Amarjeet Singh_1737 Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 1.) What is the symbolic significance behind the Ashtbhuj/Astbhuj Duja? 2.) What is the history behind it? Do others exist? 3.) Any pre-Sikh era history behind it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsingh101 Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 I vaguely recalling that it had some connection to Durga in Niddar and SIngh's book on Hazoor Sahib. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amarjeet Singh_1737 Posted October 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 this is all the info i got till now on it Interesting. Always thought Gajgah and Ashtbhuj were different. According to my research the Gajgah was given to Singhs who killed an elephant alone or brought it down without any assistance. The Ashtbhuj however finds mention solely in the ithiaas of Dasam patshah. Did Guru Ji have it specifically built? Was it given to them? And what do the eight arms represent? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chatanga1 Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 According to Niddar Singh, the 8 arms represent different fighting techniques. They represent different animals but are considered the 8 arms of Chandi. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amarjeet Singh_1737 Posted October 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 I wouldnt go that far, I would rather listen to what he says on merit and research anything he says that seems dubious. Some of the things which Niddar has said in the past have turned out to be true, but then again he ruins his own credibility with dishonesty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chatanga1 Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Can't remember too much about it really, but it was during his akhara sessions years ago, prolly 5 or 6 years. learned a few things from him, but he won't change his mind even when presented with irrefutable evidence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
