Well Singhs used to wear long kirpaan, so I really doubt they had it in gatra while sleeping.

It would be more normal to sleep with the kirpaan, maybe under the pillow.

It is only because of small kirpaans that we are having these discussions.

Yes, you're supposed to wear it to bed. Khalsa is tyar bar tyar, even while asleep :ph34r: Remember, this is Akal Purakh's Fauj you're joining, not some boy scout club. Ideally, you should also ha

I'm pretty sure that gatra came around the british rule...

I think in the past, one would sleep with their hand around the kirpan or it at their side, that way they would be ready at a moment's notice. I know that Sikhs had shastars in dastaar but i don't know if they would have also had in while sleeping...

  Might delay Sikhs becoming a minority in Punjab for a few more years. Do these students actually study and work in a related field after their course or is it purely for immigration?

  Good website. Could they post the complete Sri Sarbloh Granth. I can’t find all of it online.

  Thanks for this. It combines the four approved sources (Guru Granth Sahib ji, Dasam Granth Sahib, Bhai Gurdas ji (both Vaar and Kabitt), and Bhai Nand Lal ji in one place. The English translation is the Sant Singh Khalsa and the Punjabi is the Principal Sahib Singh. These aren't that great, but at least they are better than some even worse ones floating around these days.

  Good to know that our morning prayers don't disrupt your morning shaving routine.
