Fitness Exercises Used By Erstwhile Khalsa Army


Recommended Posts

Guru Hargobind Ji was known for his great wrestling ability. So more than likely wrestling related exercises (e.g. Dand Behtaks) would have formed a mainstay of the Khalsa fauj.

Does anyone have any idea about how good kettlebells would be for building super strength and how to buy the ones that would be the perfect match for u - heavy so that they stress you muscles but not so heavy that you are not able to work out and waste your money . They should nt be light at all else they wont be any use

I have a recorded Katha about Sri Guru Hargobind Singh Ji and how much of an amazing warrior he was. It is said he was very large in height and his pat (leg thighs) were comparable to the size of a man. The kashera of Guru Sahib was huge.

I'll upload it later, it might have some useful info in it.

Yes Please . Someone wrote in a book that Guru Gobind Singh Ji was not tall enough . So i find it a bit strange that Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji was tall and Guru Gobind Singh Ji was nt so .

Sahib Guru Gobind Singh Ji was tall but he wasn't as tall as Guru Hargobind Sahib ji.

Guru Gobind Singh Ji was able to use two kirpans to slice arrows during combat, Guru Ji was an amazing swordsman and bowman. There's a reason two assassins sent by the Mughals failed. One failed and got killed by Guru Ji and the other ran off and got killed by Singhs outside the tent.

Wow ! But height doesnt have much to do with combat skills

When you say failed. I have read that Guru Ji did survive the attack but was wounded, which lead to Sat Guru Ji's physical body leaving this world a short time later. Is that what you meant by failed?

They failed, Guru Ji was antar jami all knowing.

He prepared before he was going to leave and could have got the wound restitched after his wound opened up while stringing the bow no Singh at the camp could string.

    • 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.
