Kirpan Bhet - When Did It Start?


Recommended Posts

Fateh,

My dad asked me to lookinto this. So far after midnight googling, i came up with some informaiton which if i add to somethings that i remember from childhood, i can sort of put together a picture.

So the main question is "When did sikhs started doing Kirpan Bhet to Karah Parshad?" My dad mentioned something about Machiwara and the whole Uch da Peer incedent. So i did some Google search and i found one site which briefly mentions that When Guru ji was being takenby Bhai Gani Khan and Nabi Khan and Bhai Daya singh, they were stopped by a Mughal Petrol who asked who the man sitting on the manji was. Gani Khan and Nabi Khan introduced Guru Gobind singh jee as Uch da peer. I think then the Muslim soldiers gave them halal meat to eat just to test that they werent sikhs. Guru Gobind singh jee then told Bhai Daya singh jee to Do Kirpan Bhet to the meat and recite Japuji sahib di pauri and (not sure about this) after he had done that the Meat turned into karah which Bhai Daya singh ate?

Also i believe there is a place or Gurdwara in Machiwara called "Kirpan Bhet"?

So can someone please answer the question "When did sikhs started doing Kirpan Bhet to Karah Parshad?" and also if possible shed light on the Uch da peer incedent

Many thanks

Umm, interesting...

I think I remember hearing that the soldiers got a trusted Mullah to verify Bhai Ghani Khan and Nabi Khans asertions. The Mullah, after seeing my true king, then said that Guru Gobind Singh Ji is "peer -aa de peer" i.e. the spirtiual divine of spirtual divine people. The soldiers then let them past.

The meat test is new to me ji.

It comes from Guru Gobind Singh Ji accepting gifts / giving "asheervad" / marking his approval with the use of his Teer whilst being on his Asthaan.

In Hazoor Sahib bhog and acceptance of items like Rumallas for Guru Maharaj is still blessed with a Teer.

The Kirpan Bhet is adapted from here, since it is the most common shastar of the Khalsa.

Guru Ji used to touch the karahparsaad that was brought into the sangat. With Guruguddi being passed on to Guru Granth and GuruPanth, this process was changed to kirpan bhet.

This seems logical.

Sorry for bumping this thread but can other members please give insight into why we do kirpan bhet. I was asked this question and didn't know the answer myself.

there is a gurdwara called Kirpan Bhet, whch commemorates the sakhi of Guru Ji being stopped by the Moghals. Rattan Singh Bhangu has written on it in Panth Parkash, it is deffo worth a read, and this is the 1st that i have heard of Kirpan Bhet happening myself.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
