Why were the leaders of and followers of taksaal always holding a shastar in their hands? Sant kartar Singh Ji sant Jarnail Singh Ji sant gurbachan Singh Ji all had shastar in their hands... why is this? Is it part of some taksaali rehat? It isn't specified in their rehat for them to be holding one all the time and yet they've all done it?

because all gursikhs are supposed to be shastardhari and ready for any sewa at any moment, look at their character they were outspoken , fearless and held their word's honour , were the panth's ultimate sewaks . whereas I cannot remember seeing Harnam SIngh in a single photo holding any form of shastar ...

as far sants go - would it not have hindered their sewa on a practical level? how can you wash pande or make roti etc with a huge shastar in your hand im sure it would hinder your sewa on a practical level? i understand they could out them in gathras but seldom were taksaali singhs carrying gatras for their handheld shastars. they were almost alwyas holding them in their hands and it would be disrespectful to put them on the floor so how would they do sewa properly if they cant put them in gatras as well?

heres a few pictures of the sants with their shastar in their hands and clear signs of no 2ndary gatra

i am in no way sayin that they should not do this because i wanna do it too but i just cant get my head round how on earth they would sewa with such huge shastar when it's clearly gonna be held in your hand the whole time

Carrying a shastar in taksal has only been started since the time of sant gurbachan singh. Before that, the taksal jathedar did no carry shastar other than their gatrey vali kirpan(baba deep singh and baba gurbaksh singh were also jathedars of tarna dal, hence why they carried it). The taksal is actually a branch of nirmaley but after sant sundar singh, sant gurbachan singh became jathedar, but before becoming jathedar sant gurbachan singh was actually a nihang. He took amrit and stayed in budha dal. After becoming jathedar he kept his budha dal roots and carried shastar, tied a blue dumala etc.

isn't rehit of two kirpans also part of nihang rehit or was it general rehit for purataan khalsa ?

Rehit was for panj shastar. In the panj shastar there is kirpan, teer kaman, katar, barsha and gun

I think there is some serious logic issue here. The next time, you might be like that how do they hold the das granthi gutka/ panj granthi gutka. It is simple, you place your shastar at a clean and high place, or hand it to a singh, or simply leave it in your house/room when you know you are going to do sewa.

    • 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.
