Freed Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 ਅਸ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾਨ ਖੰਡੋ ਖੜਗ ਤੁਪਕ ਤਬਰ ਅਰੁ ਤੀਰ ॥ ਸੈਫ ਸਰੋਹੀ ਸੈਹਥੀ ਯਹੈ ਹਮਾਰੈ ਪੀਰ ॥੩॥ Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru ji ki Fateh !!! Enjoy the 'darshan' of these Beautiful Shastars of the Guru Sahiban and other Historic Shastars. Akal Takht Sahib - Preserved in the Akal Takht Sahib are the Historic shasters of Guru Sahiban and their beloved warriors. Unlike the shasters displayed at Anandpur Sahib which are housed in a large windowed structure and can be viewed from all sides - the Shasters at Akal Takht Sahib are housed in a Gold Throne with latticed doors - though beautiful, it makes viewing the shasters difficult, and therefore they cannot be seen clearly or are missed by many of the sangat. These shasters are ceremoniously displayed to the sangat after Rehras in the Akal Takht. This beautiful collection of Shasters include The Meeri Peeri swords of Guru Hargobind Sahib- a sword of Guru Gobind Singh - daggers of the sahibzade Baba Ajit Singh and Baba Jujhar Singh - A 10 kilo sword of Bhai Bachitter Singh - A large Khanda of Baba Deep Singh - and a large Khanda of Baba Gurbaksh Singh. The Miri Piri swords Shastar Darshan - this picture is rare as you see the display of the shasters in the original Akal Takht in the late 1970s The Dumaalley shasters and Chakars of Baba Deep Singh Ji Shaheed The Katar of Guru Hargobind Sahib (No. 1) and the Katar, kamarkasa and kanga of Guru Gobind Singh Ji (No.s 2 and 3) kept at the Central Museum Amritsar The sword of Bhai Mehtab Singh - used to behead Massa Ranghar (No. 4) and the sword of Ranjit Singh used in the Conquest of Kasoor. (No. 5) The weapons at Anandpur sahib The Khanda used at the first Amrit Sanchaar 1699 Guru Gobind Singh Ji's Karpa Barccha Musket The Saif - presented to Guru Gobind Singh by Bahadur Shah - it is believed to have belonged to Hazrat Ali , son in law of the Prophet Muhammed and used by his gransons Hassan and Hussain The Nagini Barchha of Guru Sahib as used by Bhai Bachittar Singh at the battle at Lohgarh 1700 AD against the Hill rajas - Bhai Sahib struck the drunken elephant which led the rajas' troops in the forehead - making the army retreat in terror. Weapons in the possession of the Maharaja of Patiala The personal small kirpan of Guru Gobind Singh arrows of Guru Gobind Singh The body armour of Guru Gobind Singh Ji - inscribed with the Jaap Sahib The Kirpan of Guru Gobind Singh The Khanjar of Guru Gobind Singh with jade hilt.

amardeep Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Very amazing.. seeing the weapons of Guru Gobind Singh Maharaj gave me chills this can not be the sword of Imam Ali as his famous Dhulfiqar sword as his sword was double egded like this: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freed Posted February 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 While I'm not an expert - I thought the 'Zulfiqaar' sword was like the 'Holy Grail' of Islam ( sorry for the mixed metaphors !) in that no one is sure of what it looked like or were it is - this particular 'saif' is said to have been given to Aurangzeb by the Islamic 'Khalifas' - it then passed on to his son Bahadur Shah - he then gifted it to Guru Sahib to use in the upholding of 'Dharma' -- This is all based on popular / oral tradition so there is no real way to corroborate it. Dear Amardeep if you have any more info on the 'Zulfiqar'/ 'dhulifiqar' sword please post it Many Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynamic_Banda Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 in my opinion the zulfikar is described as a sword with two edges, and even though swords with that double side by side blade do exist, the definition of zulfikar doesnt negate the possibility of the khanda.. after all one is side by side the other is back to back.. ! but thats just my opinion, however it would be quite upsetting to many muslims to claim the sikhs were given the zulfikar as a gift, or that it is now in some sikh gurdwara.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maha Singh Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 This is the type of sword from what i know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amardeep Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 The sword was given to Prophet Muhammad during a battle, and he passed it on to Muhammad, whereas they won the war. the sword was later on passed on to the next imam, and dissappeared with Imam Hussein who will return with it some day.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynamic_Banda Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 amardeep, Correcting it is with Imam Mehdi, Imam Hussein gave shaheedi in Karbala, hence the recent muharram events and the day of Ashura. Also Maha Singh, its not like that shastar, I seen the Zulfikar styled ones in a museum in Patiala as well as Rajisthan, It actually looks more like two swords side by side, from the same handle. im looking to see if i can find a picture 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maha Singh Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Oh i know which one your on about, ive seen it too, will post it when i get home 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chhinderpalsingh Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 freed, highly obliged Im. Got darshan of Guru Sahib in Shastras. Seeing only images of Shastras related to Guru Sahib, makes us highly spirited, then imagine, how the Sikhs living & serving Dasmesh Pita at that time, would have highest moral spirits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
