Semantics Of Word ,kach'-one Of Our Mahaan Punj Kakaars!


Recommended Posts

Sanskrit and persian dictionaries help us in understand Gurbani but the final authority of the meaning of a word for a sikh is the way it is used in Gurbani.

for example: the word kirpaan is made from Kirpaa and Aan and we can see meanings of Kirpaa and Aan from dictionaries. But to understand the meaning of word 'kirpaan' we have to read Gurbani. Kirpaan means a sword that is used for doing 'kirpaa' and protecting 'aan'.

What are Punj Kakaars?

Just as Dumalla Parkash by Baba Fateh Singh was the Roop of Akaal Purakh. Similarly the Punj Kakaars are part of God-approved Uniform of his loved ones. Punj Kakaars are for both for saints and soldiers.

Significance of Kakaar- Kach

1. Saintly significance of Kach is that it represents high moral character and and a symbol that adultery is a big Haraam(sin)

2. Soldierly significance of Kach is it represents HONOUR. Brahm Kavach is a Mahaan gupt baani of Khalsa Panth and Satguru ji has used the word 'Kach' for honour of a warrior in battlefield.
