See here. The original Vishwanath temple (Jyotirlinga) was at a place now called Adi Viswanath (circled in red). This was demolished by Kutubuddin Aibak (or Ghori, not sure) between 1192-98. Then it was moved to where Gyanwapi mosque is now(in green).

Then Ahilyabai Holkar built the temple in 1776 which we see today (in yellow).

I think so. And that Jyotirlinga is now in the Gyanwaapi Koop(well).

As far as the location of the Shivlinga for the temple destroyed by Aurangzeb is concerned, see this skectch. Blue mark is the location of the Nandi (still there) of the temple destroyed. So Shivlinga must be on the line towards the mouth of Nandi.

K2As deliberately built (as a mark of disrespect and to humiliate Hindus) the stairs (red loop) to climb up into the mosque complex at the exact location of the Shivlinga of the temple destroyed in 1669.

This book "Kashi Gaurav" by Swami Shivananda Sarasvati (Shishya of Swami Karpatri Ji). But I know this thing first hand as I grew up in Kashi. :)

See this mention of "Avimukteshwar Shivlinga" (I guess right beside the Garbhagriha) by the Pujari of Kashi Vishwanath temple.
@SamarpakBharat
Look at the amount paid (1 Crore+) by UP Govt to acquire the property (the place of famous Avimukteshvara Linga) at the address CK-35/33 Dhundhiraj Gali.
Question ye hai ki Veda,Upanishad, Puran mein mentioned temple Pvt property kaise ho gaya? 😊

"...strategy around painting BJP as a violent..."

Pappu ke paas itna dimmag nahin hai. Uske handlers (Sekoolar-Savarnas and their western Masters) karte hain ye sab. There is nothing new in it. In the beginning, in Padre/Pastor narrative Hindu heathen, like any other pagan,

was described as violent, immoral, and sexually deviant and a threat to the (Christian) world order and peace(1500-1885).

With secularization of Christianity, "violent" Hindu Heathen became "communal". Thus was born the threat of "Hindu communalism"

and Colonial office coolie class of Hindus (with Congress as a political platform) became a bulwark against it saving India and particularly Muslims from the Hindu Communalism of RSS and BJP(1885-2014).

The Sengol that Sri Modi is using to resurrect Bharat out of secular slumber has very deep relevance to the Bharatiya model of governance. It is called “Dharma Danda” in our traditions.
1/
As part of the coronation ritual, the newly coronated king (thru mantras) says “I am going to rule with my Raja Danda” meaning to say “I will rule thru my authority and might to punish”.
2/
Then the priest or Raja Guru hits the King with Dharma Danda and says (thru mantras); “rule with Dharma Danda” and hands over the Sengol/Dharma-Danda.

जैसे रावण ने नर्मदाजी के सारे पत्थरों में शिव प्राण प्रतिष्ठा कर दी ताकि सामान्यजन को भगवान शिव की पूजा करने के लिये प्राणप्रतिष्ठा करवाने के झंझट में न पड़ना पडे़ और वो सीधे-२ नर्मदा के पत्थर को शिवलिङ्ग के रुप में पूजना शुरु कर दे,

वैसे ही नारदजी ने भगवान श्रीराम से रामनाम की मन्त्ररुप से समष्टि दीक्षा करवायी। जिससे (कलियुग में ) श्रोत्रिय ब्रह्मनिष्ठ गुरु मिले की ना मिले, लेकिन कोई अगर चाहे तो स्वयं से राम नाम को मन्त्र को जपना शुरु कर सकता है।

"तब नारद बोले हरषाई। अस बर मागउँ करउँ ढिठाई॥
जद्यपि प्रभु के नाम अनेका। श्रुति कह अधिक एक तें एका॥
राम सकल नामन्ह ते अधिका। होउ नाथ अघ खग गन बधिका॥

दोहा :
राका रजनी भगति तव राम नाम सोइ सोम।
अपर नाम उडगन बिमल बसहुँ भगत उर ब्योम॥

Somehow I feel Oak too was honestly wrong. But then he took himself too seriously and became stubborn about his childish "discovery" (or "discoveries"). At present his situation is like

"बँध्यो कीर मरकट की नाईं"~श्रीरामचरितमानस

Even if he wants his chelas won't let him descend
"बँध्यो कीर मरकट की नाईं" needs explanation for rootless Hindi speaking people and non-Hindi speaking people.

The allusion is to two popular modes of catching parrots and monkeys. A stick with bait at the end and

 @jayasartn @RamMohanRoy108
a string attached to it is so set in the ground that it revolves from the weight of the parrot when it lights upon it, and the bird, confused by the motion, fancies it is entangled in the string, though it is really loose and might fly away if it tried.

अगर ब्राह्मण जाति में (आजकल के ब्राह्मण चाहे जैसे भी हों) ०.००००१% भी गुरुबुद्धि है (०.००००१% भी शास्त्र की समझ है) तो किसी भी ब्राह्मण स्त्री के प्रति किसी के मन में (जो ब्राह्मण नही है) भोग्या का भाव कैसे आ सकता है।
बिना अब्राहमिक (आततायी/असुर) संस्कार के ब्राह्मण स्त्री के भोग की इच्छा नही उठ सकती।

मैं उसके पहले की बात कर रहा हूँ। बुद्धि के अनुकूल हुये बिना मन में कोई संकल्प आता नही। एक उदाहरण से स्पष्ट करता हूँ। जिस वस्तु को हम गंदा समझते हैं उसको खाने का मन में संकल्प ही नही उठता।

बहुत सारे आधुनिक हिन्दूओं को वेद के संहिता, ब्राह्मण, आरण्यक, उपनिषद भाग क्या हैं इसका पता ही नही होता है। इसलिये जिनको यह जानना है इस धागे को पढे़ं।

"वेद के दो विभाग हैं— मन्त्र और ब्राह्मण(मन्त्रब्राह्मणयोर्वेदनामधेयम् । मन्त्रब्राह्मणात्मको वेदः )।

किसी देवता की स्तुति में प्रयुक्त होने वाले अर्थ-स्मारक वाक्य को 'मन्त्र' कहते हैं। यज्ञयागादि के अनुष्ठान का विस्तृत विवेचन करने वाले ग्रन्थ को 'ब्राह्मण' कहते हैं । मन्त्र समूह को 'संहिता' कहते हैं।संहितायें चार हैं—ऋक्, साम, यजुः और अथर्व।
2/
इनका संकलन यज्ञानुष्ठान की दृष्टि से किया गया है । यज्ञयागादि के विधिपूर्वक अनुष्ठान के लिये चार ऋत्विजों की आवश्कता होती है— होता, जो स्तुति-मन्त्रों के उच्चारण से देवताओं का आह्वान करता है; उद्गाता, जो मधुर स्वर में मन्त्र गान करता है;
