No this is not true, there are only 3 times where someone can take out their Kirpan from their sheath, 1. To defend your self or someone else, 2. To clean it or something like that, 3. To do bhog of karah prasad.

So my cousin who has Kirpan on him told me that he cannot pull it out because if he does he will have to shed blood with it or cut himself with it. Is this true?

I’ve heard this before, but never saw anywhere in Maryada or Rehatnama where this is written.

thank you for the clarification, i have a feeling that my cousin was told this by my granny, i know she means well but she even tells me somethings regarding Sikhi that don't make sense or have basis in Sikhi like she has told me tht i should sleep on the side so when i wake up the first thing i will see is picture of Guru Gobind Singh Ji.

Sikhs shouldn’t have any pictures of the Gurus if we are going according to Gurmat. In fact, the Mughal records of Sikhs stated that at our Gurdwaras, there weren’t any pictures of the Gurus.

I don't see an issue with Gurus' pictures.

All of the Gurus pictures are not real, once Guru Sahib had a painter who could paint most of Guru Sahib on his canvas, but when Guru Sahib’s face came the Painter couldn’t even see the face. Guru Sahib then explained that he isn’t the body, but rather the spirit. Guru Sahib finished the painting though. 
 

I don’t think the Bhai Sobha Singh’s paintings are legit. Nanaksar is a bit closer, as Baba Nand Singh saw Guru Sahib.

Many people bow to pictures of the gurus which is wrong and it is idolatry and why would you have a picture of the guru if the guru is already in there, see Guru Granth Sahib Ji as Guru Gobind Singh Ji, Guru Granth Sahib Ji has the light of the 10 gurus in them, why would you need a picture to represent the 10 gurus if they are already here?

I have been told that Mahapurkh Sant Kishan Singh ji of Rara Sahib told Sangat in UK that Bhai Sobha Singh ji's pictures were the best representation of what the Gurus looked like.

    • It doesn't matter. What the nihangs did 100 years ago has no relevance today. Because people fight differently now. As a karate black belt, 90% of what we learn is useless, cos it revolves around how people fought 100 years ago. Today, most teenage boys likely to cause fights (at least in the uk) do boxing. But when boxing was really popular, people used to throw punches, hence why the "man to man fist fight" image was there. But now that UFC is popular, people do all sorts like grappling, knees and all (even with no training).  And also, I highly doubt anyone ever attacked a nihang Singh unarmed back then, just by seeing their saroop with shastaraan. What they did do, however, was Loh Mushti but that was more of a sport than a combat system. They definitely would have trained in basic fighting like wrestling and strikes but not a system. Because any good fighter knows that trying to find a "code" to fight by is stupid. But in terms of unarmed fighting, it was rare and probably revolved around disarming an armed attacker (do NOT even attemp to learn that, you will get killed and there's no point even trying to learn).   If you're interested for historical/ preservation purposed then great, but if you want to learn it for self defense or fighting tactics then pls don't, because what worked then won't work now and Nihangs were probably quite limited in hand to hand combat training cos they're armed to the teeth, deterring any unarmed attacker and killing one if they tried to fight
    • i tie punjabi but u gotta iron it unless its starched
    • how does he starch it? and how long does it work b4 he needs to tie it again
    • ik i'm late by 5 years lol but u need starch. That'll keep the larrs thick and u won't even have to tie it each time (you still can if u want to bro, but it'll keep the fold shut which is good). They look crisper aswell
