Hindu Adhyathmikam: Was Taj Mahal a Hindu Temple? - YES !!!
Hindu Adhyathmikam: Was Taj Mahal a Hindu Temple? - YES !!!
The Taj Mahal is as much a Islamic structure as is mathematics a muslim discovery! The famous historian Shri P.N. Oak has proven that Taj Mahal is actually Tejo Mahalaya - a shiv temple-palace. His work was published in 1965 in the book, Taj Mahal - The True Story. However, we have not heard much about it because it was banned by the corrupt and power crazed Congress government of Bharat who did not want to alienate their precious vote bank-the muslims.
After reading Shri Oak's work which provides more than adequate evidence to prove that Taj Mahal is indeed Tejo Mahalaya, one has to wonder if the government of Bharat has been full of traitors for the past 50 years! Because to ban such a book which states only the truth is surely a crime against our great nation of Bharat.
20 major evidences of Tejo Mahalaya....
1) Name (Tejo Mahalaya - Taj Mahal)
2) Temple tredition around Taj mahal
3) Documentary evidence
4) European Visitor's Accounts
5) Sanskrit Inscriptions on the walls of Mahal
6) Missing elephants
7) Koranic patches
8) Carbon 14 test by archeologists
9) Vedic architectural Evidence in and around mahal.
10) Inconsistencies
11) Treasury well inside of Mahal
12) Mumtaj Burial Date unknown
13) Baseless Love stories
14) Cost
15) Period of construction
16) Records doesn't exist
17) The Hindu dome
18) Tomb is the grave, not the building
19) Pre-Shahjahan References to the Taj
20) Forged documents
