Sikh are cool.
Hindu are cool.
That is all,
Will post *more* meaningful stuff in this thread as time goes on.
Will start moving stuff from other thread to here.
Start lifting.
It is believed that Hanuman intentionally threw a text Hanuman Natak into the sea which was written on himself.
In 1055 A.D. during the reign of the King Bhoj, the Hanuman Natak is said to have been excavated by agog pearl divers. Presenting it to the imminent poet Damodar Missar, Bhoj had damaged passages restored or re-birthed to revive Hanuman's memoirs.
In around 1623-1680 A.D. a young relative of Bhai Gurdas ji, and one of the emperor Akbar's nine poets, Hirday Ram, attempted to revive the entire manuscript. But later on he was tortured to death by Jahangir and this text remained in Mughal occupation upto Jahangir.
After declaring quietude, the Khalsa and the remnants of the Mughal empire initiated a bond of uneasy camaraderie. During this period Bahadur Shah asked Guru Gobind Singh Ji to accompany him to the Deccan. The Guru acquiesced, perceiving an opportunity to visit regional congregations of Sikhs. It was on this journey that he (the Shah) gifted the Guru with the Hanuman Natak. The Guru, who possessed a great love for tales of valour and warfare, subsequently had the manuscript dispatched to Kavi's Kanshi Ram and Kankan. Both individuals had honed their quills on the literary whetstone of Anandpur, and sat down to restore an intensive portion of Hirday Ram's Hanuman Natak.

For many historic Sikhs the Hanuman Natak served as a template for the profound relationship between the Guru and the Sikh. Hanuman served Ram Chandra as a divine deity, the Sikh too was instructed to render the same servility to his spiritual master. Simultaneously the martial arts, depicted in the manuscript, were systematically revived by the Khalsa and employed in battle. In a parallel vein to the Guru's court, the work was recited during the morning and the evening. Under the aegis of the Udasi and Nirmala bodies, educational institutes were born which readily taught theHanuman Natak as an essential text. The work had such a profound influence over Punjab, that even the respected historian Ratan Singh Bhangu constructed his own mimic detailing his genealogical heritage. It was the latter which assisted Giani Gurditt Singh in establishing a full profile of Bhangu.
