Sleeping With Kirpans

Hi guys,

A few years ago I started keeping my hair. Ever since, I've had faith and I've been studying my religion. Recently I decided to try and wear the full 5K's including Kirpan 24/7 and get myself setup towards taking Amrit one day (god willing) .

During the day I can walk about with no problems. At night when I sleep I find it IMPOSSIBLE to sleep with my kirpan on. Either the cold metal of it keeps touching me and freaking me out, or my mind is just set on it being there. My mind refuses to budge and I never get to sleep.

I bought myself a considerably small kirpan compared to what I've seen other Sikhs wear.

How can I adjust myself/kirpan towards being able to sleep comfortably?

Kind regards.

Put it under your pillow, obviously you are still wearing it on your Gatra but in this position (under your head), it will probably not disturb you in your sleep. Maybe your Gatra is too short.

why not wear your kirpan of the outside of your nightwear, therefore not having direct conTACT OF THE METAL WITH YOUR SKIN?

...unless you sleep in 'just' you kachera...then...i suppose you'll get used to the cold metal, one day :)

Thanks for the replies guys.

Well, I guess it could be the gatra seeing that it's an exact fit. I tend to sleep without shirt on as it feels more comfortable. With shirts theres always a problem.

isit me or does this dude complain 2 much? tongue.gif

Reminds me of a saying:

If you're not tired, no matter how comfortable/soft your bed is you won't fall asleep.

And when you're knackered, you'll fall asleep even if you're lying on the ground!

So the real problem behind your sleep difficulty is maybe your laziness during the day. Do yourself a favour and work hard (physically and mentally) during the day. Tire urself out and then you'll realise that kirpan/no kirpan u'll sleep like a baby

:TH:

    • 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.
