Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

Sangat Ji, Maharaaj Kirpa I have recently started tying a dumalla as opposed to an African style pagh. Would it be for an 'average' Sikh to wear a Chand and Sringaar in their Dumalla? I say 'average' as I don't consider myself a Nihang Singh, I just love their roop that Dasmeh Patshah has blessed us with.

Of course you can wear it!
Shastars are not limited to a certain Samparda/Jathebandi.

Nihang Singh or not, you can wear any shastar you like and no one will say anything. If they do, just ignore them.

Thanks for your response Singh. I had thought was the case, I just wanted to make sure there wasn't any special significance to them like there is with the farla.

More important than displaying shastar or aad Chand etc on dumallas is learning how to use shastar, shastar abiyaas, shastar vidiya, jungi vidiya.

Don't become a paper Kkalsa like the sad reality of amritdharees today, walking around with stylised dumallas even wearing chakkars etc... but their kirpans and Sri sahib's are blunt and nothing more than ceremonial...majority of them have absolutely no idea how to utilise these shastar.

Even though combat training and Shastar vidiya is a compulsory part of Khalsa maryada it is sadly neglected, to the point of near extinction...

I do agree with you that walking around with a kirpan as a talisman with no respect at all for it as a weapon is stupid. 

I would, however, add the caveat that I don't think that you have to be the absolute best swordfighter in the world, bar none, in order to carry a kirpan at all. (Though I don't think you were taking it that far.)

    • 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.
