	Ethnographic Arms & Armour - Tulwar or Khanda
		It should be noted that the original khandas had very similar hilts to this form and that both khanda and pattisa were originally from S. central India.
		This very diffusion took the khanda to the north where as noted it did become a religious icon to the Sikhs, in the more well known form with the so called 'Hindu basket hilt'.
		The actual worship of the khanda was also well known by the Rajputs, who prevailed in Rajasthan regions, and the trisula was key in symbolism to Shiva.

		Khandaâs songs are traditional Buryat songs, forgotten by Buryats in Russia after years of governmental suppression, but preserved by Buryats in Inner Mongolia in their original purity.

		The two-edged sword (which itself is known by the name Khanda), circled by the solid circle known as a Chakra (quoit).
		But back to the khanda, I think the spiritual implications are pretty universal.
		Practically speaking, the majority of people may not know or even care what the khanda means - but for that one Hindu or other non-Sikh out there who might care, I think it`s reason enough not to make generalizations on what being a true Hindu is all about.

	BANGLAPEDIA: Brahmavaivarta Purana
		The number of chapters in each of the khandas is 30, 67, 46 and 131 respectively.
		The Srikrisna Janma Khanda hints literally at the birth of Krisna, but describes elaborately the entire life of Lord Krisna with particular emphasis on his adventures relating to Kaliyanaga-damana, Kangsa-vadha, Jarasandha-damana, annihilation of Yadu Vangsha etc. Elaborate descriptions are also available about Sri Radha's representation as Krisna's Shakti.
		A few typical features of society in early medieval Bengal, eg the prominent position of the Vaidyas as a leading non-Brahmana caste, the mention of the Kaivartas and the Sadgops as low castes, the merits of donation of land, and the performance of Vratas figure prominently in the text.

		"Khanda was formed to give us an opportunity to play music which we enjoy but wouldn't normally have an opportunity to play.

	Review of Rajput Khanda - Sword Forum International
		Rajput Khanda is offered by the Company Shah Jahan based in the USA and is made by Indian smiths who have fortunately kept the craft of their ancestors.
		I finally received this sword after waiting for some time but please take the fact into consideration that each of this swords is a custom piece and takes one month and even more for the smiths to make one.
		This resembles the blade shape of antique khandas perfectly and I was surprised to see such a detailed work.

		"Khanda is the Double-edged Sword of Word or Naam and it also correspond to the Third eye of Shiv.Kirpaan is of the Gobind.
		So, the Kirpaan of Gobind is always plied keeping in mind the Khanda of Naam.

	Review :: Khanda
		Khanda is one of the first Irish groups to infuse elements of jazz improvisation and Irish traditional/Indian traditional music and create music (and ideas) rewarding to both.
		Rather than promote the merits of either over the other, Khanda simply painted a wider soundscape to offer the listener an insight into what each tradition can offer the other with jazz being the fertile ground.
		So it is all the more fascinating and intriguing to see Martin Nolan, Peter Brown and Ellen Cranitch adopt a far looser harmonic and rhythmic approach to the melody and employ the full toolkit of the jazz idiom to create on the spot improvisations based on ideas presented in the written tune.

	SIKHISM: Beliefs, paractices, symbol, names
		A vertical double edged sword with a broad blade, also called a Khanda.
		They are called miri and piri, after the names given to his personal kirpans by Guru Hargobind.
		One unusual feature of Sikhism is that all Sikh males share the name: "Singh" which means "lion." Women carry the name of "Kaur" which means "princess." This practice apparently started in the early years of the religion, and was a reflection of the Sikh's absolute rejection of the Hindu practice of caste.

		But the most astonishing elements are Rudd's own compositions for this group, perhaps the most moving of which is "Gathering Light," where his trombone is a background tonal drone and Badma Khanda sings wordlessly as the flute and the dulcimer float around her elegantly.
		Another fine moment (of many here) is Oumou Sangare's ethereal "Djoloren." Khanda sings solo for nearly a minute and half before dropping out as the band begins to enter.
		Finally, Khanda returns to sing with the entire band, and the effect is breathtaking.

	Nishan-e-Khalsa design objected
		CHANDIGARH, Aug 5: Guru Gobind Singh Foundation chairman Jasbir Singh Ahluwalia today said the design of the Nishan-e-Khalsa to be erected at Anandpur Sahib was sacrilege and violation of the Sikh tradition, Sikh motif and Sikh symbolism.
		He said sacrilege had been committed by turning the Khanda upside down with its handle touching the bowl while it should have been the other way round.
		He said more, the approved design was a poor copy of the three-dimensional 66-foot high Khanda erected by the Namdharis at Malerkotla as part of the Kuka memorial.

		The symbol derives its name from the middle weapon, the khanda.
		The khanda is a double-edged sword that separates truth from falsehood with its sharp edges and symbolizies the divine knowledge and omnipotence.
		The circle around the khanda is the chakar, a quoit that is an unbrocen circle and thus represents the perfektion of the eternal god.
