A] Yes she has to take her Kirpan off. It is best to put the Kirpan in your checked in baggage (i.e. your suitcase). I know of a few people who handed over their kirpans to airline staff, they were told they would get them back at their destination. Surprisingly they never saw their kirpans again.

B] When you hand your passport over at the immigration desk watch that the officers do not tear any pages from your passport (this applies to when you enter and leave Indian airports). Also check your passport after airline staff have looked at it. If you are travelling on an Indian passport make sure the airline/immigration staff do not tear any pages with indefinite stay stamps / visas for foreign countries. This has been happening.

C] If anyone asks for money or harrasses a passenger ask to speak to the airport manager. The telephone number for the airport manager is 01125696579

delhi airport is a joke.. heard many stories about it and i have one of my own..

2 yrs ago .. when i went to india.. on the way back i forgot to take my kirpan off .. i know it was bright early in the morning i was prob on crack :doh: @ ..anyway ..

guess what.. i went through all secruity without them catching my kirpan ..lol.. but then stupid russians made me take it off when i had to switch planes at russia... :)

anyway ya.. you have to take your kirpan off.. just do ardas before packing it with luggage.. DO NOT try to get through, because if they catch it and then you have to take it off, they will ship it in with no care, and its like beadbi.. so ya .. take it off before you go ..

Thats what i have been told, if any kakar gets seperated from you APART FROM YOUR KACHERA dont eat or drink anything until you are reunited with it, then do a japji sahib path and do an ardas

get a set of Kesh'e Shastar, u can get em from nihangs.

its a kara with 4 peaces of 'toora' (iron rope) with a teer, kirpan, khanda and a baaz on each end.

with this tied in with ur kesh, u can remove ur kara and kirpan if needed.

Is that OK for non Nihangs ?

I remember years ago that a few local people used to wear them necklaces with a kirpan, kanga etc on them and they used to say that they did not have to wear a proper kirpan because they had it on a necklace. I always found it very amusing and think well why not sew a small kachera and put that on a necklace and then you can go freelance or just wear ready made underwear.

    • 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!!
