Kirpan/Kara


Recommended Posts

Daas would say that the average size kirpan people wearis around 5inchs, and I also heard that anything smaller than 3inch is not classed as a kirpan. (Sangat jee please correct me if I'm wrong) Just make sure that your kirpan is sharp, good quality and sarbloh (iron) after all it is guru jees gift to us! But please don't get egoistical that my kirpan is better than yours.

Kara should just be sarbloh and make sure there is no Bani written on the kara as that is beadbi.

Gold and Platinum?!?! Waheguru!!! :doh: what about the amritdhari Sikhs in your area do they wear them too?

I've heard the chakkar of Baba Deep Singh Ji had bani on it and some Sikh armor also had bani in it. I guess chakkar could be different in that it's on the dastaar, but it would be thrown in war though, right?

Bani on a chakaar is fine, because it is placed in your dumalla. But look at a kara how many times the kara ends up touching the floor.As you can never guarantee that won't happen. Having that happen with Bani onthe kara wouldn't be the best of ideas!

And if you have darshaan of Baba Deep Singh Jees Shaster at Akal Thakat then the Charkars which have bani on them are of a small size. And the larger Chakars have no bani on them, which would be used in battle. After all it is Baba Deep Singh Jee.

Wearing a Kara with Bani on it is not for a normal person! Well daas would never wear one, would love to have it as a gift, but not for practical use.

Does anybody know if there is an officially accepted minimum length?

Why do people such as Sant Ji and others wear two karas on each hand is there a special meaning to this? I will have to find out what amritdharis do here i never paid attention to what they wear.

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
