I know of people who had darshan of Sri guru hargobind sahib Ji maharaj and they said he was close to 7'2 to 7'6.He was also described as very tall in suraj prkash Granth.I have also seen guru jis chola and it was HUGE!!!He had to be at least 7'2.I also had the darshan of his shield and shastars and they would be best fitted for a 7'6 person.

Guru gobind Singh Ji had to be at least 6'2 because how would he have carried his big and heavy shastars?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Bhai Bachittar Singh was 4' 11" or 5' 1-2" and he used a nagani barsha and pierced very, very thick reinforced armor.

I know Guru Hargobind Sahib was very tall like you said because of his kashera and chola. I read somewhere on SS about a claim that Guru Gobind Singh Sahib was 5' 10-11" and was able to use two kirpans to slice an arrow from close and long range.

Maybe this over 7ft comes from people that have had darshan.

From what I have learned is that when Guru's or anyone gives darshan they are on an astral plane that is a few ft above our normal ground.

So, the one getting darshan ends up looking up slightly with head tilted back.

There is an actual scientific name for this astral plane but I can't remember.

I also learnt that it applies to everyone, even gorey that have had darshan of Jesus ..buddhists with buddha....etc..etc..

But overall, I reckon that he was taller than 6ft but maybe not upto 7ft !

I read (sorry - cannot recall source - may have been Dr Gupta's History of the Sikhs) that Guru Gobind Singh was 5'9" as judged from his weoponry, especially the mutth of his tulwars/ kirpans. Puratan shastars have seemingly tight fitting mutths so the weopon is firmly in grasp, so this may be an underestimate. Secondly hand size varies inconsistently with height.

    • 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.
