wjkkwjkp!

the panj shastar are: Kirpan, Nakha, Teer, Khanda and Chakkar

If they are small then they should be tied within ur keski and into ur bunga. Dont have to keep them gupt but because theyre normally soo small then it doesnt really look good if theyre visible. Bigger shastar are normally kept "Parkaash"...

Hope that helps..

wjkkwjkp!

whats a nakha singh jee?

The Kesh Panj Shastar are not part of the original Khalsa Rehit, they came into existance about a century after.

The Panj Shastar Rehit of carrying 5 weapons isnt specific to certain weapons, they can be anything. In olden times it would be something like 2 tulwars, a Ramjunga, Teer Kamaan, Pash, Katar. But even the 5 would be a bare minimum, if you study old photos you will see that the Singhs were armed to the teeth, tanked with char aina armour, sheilds, chakars on dumalas, necks, shoulders, biceps, and wrists, pistols, small daggers, bagh nakhas, and so on

Each warrior has his own particular skill level and ability, therefore he would carry weapons that compliment his fighting style. Depending on the environment and threat level, the Singhs would adopt a Jang readiness, for example always carrying a naked tulwar and not allowing people withing certain distances.

To say that there is one set combination of weapons is incorrect, there are litterally thousands of different weapons in the indo persian arsenal, and to just extract a set 5 would be detrimental to the armies as each situation in a war requires varying tactics employed by using varying weapons.

In todays day and age, this maryada means nothing to majority of Sikhs as they all carry weapons for show without knowing how to use them.

wat does the khalsa rehit say about panj shastar rehit. is it a must for all khalsa and why

[Gurbar Akaal]

Panj shastar rehit emphasises the concept of "tyar bar tyar", readiness for battle and war. Just carrying them alone is of no purpose as Guru Gobind Singh states "bina abhihas shastar bhik mano", without training recognise your weapons as poison.

What is a Nakha waheguruji?

It would be nice to wear them in the dumalla but thing is they aren't useable then - unless they're very sharp

[Guest sukhjeevansingh]

quote the rehatnama where it says bin abhiyaas shastar bhik mano babaji, i agree just wanna se the evidence.. sorry for digging a 3 year old thread up?

[Guest TyarBarTyarKharkoo]

i also want to know is the panj shastar rehit obsolete now..or should it be adapted for modern purposes...etc the fauj will replace puratan shastar with modern ones...assault rifles, sub machines guns..machine pistols..LMGs...pistols..multi purpose combat knives...grenades...rocket propelled explosives....is the khalsa fauj just left in name only or is a actual functioning army..like in the past??

So what do say about Bhai Nand Lal Jis bani "Panj Shastar Parvaan" im sure that was written at time of Guru Gobind SIngh ji i.e. his main kavi Bhai Nand Lal.

I was pointed out something very interesting by a nihang singh from birmingham, if you look at a set of kesh panj shastar when they are made together i.e. with chain or torra wire the complete 5 shastar can act like a kamandki. A flange style mace.
