Steve you write:

>From the above, Steve, I gather that you are willing to
believe that in fact "Koot Hoomi" was actually at Amritsar sometime
in 1880 in his physical body.

But if you really believe that "Koot Hoomi" was 
Nisikanta Chattopadhyaya, then I must point out to you that
Chattopadhyaya in his "Three Lectures: The Reminiscences of the German University
Life," etc (1895) writes that he [Chattopadhyaya]was STILL in Europe in
the early 1880s working on his degree. His account shows that he was not
physically in India in the early 1880s --- therefore how could he be Koot
Hoomi?

I will try to publish Chattopadhyaya's account on my website in the next
week or so.
