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 .

    • Uncle, realistically are you gonna challenge it in real life? I could fully jhatka and eat a steak wearing Bana bilkul tere samne but on God you could do nothing about that 😂
    • Flintstone Saab, can't you type in one message? Or must you drop the full Godfather trilogy with every response, minimum 3 responses? 1) They don't jhatka cows at Hazur Sahib because it's in a country called "India", in a state called "Maharashtra" - and beef is strictly illegal there 2) I said a quote from Adi/Dasam Granth saying "you can't eat beef" - "protection of cows" could be Maharaj talking about defending them for Hindus, same reason we do Aarti-Aarta. If u reference a quote, u gotta say the context of the verse. Otherwise there are verses in SGGS Ji which seemingly tell you to convert to Islam; of course that's not what Maharaj is saying but without context many quotes from Baani seem misleading 3) Why does 90% of your "evidence" come from living people, like "the head of Taruna Dal" or "Baba Pala Singh" - very rarely (like less than 10%) of it is from the Gurus' direct words. Do you realise that these people are humans with flaws/bias? Maharaj ended the line of human Gurus for a reason 4) Funnily enough, even Budha Dal's maryada in the Sundar gutka does not ban beef. If individual Akaalis taboo it, that doesn't mean it's the actual hukam lol 5) You mention Naamdharis guarding cows but they are also vegetarians who do not carry a kirpan and say Guru Granth Sahib Ji is not a Guru - using them as an example is funny 😂   6) Bro who uses "diapers" and "mate" in the same sentence? 😂 Man really tried sounding like Andrew Tate with the British/American accent mix 7) So you're about 30 years old and still beefing strangers online? Brooooo where's your MOTHER, did Aunty Ji never shout you away from ur keyboard? "Oy Flentstone puttar, thalle aa hun, roti ban gyi!!!!" 8 ) Wait since you're some Uncle, how do you balance work life with ur keyboard warrior shift? Or do u just sit vailah at home, like unemployed? SERIOUS QUESTION: Is your account rank on this forum the only thing on your CV ?😂😂😂  9) Can you imagine Maharaj condoning you calling me names like "mughal"? You keep reading about these "heads of Taruna Dal" but you need to google "Guru Nanak Dev Ji's teachings on kindness and anger" instead - you're basically trying to solve degree level maths equations when you can't even understand "1 + 1 = 2"  (prediction - I bet he's gonna respond debating one little detail of this post like my joke about accents, but fully miss the bigger picture, or get upset again. He also will likely reference another "sant" or author, or pull a random quote completely out of context😂)

    • Shame if our past these modern days jatts sgpc lost are . One question I have is...where were the Nihangs and the anti jar Seva when anandgarh was town down and kshgarh remade to what it is now....mughals couldn't even destroy the qila. Yet we did at multiple places with our own hands..shame on sangat flr not stopping precious ones and lakh lanat to the destructors of Sikh puratan asthaans all these kar Seva babeh of the past 
    • Reason behind it is.  You can't get mass sangat in to fill the golak up.... that's why they are all the same in design etc .probs some mafia rAcket related to the mass marbeling of gurughars. Such a shame. Hardly any pictures of the original anandgar qila..only one in the toor collection
