Khalsa Kirpans
The Handmade Knives & Swords
of Jot Singh Khalsa
Adi Shakti
The Adi Shakti is a symbol of infinity. It relates to our primal creative power and has three parts to its design:
The chakra is the circle that reminds one of Gods inifinite nature, which has no beginning nor end, and the unity of mankind regardless of race, caste, religion or gender.
The khanda is the double-edged central sword which represents the straight and narrow path, the razor's edge that must be walked to stay on the path of righteousness.
The kirpans are the two curved single-edged swords on both sides of the symbol. Guru Hargobind (one of the founders of Sikhism) wore two such swords, signifying Miri - political and temporal power and Piri - spiritual sovereignty.
