Miri piri


"Miri-Piri" is a concept that has been practiced in Sikh religion since seventeenth century. The concept of “Miri-Piri” was started by sixth Guru of Sikhism Guru Hargobind in June 12, 1606. After the martyrdom of his father, Guru was conquered to the Guruship and fulfilled the prophecy that was given by primal figure of Sikh Baba Buddha that the guru will possess spiritual and temporal power, wear two swords and will destroy Mughal enemies.. On that account, Guru Hargobind introduced the two swords of Miri and Piri symbolizing both worldly (political) and spiritual authority. The two kirpan of Miri and Piri are tied together with a khanda in center, where Piri is considered supreme then Miri because it symbolizes Spirituality..
