Prof Lou Fenech on The Court of the Tenth Guru

Louis Fenech returns to the UKPHA Bookclub to present another captivating talk which will focus on Guru Gobind Singh’s Darbar (Divine Court). From a comparatively simple following which gathered around Guru Nanak to the celebrated Darbar of Guru Gobind Singh, Lou Fenech will illustrate the development of the Darbar. By focusing on the documentary evidence, such as the Zafar-Namah ('Epistle of Victory’), his talk will reconstruct the evolving nature of the Sikh Guru’s Darbar.

To respond to that last guys question: read Sarrbloh Guru Granth Sahib, Dasm patshah himself talks about the how there 12 gurus and how the guru gadi went to whom.

I feel this professor is good for teaching the west the basics of sikhi. As for standard sikhs he doesnt really bring any insight to the table but I believe as he is a westerner sikhs just get blown away by his (limited) knowledge simply for the fact that he is western

I can't say I approve of his terminology Islamicate, I've never come across such a term, it seems made-up to avoid using the term Islamic, as if it implies something negative. It's a sad choice to invent a new term because you are afraid to use a perfectly acceptable term that already exists. He has not introduced a new term to describe Hindu associations. You, sir, have lowered your standing. If I have misunderstood, I'm apologise and I'm happy to be corrected.
