Damdami Taksal

The Damdami Taksal is a Sikh educational organization in India. Its headquarters are located in the town of Chowk Mehta, approximately 25 miles north of the city of Amritsar.

The organization claims to be over 300 years old and names Guru Gobind Singh as its founder. However, some independent scholars, such as Harjot Oberoi, assert that there is no firm evidence to support this claim.

According to the Damdami Taksal, it was entrusted with the responsibility of teaching the reading (santhyia), analysis (vichar) and recitation of the Sikh scriptures by Guru Gobind Singh. It was brought to wider attention by Jarnail Singh Bhindranwala and the Khalistan movement.
