What are your thoughts on sri sahib?

Must it be a traditional one? Must it be sarbloh? Does it have to be in a gatra?

Is it enough to carry any blade? Does any other sort of weapon qualify?

My own impression is that the best answers reflect both the requirements laid before us, and the fact that Sikhism is ultimately practical.

What say you?

what can a kirpan do against a gun?

i don't know, ask maharaj ji. What u asking his gursikhs for? This question directly defies Maharaj's hukam of wearing 5 kakaars. A blasphemous question like that appears to be something to ask the One who made the panth.

it must be sarbloh and it should have a gatra

its best to wear a traditional kirpan

as they are less flashy and more practical

not trying to start long debate but just wondering. arnt sarbloh kirpans generally very blunt? and what purpose does gatra serve other than inspirering sangat because it draws attention to ur kirpan

ggatraa keeps ur kirpan in place and make sures it ant falling out, but still making it easy to pull out in a situation...

or u cud wear ur kirpan in ur kamarkassa...(i.e wen weaing bana) biut if not tied properly the shastar gna keep falling out, wich is disrespectful...

wen having an ishnan u use you gatra to tie ur kirpan to ur keski!

also if the blades bunt it can b sharpened...however blunt blades are useful, it jus wen if u eva do needa attack, u jus have to put in abit more jor, power..

challoo

what can a kirpan do against a gun?

quite alot, provided you can take it out immediatly. even if you dont, your kirpan will block the bullets, I have come across a couple of Singhs from India during the 80's that where protected from bullets this way. The bullets got stuck in the mian. Guru Sahib works in awesome ways...

my questions for you, what can a gun do against a nuclear bomb? what can a nuclear bomb do against waheguru's will?

    • Net pay after taxes. If you don't agree, think about this: If you were a trader and started off in China with silk that cost 100 rupees and came to India, and you had to pay total 800 rupees taxes at every small kingdom along the way, and then sold your goods for 1000 rupees, you'd have 100 rupees left, right? If your daswandh is on the gross, that's 100 rupees, meaning you have nothing left. Obviously, you owe only 10% of 100, not 10% of 1000. No, it's 10% before bills and other expenses. These expenses are not your expenses to earn money. They are consumption. If you are a business owner, you take out all expenses, including rent, shop electricity, cost of goods sold, advertising, and government taxes. Whatever is left is your profit and you owe 10% of that.  If you are an employee, you are also entitled to deduct the cost of earning money. That would be government taxes. Everything else is consumption.    
    • No, bro, it's simply not true that no one talks about Simran. Where did you hear that? Swingdon? The entire Sikh world talks about doing Simran, whether it's Maskeen ji, Giani Pinderpal Singh, Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi, or Sants. So what are you talking about? Agreed. Agreed. Well, if every bani were exactly the same, then why would Guru ji even write anything after writing Japji Sahib? We should all enjoy all the banis. No, Gurbani tells you to do Simran, but it's not just "the manual". Gurbani itself also has cleansing powers. I'm not saying not to do Simran. Do it. But Gurbani is not merely "the manual". Reading and singing Gurbani is spiritually helpful: ਪ੍ਰਭ ਬਾਣੀ ਸਬਦੁ ਸੁਭਾਖਿਆ ॥  ਗਾਵਹੁ ਸੁਣਹੁ ਪੜਹੁ ਨਿਤ ਭਾਈ ਗੁਰ ਪੂਰੈ ਤੂ ਰਾਖਿਆ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The Lord's Bani and the words are the best utterances. Ever sing hear and recite them, O brother and the Perfect Guru shall save thee. Pause. p611 Here Guru ji shows the importance of both Bani and Naam: ਆਇਓ ਸੁਨਨ ਪੜਨ ਕਉ ਬਾਣੀ ॥ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਿਸਾਰਿ ਲਗਹਿ ਅਨ ਲਾਲਚਿ ਬਿਰਥਾ ਜਨਮੁ ਪਰਾਣੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The mortal has come to hear and utter Bani. Forgetting the Name thou attached thyself to other desires. Vain is thy life, O mortal. Pause. p1219 Are there any house manuals that say to read and sing the house manual?
    • All of these are suppositions, bro. Linguists know that, generally, all the social classes of a physical area speak the same language, though some classes may use more advanced vocabulary. I'm talking about the syntax. That is, unless the King is an invader, which Porus was not. When you say Punjabi wasn't very evolved, what do you mean? The syntax must have been roughly the same. As for vocabulary, do you really think Punjabis at the time did nothing more than grunt to express their thoughts? That they had no shades of meaning? Such as hot/cold, red/yellow/blue, angry/sweet/loving/sad, etc? Why must we always have an inferiority complex?
    • I still think about that incident now and then, just haven't heard any developments regarding what happened, just like so many other things that have happened in Panjab!
    • There was a young Singh from abroad who went to Anandpur Sahib Hola and got into a fight with some Punjabis who were playing loud non-religious music. He had bana and a weapon or two. There were more of them than him.  He ended up losing his life. Don't be like that. Not worth it to fight manmukhs. @californiasardar1 ਮੂਰਖੈ ਨਾਲਿ ਨ ਲੁਝੀਐ ॥੧੯॥ Argue not with a fool. p473
