Does Kaur mean princess or crown prince?

Some have been claiming Kaur actually means crown prince and not princess so when Guru Gobind singh ji created the Khalsa and named baptised Sikh men as Singh as lions he is then allegedly have baptised Sikh women as kaurs meaning crown prince (according to feminist revisionists) and not princess?

I find that an absurd notion. The correct and logical meaning has always been kaur means princess because of the gender differences and Guru Ji knew that women preferred to beautify themselves and raise the family and men liked to be the protector and hunter for the family/community. But it seems people are determined to twist sikhi to suit their own anti-nature feminist agenda. I've checked many of the sources from where these people tried to link kaur with rajastani words like kanwar,etc and none of them add up or make logical sense.

I'm not sure that's the case. Bhai Jagraj Singh ji said that in his videos and he said that "Kaur" Shabad came from Kooar which comes from Kumar. It's another way of seeing what Khalse should be like.

Theres several theories where the word "kaur" came from. But I like to think Guru Ji created it as a special title for baptised Sikh females. If we go by the logic it came from kumar or kanwar or some other indian language word then why didnt he just create "singhniya" or let sikh females be refered to as singhs aswell as the men.

It stands to reason there was logic behind why they were princesses because they were to be seen as royality as beautiful women that men would have to honour and protect.

    • 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.
