namdhari555 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 found this interesting video that might tie with why a sikh wears a kara, metal bracelet. It might have a conntection with when you go deep in mediation. Listen to the whole video espeaically towards the end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsingh101 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 The word kara itself has an interesting history/etymology: It apparently comes from Farsi and means something like a slave bangle there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I heard a Kathakar says that hand cuffs in Punjabi/Hindi/Urdu means Hath Karhi. Karha is also a Hath Karhi which represents our bond with our Guru who is our master. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
