The Karai on SK are not the same as the cheaper mass maufactured ones Shastar man used to sell.

These karai are professionally hand made using the highest quality steel and the finished to perfection. They are made to measure, not whatever fits you best. Its these exact kinds of budget Punjabi attitutes, that has caused a decline in our Gyaan, Kirtan, Architecture, Literature to name just a few areas. Weapons produced by the Sikh mainstream are laughable in quality and practicality.

In the old days, a Singhs most expensive possessions were his shastar. He would get them hand made, to measure, in the highest quality and craftsmanship he could afford. The tears of the singhs who had to give up their prized possessions after teh 2nd Anglo sikh war are commemorated by the Biritsh eye witnesses who saw this sad day . Since then, Sikhs have never been able to claim back that great tradition of producnig the highest quality shastar.

It seems that when ever apne make an earnest effort to bring quality to the Panth, all hell is raised. People have made Sikhi in many aspects... cheap.

Every Singh who truly honours shatar should happily invest in and support those that procude quality shastar. And then they should do satkaar of those shastar and learn how to use them 'realistically' to a high level.

I agree, but a kara is not the same as a fine quality damascus steel bladed Kirpan etc. Shastar Mans Karas were very good value for money. The Karas on Shastar Khajana definitely look better quality with a better finish they are still overpriced though...I mean come on 50 quid for a Kara ?? Thats just called profiteering

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
