Narsingha Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 'Panj Shastar Dhar Dehi Pai, Kripan Gatre Rakh Karad Bhet Bin Paan Nahi, Akaal Bhaav Sat Baakh' Keeping the five weapons on body, in the sword-belt he keeps a sword. Without dipping his dagger in food and uttering Immortal God's name he does not eat. (Rehitnama, Akali Nihang Singh Khalsa 96 Crore Budha Dal Weapons License Pg 11) The 'Panj Shashtar' as per Akali Nihang Singh Khalsa Maryada are: a) chakra teer khanda c) bank d) kripan They are worn by men around the top-knot (which is wrapped with a dark blue keski). Their significance varies according which Nihang you speak to, but they are considered as both symbolic and functional. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
