Should The Amrit Process And Kirpans Be Vetted And Licenced?


Recommended Posts

How will it be practical for anyone to vet and licence the select few from millions of Sikhs ? Since we all live in mixed secular societies, the only right for Sikhs should be to carry a blunt and small mock kirpan that cannot hurt anyone. We are not living in medieval times.

A relative of mine (non-Sikh) was involved in a traffic incident with a kirpan wielding Sikh in a rage. He managed to escape alive from that incident but why should he have had to face such danger. It is grossly unfair that a section of the population should be allowed to carry dangerous weapons.

totally agree, it shouldnt be one rule for some and different rules for others. turban wearing people should be exempt from crash helmets tho, if they dont want to wear one because that is at their own risk.

No one is suggesting governments be allowed to vet who can and cannot wear the kirpan. This is an internal sikh religious matter and only Sikhs have the right to decide on how to go about this.

The dangers of allowing just any random rahul, tom or davinder get hold of kirpan via amrit ceremony by wearing dastaar and keeping kesh without the right gyan and respect of siri sahib is pretty obvious. If the kirpan is misused they can do alot of damage to the Sikh identity and our rights to wear this important and valued article of faith.

Therefore in my view it is important the amrit ceremony is made to a very high standard before kirpans are dished out so that only those with sound judgement and mind are given this honour.

There are some scummy brahminwad hindustanis and ravidassia extremists out there (even covert members of this forum) who want the kirpan banned for their own racist religious and political agenda's. Therefore we should not give any reason for the enemies of Sikhi to use any excuse against our rights and religious freedoms.

surely a kirpan can be bought somehow by anyone? also a paag, kara etc etc. how would licensing help?

    • 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.
