Just wonderin is taking off your kakaar during shower or sleeping a kurait, and do you have to get pesh for it??

Also what are some solutions to keeping your kirpan/kangha on while taking a shower?

Bhul chuk bakhsnee!!

Veerjee....really i have been wondering about this also....

but i think it would be the regular answar...some would say it is O.K. when u r having a shower or in a plane (well, use a smaller kirpan...some say which can be tying around the neck)....but others would say it is Rehit to have it near our body all the time........

Veerjio ^_^

Yea I get the same thing, some say its ok, some say no its wrong, and its as bad as getting pesh again from the panj pyaray.

I look at it this way, AMRIT shouldn't refrain you from anything, it should set your soul free, and make yourself free from doing anything you want, at the same time having your kakaar, with you always.

Some goto an extent where they say when taking off your shirt you should have a small kirpan on your body, instead of right beside you. :D

I don't know :D

Well, Veerji.......i do not know what to say but isn't it better to learn Shasstar Vidya and really be able to use Kirpan....and not just make it a ritual.

offcourse we have outmost respect for a Kakkar......and really everywhere we are we must have it with us. But saying that when taking off ur shirt...that i think is too much.

i do not know if we actually left the Kirpan 1-2 meters away and started taking of the shirt....if in anyway it would be easier to fight the enemy that may come..than having Sri Sahib to our chest and not even ne able to take it out of the Gatra....?!?!

Kara is no problem, you can just put it tight on your arm, by pushing it towards your shoulders, but in cases of tournaments, like I use to have b-ball tournaments, where i had to take my kara off, I just took it off to put it in my pocket, that's no big deal!

But as long as you're not taking it off to do bad stuff its ok :D Because its like a reminder, to not use your hands for bad purposes.

meee tooo.. I really wanna find the answer for this one..

What if someone do take his/her kara off for some moments only for like 15 - 30 mins.. but have it inside the pocket... Is it wrong?

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa!

Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!!

first kakaar should allways be there touching us but it u keep it in pocket for some time or during shower u wear a small one u should not do "VEHAM" during amrit they say that khalsa will not do veham so if by mistake anything happens or for some time u keep it in "POCKET" NO PROBLEM but intensionally u should not leave kakaar my 2 percent bhul chuk maaf rolleyes.gif

bilkul theek jee

i agree

sikhi is a free religion.. not an extremist one...

we have soo much freedom compared to other religions..

and there shouldnt be a veham or fear of God..

    • lol dal panth Panj told me explicitly not to associate with Vadhbhag Singh Sodhi followers!
    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
