Miri piri
Miri-Piri is a concept[1] that has been practiced in Sikh religion since seventeenth century. The concept of "The Mir[disambiguation needed] and The Pir[disambiguation needed]" 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. Guru Hargobind introduced the two swords of Miri and Piri symbolizing both worldly (political) and spiritual authority[2]. The two kirpan of Miri and Piri are tied together with a khanda in center, where Piri is considered supreme than Miri because it symbolizes Spirituality.[3].
