The Reality of Taj Mahal - Mumtaz’s tomb or Shiva’s Temple ???
Posted by Arora under Articles, UncategorizedThe True Story of the Taj Mahal
By P. N. Oak
The story of the Taj Mahal that most of us have known about may not be the real truth. Herein Mr. P. N. Oak presents an interesting set of proofs that show a completely different story. Contrary to what visitors are made to believe the Tajmahal is not a Islamic mausoleum but an ancient Shiva Temple known as Tejo Mahalaya which the 5th generation Moghul emperor 
Shahjahan commandeered from the then Maharaja of Jaipur. The Taj Mahal, should therefore, be viewed as a temple palace and not as a tomb. That makes a vast difference. You miss the details of its size, grandeur, majesty and beauty when you take it to be a mere tomb. When told that you are visiting a temple palace you wont fail to notice its annexes, ruined defensive walls, hillocks, moats, cascades, fountains, majestic garden, hundreds of rooms archaded verendahs, terraces, multi stored towers, secret sealed chambers, guest rooms, stables, the trident (Trishul) pinnacle on the dome and the sacred, esoteric Hindu letter "OM" carved on the exterior of the wall of the sanctum sanctorum now occupied by the cenotaphs. For detailed proof of this breath taking discovery, you may read the well known historian Shri. P. N. Oak's celebrated book titled " Tajmahal : The True Story".
Some archaelogistical remains claim that Taj Mahal was an ancient vedic Shiva temple rather than the tomb that Shah Jahan built in memory of his beloved wife who died during childbirth. Is there a way to solve this mystery ???

I think everybody who invaded India in the past wants “their” piece of cake. This outstanding research on Taj is just another convincing evidence to show that the zeal of Shah Jahan to acquiesce Lord Shiva’s temple, and present to the world although it’s a monumental masterpiece. The Archaelogical survey of India (ASI) can wake up and proclaim to the world that The Taj indeed is the place of worship of Lord Shiva should they agree to the claims of the author. But hey, think about the communcal clash that might originate between us (hindus) and our brothers (muslims) if at all ASI does it. Another disaster will strike followed by blood flood and an “obvious” bombing/death flow in Kashmir - the usual victim. India continues to prove since its existence that it is “the” nation for very rich culture and tradition. The meaning of the word mercy is what constitutes our body and soul. So, we should just leave the matter as it is now to avoid any future clash.
ps: What benefit will we get ‘if at all’ the world is convinced that The Taj is actually Shiva temple? Zilch!!!

its really an interesting fact and should be revealed in front of the world. I have read about this earliere also. If it is true then it will be an unfair not to reveal in Public.

I was rather shocked to read this reality and i think government should take an initiative to research in the locked room and display the reality to the world, it is their duty to remove the curtains from the truth and not to hide fearing political backlash.

This fact should be revealed in front of the world immediately. This just the question of truth & nothing else…..Please spread everywhere. And government should take some step into this.
Thanks

This is a sensitive topic. I agree with the way our then PM Indira Gandhi withdrew the first edition of Mr. Oak’s book from the market. What if the sealed rooms are opened and nothing shows up? Though assuming temporarily, that Shah Jahan might had destroyed the Hindu temple, he might not had anything stored in the sealed room. What if he might have destroyed everything? What if there are equipment and parts of second Taj stored (the Black-Taj)?
I believe more engineering skills and equipments should be employed to scan the interior of the sealed-rooms (through X-rays and microwaves) to find possible things inside. Then only, a decision should be taken to whether or not open-up the seal of the rooms.
We have to remember that Taj is not only a property of India, but among the possible wonders of the world.

Its a good read …spread it to every corner of the world…the archaeological survey of India must allow the unbiased International experts to investigate the Taj Mahal thoroughly,its about 400 rooms in the basements,the underground staircase,some rooms closed unscrupulously with bricks and morters since the mughal period,the radio carbon dating of the wooden doors etc. It is utterly absurd for a Tomb to have about 400 rooms in the basements for living or any purpose whatsoever, sings of dis-tortion of the Taj are plenty in the basements basements.Why is the Archaeological Survey of India afraid of opening the every nook and corner of Taj Mahal to unbiased International archaeological experts and researchers or even to all the common visitors who pay a hasty visit? This way generations of people have been duped…True History being ravished shamelessly!

I think that Govrnment should have to take action for this.Because everyone should know the reality of TAJ.

It’s quite a interesting. I heared people don’t have to enter some of rooms in Tajmahal because its secret.
Sharjaha killed all people in those rooms. and they are major hindu….
