Theos-Talk Archives (April 2001 Message tt00011)

Steve, thanks for your long reply.

I will make just a few comments and ask a
few questions at this point.

I do not believe KH was a Sikh. I was not implying
it. Just quoting what KH says about being in Amritsar
and at the Golden Temple.

Steve, let me get this straight. You are saying that
you believe KH was actually at Amritsar/Golden Temple
but he was actually there some months before Oct 29, 1880?

He was there sometime during 1880 but before Oct 1880?

You "do NOT doubt that he went there."
Do you believe he was there in his physical body?

I hope I can get a clarification from you about what I've
just asked.

Now a more general question:

What kind of evidence would change your mind and convince
you that "Koot Hoomi" was NOT Nisikanta Chattopadhyaya?

In other words, what kind of evidence if I provided it
would negate your belief that KH was Nisikanta Chattopadhyaya?

Yes, Steve I have that article. This article and other
relevant material will be published at BLAVATSKY ARCHIVES
in the next 4 to 5 days.

Thanks for the clues about Morya. I will look at them and
see what I can come up with.  

I will also be presenting some evidence about Damodar and Djual Kul.
