Before doing bad we think twice;

• ‘I could be expelled from school’ 

• ‘I could be sacked from work’ 

• ‘I could go to prison’

• ‘I could be punished in hell’

• ‘I could be placed on quality control by admins’ 

Naam contains nothing but happiness, so we do we think twice to meditate on naam? 

Isn’t it a no brainier that simro simar simar sukh pavo?

I appreciate your perspective. I really do. I also appreciate that others won't agree. 

For your context, I’d say take the kirpan off for safety of you and your opponent, like a duty of care. You know it’s a friendly, safe environment for practicing your skills. Taksali kirpan even in its cover are really sharp btw.

And if that time comes where you need to use force as last resort, then full on angry tiger mode bro  Restore peace, put the skills to use

edit - tiger emoji should look more scary

Saacha naam means sach da naam. Name of the true one i.e Vaheguru ji

You are working hard by honest means to provide for your family and following Sikhi too. That's beautiful, god bless you 

The gatra could be worn around your waist (instead of over shoulder) with kirpan tucked into your trousers? (Some people do this for sports).

Wearing a sheath on your belt sounds like a comfortable and secure option too

A physical shop / retail will be successful in the coming times if it can offer an 'experience'. 

Coming out of lockdown people want experiences. Apple stores are good example, to visit one is an event in it's self. It's the 'buzz', the atmosphere in the stores that I look forward to experience again. 

If you're just selling products it's better to do it online. Even so, through channels like Amazon, Instagram & FB marketplace.

I used to work in a retail business (office based role at the HQ) with a huge warehouse onsite. A company turning over £1M+ sales daily. They had a dedicated section in the warehouse just to fulfil Amazon orders. Everyone knows Amazon became big, but to visit a company's warehouse and see how they had to adapt to benefit from the 'amazon revolution' is really fascinating.

I can relate more to how you feel than any other user.

Hours of hard work go into writing posts to encourage others and you don't ask for anything in return. Then individual users inject their negativity. If our post is not good, why don't they write their own post for the sangat? 

Anyway, well done for taking your time to share valuable things with others. I pray you will be rewarded for your efforts 

Bro carry on studying gurbani and learning for your personal journey, for your own bliss.

I think just wish people of this forum well and leave them to do their fighting and arguing.

Bhai Dilbagh & Gulbagh Singh are 2 gems from our history of classical kirtan performers. Their family have a great history behind them.

During time of Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji there was a Muslim family very talented in raag but living in poverty. They were surviving on donations people gave after hearing their music. Time came that they received darshan of 6th Guru Ji. After hearing of their poverty Guru Sahib provided a written copy of Asa Di Vaar and asked them to come and sing this bani the following morning.

The family’s faith was such they went and memorised the bani then spent whole night practicing. After they performed kirtan, Guru Sahib gave bachan that as long as you keep singing Gurbani heaps of money will be left in-front of you!

Kirtan continued down the generations, recent generation were Bhai Dilbagh & Gulbagh Singh. (One of the current generation is Bhai Davinder Singh Bodal).

Seen here Bhai Gulbagh Singh on Left, Bhai Dilbagh Singh on Right:
