RSS men, in a fresh row, claim Taj a Shiva temple

[jamahir]

Professor Marvin Miller of New York took samples from the riverside doorway of the Taj. Carbon dating tests revealed that the door was 300 years older than Shah Jahan.

i have read of that claim before, on a pdf thread... i have never visited taj but before but even at a glance talking about a door is of no consequence... even if the door was from a rajput hindu fort, maybe it was shahjahan just honoring his mother and grandmother who were hindu, yes??

however, below is a discrediting comment ( of the entire notion ) i found on a blog that was promoting taj mahal as a temple ( Right As Usual: Taj Mahal - Which Culture Created It? )...

-- Some test of Taj mahal’s doors and wall was conducted by someone named “Marvin Miller” of Pratt institute that supposedly proved that it was actually 600 years older . So it couldn’t have been built by ShahJahan .

I have tried to track down the Marvin Miller (sometimes referred to as Marvin Mills) who is supposed to have carbon dated a door from the Taj . I have verified that no Marvin Miller or Marvin Mills is, or ever has been, a member of the faculty of the Pratt Institute. No mention of which lab those tests were conducted or where the reports of these tests are is there in Oak’s book. It’s fair to conclude that this whole test thing is bogus and never happened; if it was PN Oak should make this test results or reports available for public viewing and study by other experts.

The Taj uses an inlay technique called pieta durra, which only came to India with Florentine visitors in the late sixteenth century, so the question of the Taj being built earlier does not arise. Oak cannot decide if the Taj is supposed to be a Rajput Palace, as he first argued, or a Shiva temple, as he now claims. It looks neither like a Hindu temple, nor a Rajput palace, nor a temple palace. No Indian temples or palaces ever had domes or minarets, or symmetrical gardens.

The arguments made by Oak are on the lines that

-if you “squint” in certain way , the flowers on taj walls would reveal letter “om “ .

if I squint certain way with a definite mindset and agenda I could find the holy cross , the moon or Madonna dancing in everything !

He makes similar claims on certain things in taj’s walls , doors, basement etc , arrogantly assuming that these would have escaped the eyes of countless previous archeologists and historians who have studied Taj for centuries and ignorantly forgetting that Taj Mahal is the “most viewed monument “ in human history ! . So its absolutely baseless to assume that these things couldn’t have been discovered earlier. Four centuries is a very long time.

Moreover, if the Taj is believed to be a burial place, how can the term Mahal, i.e., mansion apply to it?"

Duh! Because of the name "mumtaz mahal" or title if u prefer.nobody called it a "palace" it is a masouleum .

it was called "Roza-E-MumTaz Mahal" (Tomb of Mumtaz mahal) in mughal accounts.

P.N Oak filed a petition with the Supreme Court on July 14 2000, to force a declaration that a Hindu king built Taj Mahal, as has claimed. The court dismissed and reprimanded him with the comments that “…only someone with bees in his bonnets could file such a petition”.

rightly so.

I thought Taj Mahal was built by Muslims, Indians are not capable of building grand architecture.

We have developed things, architecture and sciences beyond your comprehension even before your religion and people existed, buddy. Stick to the topic.

Its the foundation which is going to blow your mind. Trust me, its exactly like Angor-wat.

Taj Mahal Photo # 13

Such are the magnificent marble-paved, shining, cool, white bright rooms of the Taj Mahal temple palace's marble ground floor. Even the lower third portion of the walls is covered with magnificent marble mosaic. The doorway at the left looks suspiciously closed with a stone slab. One can perambulate through these rooms around the central octagonal sanctorum, now occupied by Mumtaz's fake grave.

Don't remember about aeroplanes but ayurved has detailed description of complex surgeries including cosmetic ones.

There are many diseases that are cured permanently in ayurved (proper, not some quack selling fake medicines) that many antibiotics and other modern medicine fail to cure.

There are many non-Indians who have come to India for ayurvedic treatments. Feel free to research on this if your thought process allows.

Not you in particular, but those who liked the post of yours should shoot themselves.
