sat sri akal. i've had a bit of a problem recently and i needed some help and i've been directed here. i'm planning on attending an amrit sanchar to be blessed with amrit in the summer and i'm also going to turn pro playing football professionally. where would i put my kirpan when i play? do i tie a small one around my neck or tie one around my thigh or keep one in my dastar? what do i do when i'm playing?

thank you

If you are talking about soccer then all you do is shorten your Gathra. You don't need to cut the original. You know how undercover cops wear their holsters when they are not dressed like officers. Same thing make sure you have your Kirpan in your under arms.

I don't think I can do that. Players barging me and me barging them can be very harmful. The English game is very physical and especially on the big stages I don't want any come back of my kirpan being banned and not letting me play. Is it okay if I wear one around my neck?

It is a kirpan not a janeu.

It sounds like you want to wear a 9" Kirpan. I mean I play all types of sports my daughter when she was in her teens played and so did my son we all wore probably a 3" Kirpan. It just I don't believe in wearing those kirpans around your neck. Rest is up to you what you feel is right.

I recommend that you do not wear necklace kirpans. Many people are against it.

I'd suggest if the kirpan is medium or large you can tuck it into your pants, it stops it from flying around.

You can keep one in your dastar if you wish.

Some people also take it off and do an ardas later but it's not really recommended just incase a Singh/Singhni see's it in a different way and starts a public scandal

rules in pro football probably wont allow me to play with a  kirpan as it can be dangerous for myself if i fall but also for other people if they barge and tackle me plus there will be many people watching and i don't want to spark conversations about whether a sikh should be running around with a knife etc. what if i find a really really small kirpan and wear that instead? i have found a tiny 3 inch one that i can wear and that will be fine but i need to find a gatra for it and i dont think any gatra will fit that. can i just use any straps as a gatra or do they have to be a certain type? i have a laptop bag strap that i can add the kirpan to but i don't know if that''s allowed by sikhi.

OP Brother,

why don't you wear a travel kirpan three inch size inside your dastar , will there be a problem with your kara too ? if so I'm sure you can also wear it inside your bunga.

my sons used take their chain kirpans and put them up this way for school matches because chains with kirpans were deemed unsafe ...once they did this no hassles.

Little one wears thick longer length wrist sweatband over her kara for football practice .

    • 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.
