The Siri Singh Sahib Yogi Bhajan used to wear a simple stainless steel Kara himself, and this was argument enough for me to wear a steel Kara. However, my partner Parvinder Singh likes to wear an iron Kara and this is what he has to say: Iron has magnetic power and receives the energy coming through the Root Chakra. This energy is basic, pure and impeccable. Iron, as a natural metal, has an electromagnetic field which is capable of storing this energy and reflecting it back to us when we need to bring balance to our physical and spiritual health. It heals the subconscious mind, helps to strengthen the heart Charka and to have a blissful experience of the soul.
As what we learned from SSS Yogi Bhajan men should wear the Kara on the right hand and women on the left. He says that balances the dominating hemispheres of the brain accordingly. Guru Dev Singh (Sat Nam Rasayan) wears two Karas on the same hand. He says that that helps you to stay connected to yourself when you do a lot of healing work. The Indian Nihangs wear their Karas on both arms as they see themselves as not man and not woman, but as creation of God. That way both hemispheres are being balanced. Some Sikhs also believe that you should wear the Kara on the hand you use the most as it reminds you not to do anything unjust with that hand.In the end, I suggest that you try it out for yourself and wear it on the hand it feels better for you.
It really depends on how much you can collapse your hand while putting the SikhKara on. Some people like the Kara to fit really tight. They put it on with some oil or soap and never take it off. Other people like it loose so that they can take it on and off easily. When in doubt, choose the smaller size.
The easiest way to measure the correct size is to find a bracelet which fits you well and measure the width from the inside edge to the other inside edge at the widest point.
