You can wear a 12 inch kirpan under your shirt pretty well without anyone even knowing its there, dont worry about the laws, just wear it gupt.

I totally agree with this, this is exactly what i was gonna say..

also, I wear illegal shastars all the time wherever i go, even in stores, nobody says anything, of course im smart about it, i dont parade them around..

You can wear you kirpan anywhere, just dont make a big deal of it or show it off...

I beleive your panj told you at least 9" so you should stick to that :nihungsmile:

my punj didnt specify any size.... so i just wear a 5 inch one around....and wats the point of wearin a big shri sahib if you dont know how to use it..most singhs/singhnis that wear it dont even know how to use it...it defeats the sole purpose of a kirpan, it then becomes more of a symbol rather than a weapon....weather its 3 inchs or 12 inches...if u know how to use it, u can do damage regardless of the size..

Hum paapi.. lets say you are a singhnee and you have a 9" kirpan, you know it comes out, and its pretty clean, but have never used it, and have never taken any gatka courses (but have seen people do gatka).

Lets say you are walking home one night around 9pm in the big city, its dark. Some guy in a mask comes up behind you intending to do something bad to you. You pull out your 9" sri sahib, guru sahibs light.

The attacker sees you with a big thing looking like a butcher knife, hes going to get scared, if not, stab at him with it.. 90% of attackers are oppurtunists, just seeing a shastar will scare them away and they will know thats not an oppurtinity.

if you were to pull out a small 4" or 5" kirpan they might think its a swiss army knife and will probably laugh, or try to take it. size does matter, especially if you dont know how to use it.

kirpan is quite an interesting thing. most people that do wear it keep it under their clothes. i find that kind of pointless because the whole point of it is for a nishani that u are sikh. knowing u have it on doesnt tell u much because u already know how much of a sikh u are inside. i say u should either wear it outside or not wear it at all. also that necklace with the kirpan on it is pretty stupid too

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
