Kara Black Gold Guru Ram Das & Ra Ma Da Sa

This Black-Gold Kara is made in a unique way. Solid gold wire is inlayed into the surface of the Kara and then it is baked in an oven, giving the Kara its distinguished black look. The black coloring will wear off after a few weeks, but the gold inlay work remains solid. This technique has been used for hundreds of years in the desert state of Rajasthan, decorating ancient sword and kirpan scabbards.

Double engraved:

The golden engraving on the outside of this Kara reads:
Guru Guru Wahe Guru, Guru Ram Das Guru.
This mantra projects the mind to infinity, then allows a finite guiding relationship to come into your practical activities. The first part (Guru Guru Wahe Guru) projects the mind to the source of knowledge and ecstasy. The second part (Guru Ram Das Guru) means The wisdom that comes as a servant of the Infinite. It is the mantra of humility. It reconnects the experience of infinity to the finite by the Grace of Guru Ram Das. Chanting this mantra invokes the guidance, love and protection of Guru Ram Das, the Fourth Sikh Guru. It opens the Fourth Chakra, the Heart Center, and allows you to feel and effortlessly radiate universal love.

The second mantra is engraved on the inside of this Kara:
Ra Ma Da Sa Sa Se So Hong.
It is a concentrated form of spiritual healing energy used for thousands of years to build bodily resistance to disease and improving the circulation and flow of prana throughout the entire body. This completely beneficial mantra strengthens the energy field and improves every aspect of your existence.

Both these mantras are chanted to invite complete healing into your life.

History and use of a Kara:
The Kara is originally a bracelet made of iron or steel and was first given by Guru Gobind Singh Ji, the 10th Sikh Master, in 1699 as one of the 5 K's of the Sikhs - a powerful protection and radiant symbol for the one who wears it.
A circle with no beginning and no end, the Kara represents man’s unbreakable relationship with the eternal creator and the Infinity. The steel or iron is a reminder of the strength of the bond which unites us together and ultimately to the Divine.

A Kara is not only a spiritual or religious garment, it is a powerful jewel of radiance, enhancing your personality and presence. In the science of Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan, the Kara is also valued for its energetic-magnetic effects on the Aura – strengthening the male or active energy when worn on the right hand, and the female or more receptive energy when worn on the left hand.
