It is one of the five kakars or 5Ks — external articles of faith — that identify a Sikh as dedicated to their religious order. The kara was instituted by the tenth Sikh guru Gobind Singh at the Baisakhi Amrit Sanskar in 1699. Guru Gobind Singh Ji explained:He does not recognise anyone else except me, not even the bestowal of charities, performance of merciful acts, austerities and restraint on pilgrim-stations; the perfect light of the Lord illuminates his heart, then consider him as the immaculate Khalsa.The kara is to constantly remind the Sikh disciple to do God's work, a constant reminder of the Sikh's mission on this earth and that he or she must carry out righteous and true deeds and actions, keeping with the advice given by the Guru. The Kara is a symbol of unbreakable attachment and commitment to God. It is in the shape of a circle which has no beginning and no end, like the eternal nature of God. It is also a symbol of the Sikh brotherhood. As the Sikhs' holy text the Guru Granth Sahib says "In the tenth month, you were made into a human being, O my merchant friend, and you were given your allotted time to perform good deeds." Similarly, Bhagat Kabir reminds the Sikh to always keep one's consciousness with God: "With your hands and feet, do all your work, but let your consciousness remain with the Immaculate Lord."The basic kara is a simple unadorned steel bracelet, but other forms exist. It was historically used like a knuckle-duster for hand-to-hand combat. Battlefield variations include kara with spikes or sharp edges. Sikh soldiers of the British Indian army would settle disputes by competing in a form of boxing known as loh-musti (lit. iron fist) with a kara on one hand.

Brilliant finish and very decorative.

Ideal gift item for loved ones on all occasions.

#now im wondering what you'd do for the sikh version. a really big sword? (via @professorsparklepants)

So, to preface, I have absolutely no idea who/what Jewish Wolfwood is/was, but I do know a little bit about Sikhism. Disclaimer: I am not a practicing Sikh, but my extended family was and I've taken time to research the religion because I was raised culturally Punjabi Sikh.

Big sword? That's a possibility. I personally wouldn't, because the kirpan is usually a tiny dagger. It can technically be up to 2.5 ft long, but it's usually more like 10 inches long now. So I'd suggest not a giant sword.

The other four of the five Ks can be ruled out pretty quickly. Kesh? Impractical to keep just for the purposes of an anime con. Kachera? You're not supposed to show off your undies. Kara? Can't be oversized and isn't a commonly known symbol of Sikhism. Kangha? Not going to be easily recognized as something Sikh.

Wearing a turban, at least in America, would have someone think you're Muslim (it has happened multiple times that Sikh people were targeted and killed in Islamophobic hate crimes because they wore the turban as part of keeping kesh), so recognizably Sikh but linked to a false stereotype.

Which brings me to my suggestion: the khanda.

It's recognizably Sikh and it's basically the Sikh version of the Star of David in terms of how it's used.

So anyhow, Sikh Wolfwood should carry a giant khanda around.

The Initiation Of Khalsa

Guru Nanak Dev Ji founded the Sikh religion in Northern India in the fifteenth century, and it is the world's fifth-largest religion, with 25 million adherents worldwide. The religion believes in a single God, equality, religious freedom, and community service. Sikhs adhere to three basic principles: meditating on God's name (praying), earning a living through honest means, and sharing the fruits of one's labor with others. Sikhism opposes caste and class systems and places a premium on humanitarian service. The universality of the Sikh way of life reaches out to people of all faiths and cultural backgrounds, encouraging us to look beyond our differences and work together for global peace and harmony.

The Initiation Of Khalsa

Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth and last living Sikh Guru, summoned his followers to the Punjab town of Anandpur in 1699; over 80,000 people attended. Guru Gobind Singh, according to legend, appeared before his people, brandished a naked sword, and demanded a head. He called again and again until five Sikhs volunteered. He called the volunteers the Panj Pyare and the first Khalsa in the Sikh tradition. These five volunteers were : Daya Ram (Bhai Daya Singh), Dharam Das (Bhai Dharam Singh), Himmat Rai (Bhai Himmat Singh), Mohkam Chand (Bhai Mohkam Singh), and Sahib Chand (Bhai Sahib Singh)

Guru Gobind Singh then mixed water and sugar into an iron bowl, stirring it with a double-edged sword while reciting gurbani to prepare what he called Amrit ("nectar"). He then administered this to the Panj Pyare, accompanied with recitations from the Adi Granth, thus founding the khanda ki pahul (baptism ceremony) of a Khalsa – a warrior community. After the first five Khalsa had been baptized, the Guru asked the five to baptize him as a Khalsa. This made the Guru the sixth Khalsa, and his name changed from Guru Gobind Rai to Guru Gobind Singh. On that day, he gave the Sikhs a distinct identity, including five articles of faith that he introduced for a variety of reasons:

1. Adopting these common symbols would allow Khalsa members to be identified.

2. Because all Khalsa members wear the 5 Ks, the community is more strongly linked together.

3. Each K is significant in its own way.

The Meaning Of Five Ks

The 5 Ks are taken together to symbolize that the Sikh who wears them has dedicated themselves to a life of devotion and submission to the Guru. The 5 Ks are 5 physical symbols worn by Sikhs who have been initiated into the Khalsa. They are: Kesh (Uncut hair) Kara (Iron bracelet) Kanga (a wooden comb) Kachera (cotton underwear) Kirpan (steel sword)

1. Kesh (Uncut Hair)

It is a prominent symbol of Sikh identity. Uncut hair represents the adoption of a simple life and the rejection of pride in one's appearance. Throughout Sikhism's history, hair (kesh) has been regarded as a symbol of both holiness and strength. Long hair is considered proof of a devout Sikh's devotion and a sign of a Sikh's commitment and devotion to his/her Guru.

2. Kara (Iron Bracelet)

SKara represents unbreakable attachment and devotion to God. It serves as a constant reminder of the Sikh's mission on this planet, and that he or she must carry out righteous and true deeds and actions in accordance with the Guru's advice. The round shape of the Kara represents God, who has no beginning and no end.....

Bana - Sikh Spiritual Attire

Bana is the word for the traditional spiritual attire of a Sikh. ​Many Sikhs wear ceremonial bana when attending worship programs and ritual ceremonies at the gurdwara, or during holidays and festivals. Very devout Sikhs may wear bana of traditional colours every day.

Chola - Sikh Warrior Attire

A chola is the name of a particular style of bana worn traditionally by Sikh warriors. It is a kind of dress or robe which has a wide flared skirt made with panels to allow for freedom of movement. A famous story tells how Guru Har Rai, snagged his chola on a rose bush, and the lesson of self-mastery it entailed.

Hajoori

The hajoori (hazoori) neckcloth may be a narrow strip of turban cloth or other fine cloth about 2 meters or yards in length. The hajoori may be from 8 to 12 inches wide or the full width of turban cloth. It is usually white, but may occasionally be orange. The hajoori is worn by most ragis or katha performers on stage at gurwara programs. It is also worn by Nihang warriors and many Singhs or Singhis who sing kirtan. The Hajoori is also worn while reading devotional paath, preparing and serving langar or prashad. It's either wrapped or held to loosely cover the mouth.

Jutti - Footwear

Footwear is removed before entering a gurdwara worship hall. Although western styles are worn, many Sikhs still wear the traditional Punjabi style slipper known as a Jutti. These are made of leather, embellished with embroidery, and may sport a curl up toe. Initially, both slippers in a set are identical and must be worn for a while to conform to the left or right foot.

Kakar - Required Articles of Sikh Faith

The kakar are the five articles of faith:

Kachhera - Loose undergarment

Kanga - Wooden comb

Kara - Iron Bangle

Kes - Unshorn hair

Kirpan - Ceremonial short sword

An initiated Sikh is required to keep the kakar on the body at all times, day and night, regardless of circumstances.

Khanda - Embellishment of Sikh Emblem

The khanda is an emblem representing the Khalsa crest, or Sikh coat of arms. It consists of a double edge sword in the center, a circlet, and two swords. A khanda embellishment may be appliquéd, or embroidered on ceremonial Sikh clothing, or worn as a turban pin.

Kurti

Kurti is traditional casual wear worn by both men and women. Fabrics include all cotton and synthetic materials. Styles include various lengths from about mid hip to just above the knee. Sleeves can be full length, three-quarters, half sleeve, or short. Men's kurti tend to be plain white, solid colours, striped, hatched, and prints. Women's kurti range from plain white, and solid colours with contrasting embroidery often along with appliqué, to multi-colored patterns and prints

Kurta Pajama - Sikh Men's Wear

Kurta pajama is Sikh men's wear. A Kurta is a kind of long tailored shirt with side slits up to the pocket. A kurta may have a finished or straight edge cuffs and a rounded or straight hem. The pajama is a loose pant often made of fabric to match the kurta. The very devout wear simple styles in solid colours to express humility.

Salvar Kamees - Sikh Women's Wear

Salvar Kamees is Sikh women's wear. Salvars are baggy loose fitting pants with ankle cuffs called ponche. The salvar is worn beneath the kamees, a dress top which is available in as many styles as there is imagination, and colour, often decorated with embroidery. The color of the salvar and kamees may match or contrast. They are worn with a colour coordinated matching or contrasting chunni or dupatta. The very devout tend to wear simple prints or solid colours with a little embroidery, as an expression of humility.

Shastar - Weaponry

In addition to the required kirpan, various types of Shastar weaponry may adorn traditional Khalsa warrior attire. Siri Sahib is a term of respect applied to a sizable kirpan. A chakar is often used to adorn a turban. A gurj is a kind of spiky mace historically used in battle and worn at the waist. A singh might also carry a teer in the form of a ceremonial spear or an arrow.

Turban - Headwear of a Sikh

The Sikh turban is worn in a variety of styles. Required wear for a Sikh man, a turban is optional for a Sikh woman who may choose instead to wear a scarf, alone, or over a turban.

Turban styles:

Domalla - Double length turban of 10 or more yards

Pagri - Double width turban of five to six yards

Dastar - A single turban of four to six yards

Keski - A short turban of two or three yards

Patka - A square of half to one yard tied over the joora (top knot) and head

Fifty - A half yard worn beneath turban

Reference in day to day faith of khanda sword:

-       5ks; Kesh (uncut hair), Kara (a steel bracelet), Kanga (a wooden comb) Kaacha (a certain type of underwear) and the Kirpan (ceremonial sword) – Sikhs have to wear these items at all times.

-       Kirpan > small knife worn either in the hair, on a chain around the neck or in a sheath and it is given in order to give back a sense of their own sovereignty by giving people the ability to defend

-       At Baptism, the Khanda is used to stir the water that the Sikhs are blessed with. It was used in the first baptism. The 10th Guru started the baptism of Sikhs: Guru Gobind Sing.  A Sikh cannot be baptised without the Khanda sword mixing the water.

-       Joojhaar attributes Guru Gobind Sing to creating the Sikh identity as he was a poet. Joojhaar calls him master of the sword and master of the pen. Only when all other avenues had failed was it permissible to pick up the sword.  

[year3gurveerpadhal]

The box and source image. A Portrait of  guru Gobind Singh Ji,  The last of our Ten Gurus and the founder of The  Khalsa which means the pure. He is the Guru that Introduced the 5 Ks that insighted that Every Sikh (which in 1699 meant you where going to be a warrior for the sikh army against the Mughal empire) and you must grow your hair out, Kesh, wear a steel band (Kara), Wear cotton under garment (Kachera), Carry a wooden comb (Kanga) And lastly You must Carry a Sword or Dagger ( Kirpan). Hence the 5 Ks And a Sikh must also 

seek  Spirituality  To Do soldier part of the Soldier-Saints (in present times referred to as the Nihang)  Defence of good Defence of the weak The struggle against injustice

He also created the Sikh Symbol Of the Khanda. And really Established Sikhism as a practice. He is also The  recognised Patron of The Nihangs. Since I close the Book With Portraits of my cousin who is a practicing Nihang and is wearing the Full Warrior dress. 

I thought this would be a good cover because he capsulated all of the values of Sikhs. And my cover is almost the title with in itself, you have a majestic, perfectly executed minature which is then printed like Andy Warhol’s Screen print of the monalisa as like a DaDaits statement (like ready mades) of Noble values held within a Turbulent mass produced, Unpredictable times much like the media of screen printing.           

[akalinihangchakars]

Khalsa Swarupa - Nihang Attire

Traditional Nihang dress is known as Khalsa Swarupa. This comprises full attire of superelectric blue selected by Guru Gobind Singh Ji, edged bracelets of iron round their wrists (jangi kara) and quoits of steel (chakram) tiered in their lofty conical blue turbans, together with the traditional dagger carried by all Sikhs (kirpan). When fully armed a Nihang will also bear one or two swords (either the curved talwar or the straight khanda) on his right hip, a katar (dagger) on his left hip, a buckler made from buffalo-hide (dhala) on his back, a large chakram around his neck, and an iron chain. In times of war, arms worn on the Nihang's person would generally be reserved until the warrior lost the weapon he held, often a bow or spear (barsha). Armour consisted of sanjo or iron chainmail worn under an iron breastplate (char aina). Nihang war-shoes (jangi mojeh) were constructed of iron at the toe, making their pointed toes capable of inflicting cuts and stab wounds.

The Nihang were particularly famous for their high turbans (dastar bunga) and their extensive use of the chakram or war-quoit. Their turbans were often pointed at the top and outfitted with a trishula or trident which could be used for stabbing in close-quarters. Other times, the turbans would be armed with a bagh naka (iron claw) and one or several chakram to slice at an opponent's eyes. These steel-reinforced turbans, it was said, afforded enough protection so that there was no need for any other form of headgear. Today, Nihang still wear miniature versions of five weapons (pancha shastra) in their turbans, namely the chakram, the khanda, the karud (dagger), the kirpan and the tir (arrow).

Hymn to Lakshmi (Lakshmi Stotra, with original sanskrit) from Skanda Purana, [Vaishnava Khanda, Venkatachala Mahatmya, ch.9] :- देवा ऊचु deva ouchu: “The devas said:- नम: श्रियै लोकधात्रयै ब्रह्ममात्रे नमो नम: । नमस्ते पद्मनेत्रायै पद्ममुरदृयै नमो नम: ।। १ ।। nama sriyai loka dhatryai brahma mathre namo nama, namasthe padma nethrayai, padma mukhyai namo nama. [1] “Salutations to Lakshmi, the mother of the world, Salutations to mother of Brahma, Salutations to the lotus eyed one, Salutations to the lotus faced one.” . प्रसन्न मुख पद्मायै पद्मकान्तो नमो नम: । नमो बिल्व वनस्थायै विष्णु पत्नयै नमो नम: 1। २ ।। prasanna mukha padmayai padma kanthyai namo nama, namo bilwa vanasthayai, vishnu pathniyai namo nama. [2] “Salutations to the Goddess Lotus with a pleasant face, Salutations to her who shines like lotus flower, Salutations to her who lives in forest of Bilwa trees, And salutations to the consort of Lord Vishnu.” . विचित्र क्षोभ धास्पियै पृथु श्रोणयै नमो नम: । पाव बिल्व फला पीन तुड़ग स्तन्यै नमो नम: ।। ३ ।। vichithra kshoma dharinayi pruthu sronyai namo nama, pakwa bilwa phalaa peena thunga sthanyai namo nama. [3] “Salutations to her who wears decorated silks, And one who has broad hips, Salutations to her who drinks ripe fruit of Bilwa, And one who has a chest like lion.” . सुरक्त पद्म पत्राभ कर पाद तले शुभे । सुरत्नाड़गद केयूर काच्ची नूपुर शोभित्ते ।। ४ ।। surakta padma pathrabha, kara pada tale shubhe, surthnagadha keyura kanchi noopura shobhite. [4] “Oh Goddess who is of the colour of the (light) petals of blood red lotus flower, Who shines with gem studded anklets, belt and armlet in her hands and legs. . यक्ष कर्दम संल्लिप्त सर्वाड़गे कटकोज्जाले ।। ५ ।। yakshakardhama samliptha sarvange kadakojjwale. [5] “One whose body is anointed with perfumed paste and One shining with bangles all over.” . माड़नंऱल्याभरणेश् चित्रेन् मुक्तब्वहारैदृ विभूषिते । ताटड़कँरवतंरनैश् च शोभमान मुखाम्मुजे ।। ६ ।। mangalyabharanais chithrair muktha harair vibhooshithe, thadangaira avathamsaischa shobhamana mukhambuje. [6] “One who wears the chain of mangalya (verse) and varied necklaces with pearls, One who has a shining face with hanging ear rings.” . पद्महस्ते नमस्तूभ्य प्रसीद हरि वल्लभे । ऋम् यजु२न् साम रूपायै विद्याये ते नमो नमदृ ।। ७ ।। padma hasthe namasthubhyam praseeda hari vallabhe, rig yaju sama roopayai vidhyai they namo nama.

[8] “Be pleased and give a merciful look on all people, Oh Goddess born out of the ocean, whose sight (of yours) is desired by Brahma, Rudra and Devendra.” _ a few verses later, following in the Skanda Purana, the Devi says: ..“Those devas and men who pray to me using the prayer composed by you, will realise the four purusharthas (goals) of Dharma, Wealth, Desire and Salvation.” [stotrena anena ye devaa naraa yushmath kruthena vai, dharmartha kama mokshaanam aakarasthe bhavanthi vai.] _ ..in Dhana Lakshmi Stotram, Shiva addresses Parvati as Lakshmi - bhoobhavamsa bhoothyai bhakthi kalpa lathaam shubhaam, prarthayathaam yadhaa kaamam kamadhenuswa roopinam. dhanadhe dhandhe devi, dhana seele dhayakare, thwam praseedha mahesaani, yadhartha prathayamyaham. [7-8] “I pray you, who exists as prosperity in earth, To be the wish giving perennial tree to devotees, and assume the form of the divine wish fulfilling cow. Oh Goddess Dhanadha, the ‘wealth giver’, Who is habitually a giver and one who shows mercy, May you please be pleased, Oh consort of Mahesa, For I pray to you to grant wealth.” . (translation based on P. R. Ramachander’s) _ ..in places Lakshmi is also worshipped as Saraswati…the hues of the goddess are one light together, variegated in creation… _ (from) Vijaya Lakshmi Stotram :- (by Sage Agastya) “The form of a being shines, The character of a being shines, The conduct of a being shines, Till the grace of Mahalakshmi is present.” [13] [twad virajathe roopam, thawach seelam virajate, twad guna naranaam, cha yavath lakshmi praseedati.] “O Lakshmi, that man who is decorated by your presence,is free from sins, respected like a king, Even if he lacks good conduct, is considered having one, and even if is of bad character, is considered as good.” [14] [lakshmi twayalankruta manavaye, papair vimukta, nrupaloka manya, gunair viheena, gunino bhavanti, dusshelana sheelavatham varishta.] vishnu priye, namastubhyam, namastubhyam jagadhite, aarthantri namastubhyam, samrudhim kuru may sada. [8] “Salutations to the darling of Vishnu, Salutations to Her, who is everywhere in the world, Salutations to Her who ends avarice, Please give plenty, always.” https://ift.tt/2ASefDK
