I noticed they don't seem to give explicit orders regarding conduct. They are more like orders for requisitions. Trying to read them made me realise how poor my Panjabi really is......

Is there no surviving Hukum requesting Sikh presence at Anandpur in 1699 with kesh and weapons?

Gurfateh !

I don't believe a specific 'Vaisakhi' hukumnama is available - but from those available it is clear that the Sangat was requested to come bearing arms ;

Line 7 of hukumnama 25 states : 'Hathiaar bann ke darshan aa vanna' - Seek 'darshan' bearing arms

In the famous Patiala hukumnama (hukumnama 12) line 3 states ; 'Tudh jamiat le ke asade hajoor aavana' - 'Come into my presence with all your 'men' (personal army)'

Line 9 states ; 'Tussan assvaar le ke aavana jaroor' - a request to come with horsemen (mounted cavalry).

The Patiala Hukumnama is dated CE 1696 and the request for cavalry was to help in the battle with the Hill Rajas. It is said that because of this help Guru Sahib bestowed his special blessing on the House of Patiala. It is said that it is because of this special blessing that much later during the Missal Period, the 11 missals did not attack the Phulkian states.

Here are some more images - in colour ;

The Hukumnama sent by Guru Tegh Bahadar Sahib - a 'Hukum Khas Furman' - to the sangat of Patna at the time of the Prakash , birth of Guru Gobind Singh - expressing their Joy and hope the sangat will contine to assist and help Guru Sahib's family at this special time.

This Hukumnama is Kept at Takht Patna Sahib.

Gurfateh!

Thanks for the info Freed. You truly are a repository of wisdom dude! I noticed that in most of Dasmesh Pita's hukums Sikhs are instructed "Guru Guru Japna", is this the precursor of using Waheguru for simran?

I also noticed that Guri Gobind Singh's nishaan has a cross and a dot, do we know anything about this? Is it a degh and tegh?
