds of thousands of Hindu temples. Aurangzeb himself destroyed 10,000 Hindu temples during his reign! Some of the larger temples were converted into mosques or other Islamic structures. Ram Janmbhoomi (at Ayodhya) and Mathura Krishna Temple (at Mathura) are just two examples. The most evident of such structures is Taj Mahal.

The Badshahnama — Documentary evidence from Mogul records showing clearly how the Taj was acquired from Raja Mansingh

Aurangzeb's Letter: Aurangzeb writing to his father Shahjahan within years of completion as to extensive repairs required to the Taj.

An English translation of the contents from line 21 of page 402 to line 41 on page 403 of Badshahnama is given below.

“Friday, 15th Jamadiulawal, the sacred dead body of the traveller to the kingdom of holiness Hazrat Mumtazul Zamani, who was temporarily buried, was brought, accompanied by Prince Mohammad Shah, Suja bahadur, Wazir Khan and Satiunnesa Khanam, who knew the pemperament of the deceased intimately and was well versed in view of that Queen of the Queens used to hold, was brought to the capital Akbarabad (Agra) and an order was issued that very day coins be distributed among the beggers and fakirs. The site covered with a majestic garden, to ther south of the great city (of Agra) and amidst which the building known as the palace of Raja Man Singh, at present owned by Raja Jai asingh, grandson of Man Singh, was selected for the burial of the Queen, whose abode is in heaven. Although Raja Jai Singh valued it greatly as his ancestral heritage and property, yet he agreed to part with it gratis for Emperor Shahjahan, still out of sheer scrupulousness and religious sanctity, he (Jai Singh) was granted Sharifabad in exchange of that grand palace (Ali Manzil). After the arrival of the deadbody in that great city (of Agra), next year that illustrious body of the Queen was laid to rest and the officials of the capital, according to royal order, hid the body of that pious lady from the eyes of the world and the palace so majestic (imarat-e-alishan) and capped with a dome (wa gumbaje) was turned into a sky-high lofty mausoleum”.

Aurangzeb's letter to his father, emperor Shah Jahan, is recorded in at least three chronicles titled Aadaab-e-Alamgiri,Yadgarnama, and the Muruqqa-i-Akbarabadi (edited by Said Ahmed, Agra, 1931, page 43, footnote 2). In that letter Aurangzeb records in 1652 A.D itself that the several buildings in the fancied burial place of Mumtaz were seven storeyed and were so old that they were all leaking, while the dome had developed a crack on the northern side. Aurangzeb, therefore, ordered immediate repairs to the buildings at his own expense while recommending to the emperor that more elaborate repairs be carried out later. This is the proof that during Shah Jahan's reign itself that the Taj complex was so old as to need immediate repairs.

Shah Jahan then remodeled the palace into his wife's memorial. The use of captured temples and mansions as a burial place for dead courtiers and royalty was a common practice among Muslim rulers. For example, Hamayun, Akbar, Etmud-ud-Daula and Safdarjung are all buried in such mansions. Many rooms in the Taj Mahal have remained sealed since Shah Jahan's time, and are still inaccessible to the public.

The Rajasthan State archives at Bikaner preserve three other firmans addressed by Shah Jahan to the Jaipur's ruler Jaising ordering the latter to supply marble (for Mumtaz's grave and koranic grafts) from his Makranna quarris, and stone cutters. Jaisingh was apparently so enraged at the blatant seizure of the Tajmahal that he refused to oblige Shah Jahan by providing marble for grafting koranic engravings and fake centotaphs for further desecration of the Tajmahal. Jaising looked at Shah Jahan's demand for marble and stone cutters, as an insult added to injury. Therefore, he refused to send any marble and instead detained the stone cutters in his protective custody.

The ex-Maharaja of Jaipur retains in his secret personal ‘KapadDwara’ collection two orders from Shahjahan dated Dec 18, 1633 (bearing modern nos. R.176 and 177) requestioning the Taj building complex. That was so blatant a usurpation that the then ruler of Jaipur was ashamed to make the document public.

Bernier, a contemporary French visitor has noted that non-muslim's were barred entry into the basement (at the time when Shah Jahan requisitioned Mansingh's palace) which contained a dazzling light. Obviously, he reffered to the silver doors, gold railing, the gem studded lattice and strings of pearl hanging over Shiva's idol. Shah Jahan comandeered the building to grab all the wealth, making Mumtaz's death a convineant pretext.

Disfiguring and Tampering by Shah Jahan

Far from the building of the Taj, Shah Jahan disfigured it with black koranic lettering and heavily robbed it of its Sanskrit inscription, several idols and two huge stone elephants extending their trunks in a welcome arch over the gateway where visitors these days buy entry tickets.

Tavernier, a French jeweller has recorded in his travel memoirs that Shah Jahan purposely buried Mumtaz near the Taz-i-Makan (i.e.,"The Taj building") where foreigners used to come as they do even today so that the world may admire. He also adds that the cost of the scaffold-ing was more than that of the entire work. The work that Shah Jahan commissioned in the Tejomahalaya Shiva temple was plundering at the costly fixtures inside it, uprooting the Shiva idols, planting the centotaphs in their place on two stories, inscribing the koran along the arches and walling up six of the seven stories of the Taj. It was this plunder, desecrating and plunderring of the rooms which took 22 years.

A clue to the tampering by Shahjahan is found on pages 216-217, vol. 4, of Archealogiical Survey of India Reports (published 1874) stating that a "great square black balistic pillar which, with the base and capital of another pillar….now in the grounds of Agra,…it is well known, once stood in the garden of Taj Mahal".

An Englishman, Thomas Twinning, records (pg. 191 of his book "Travels in India - A Hundred Years ago") that in November 1794

"I arrived at the high walls which enclose the Taje-Mahal and its circumjacent buildings. I here got out of the palanquine and … mounted a short flight of steps leading to a beautiful portal which formed the centre of this side of the "Court of the Elephants" as the great area was called."

The Taj Mahal is scrawled over with 14 chapters of the Koran but nowhere is there even the slightest or the remotest allusion in that Islamic overwriting to Shah Jahan's authorship of the Taj. Had Shah Jahan been the builder he would have said so in so many words before beginning to quote Koran.

That Shah Jahan, far from building the marble Taj, only disfigured it with black lettering is mentioned by the inscriber Amanat Khan Shirazi himself in an inscription on the building. A close scrutiny of the Koranic lettering reveals that they are grafts patched up with bits of variegated stone on an ancient Shiva temple.
