kirpan has powers beyond this realm. It is the power of akal purakh himself. Akal purakh is in the shastar held by a rehatdhari gursikh.

kirpan will scare away any oppressors or tyrants and is used for the protection of the weak. this is one of its main uses as a symbol.

more practical uses.. kirpan can be used to kill a bhoot or pret or scare it away.. it can be used when someone attacks you with a knife or switchblade.. kirpan is used for bhog, if you are rehatdhari and have a good sized sarbloh kirpan handy, you can do this seva...

there are many other uses which i cannot remember or do not want to get into..

oh i didnt know it was actually used. i have seen the bhog thing though. i thought it wasn't sharp enough though. i would rather use pepper spray or some non fatal gun for safety instead of a kirpan because i cant imagine using a kirpan. not that i think i need to keep something like that because i trust that God will keep me safe. and the bhoots??? that's very interesting. do bhoots try to do things to people that dont deserve payback?

Let me give one example.. i was away from home for one day.. In the morning, i figured out that i forgot my toiletry stuff (like comb, brush etc..) Main thing was to comb my hair before wearing turban.. so i was like.. arghhh.. but then suddenly i remember i have kanga on me grin.gif so it saved my day.. see small things like this matters and most of the time we don't notice these stuff.. Our guru jeee took care of every small thing..

As regarding of kirpan.. It's there for your defense.. And you know it's always on you :D

One can't carry pepper spray or other gadget along with you forever.. you know what i mean jeee.. So kirpan is with you to protect yourself and others..

My Panj piyarey didn't told about specific kirpan size.. but they approved the one i choose to wear..

well ive got an experience.. was coming back to my uni from gurd one night on a local bus. I was the only girl in the bus as my uni is the last stop. They were 2 guys in the bus (of course excluding the driver). And they started disturbing me. Luckily I had my 9" sarbloh kirpan with me that i just took out and showed to them. They got down at the next stop :D if i was wearing a 3/4/5" kirpan I dont think they would have got scared.

I totally agree with few of the posts here that if you know how to wear your kirpan properly people wont even know that you are wearing one. I have been travelling on flights with my kirpan without bein detected (im not speaking abt domestic flights im talking about international flights) M not trying to blow my own trumpet (but hey if i can do it i bet you all can surely do it too) :D Dont remove your kirpan or opt to wear a smaller one (you never know when you will need it )

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
