The Historical Proof that Mata Jito Ji and Mata Sundari Ji were distinct
WJKK WJKF. Many people today argue that Guru Gobind Singh Ji had only one wife, claiming Mata Jito Ji and Mata Sundari Ji were the same person under different names. However, the historical timeline makes this impossible. The strongest proof lies in the Hukamnamas (edicts) issued by Mata Sundari Ji from Delhi. Traditional history tells us that Mata Jito Ji passed away (Akaal Chalana) around 1700 or 1704. Yet, we have verified Hukamnamas signed by Mata Sundari Ji dated between 1710 and 1730, where she was leading the Panth long after the Guru’s time. A person who passed away in 1704 could not be issuing leadership letters in 1725. Furthermore, historical records show they had different parents from different cities—Mata Jito Ji was the daughter of Hari Jas from Lahore, while Mata Sundari Ji was the daughter of Ram Saran from Agra. When we add Mata Sahib Devan, the "Mother of the Khalsa," we see that the Guru had three Mahals, each with a specific and vital role in our history. By merging them into one, we accidentally erase the 40 years of incredible leadership Mata Sundari Ji provided to the Khalsa in Delhi after 1708. We should honor our history as it happened, rather than trying to change it to fit modern views. What are your thoughts on the Hukamnama evidence?
