  1. Some people have no hair. None, nowhere at all.
  2. Keski should be at least 2.5 metres long. Dastaar should be at least 5 metres. Every Sikh should have atleast a keski at all times. This is why Kes can't be a kakaar...what would a naturally bald person do? Remain forever unable to be fully tyaar bar tyaar?? Even a bald person can keep a keski.
  3. What circumstances would make you need to tie a flat dastaar? It often makes one's head look like there IS no dastaar at all, so what's the point then? A dastaar should make a Sikh stand out in a crowd of a million, not blend in with the masses in an attempt to hide your identity. A joora should be done tightly on the dasam dwaar, not laid out flat over your head in a loose curl...that can hardly classify as a joora. Like I said before, I too used to aim for the flattest joora possible, but it really isn't in accordance with Gurmat. It takes a lot of courage to tie a dastaar, but if you're going to do it, then it should be done right. Tie your joora tightly and you won't need pins to hold it down. Actually, Bhai Dya Singh Jee's rehitnaama says: "Joora sees ke madh bhaag mein raakhey, aur paag baRee bandey" (Tie a joora on the top middle portion of your head and wear a large turban).
  4. Pins really aren't necessary. A joora should be tied tightly enough to not come loose. Those who wear pins in their joora, usually aren't tying their joora properly and that's why they need pins. It doesn't matter if you wear a dumalla or a smaller dastaar, your joora should still be tight and at the top of your head. I used to wear a small dastaar with pins in my joora because my joora used to be flattened and not a real joora at all. Once I started tying my joora properly at the top of my head, I no longer needed the pins.

    Feeling Of Guilt

    What's the use of feeling guilty? It's in your power to do something to change. Make an effort to improve and Guru Sahib will do kirpa.
  7. Haha, no worries. On the Raj Academy site, the instruments section is down. But you can see some nice pics if you go here: http://rajacademy.com/component/option,com...d,73/Itemid,55/ Read each article too
  8. Namstang Jee, rather than PM'ing the organizer about what your friend told you the Tapoban Singhs said, why not take your concerns straight to the Tapoban Singhs in question? Ask them directly what they said and why they said it. Maybe you'll gain some insight that could help you refrain from writing venemous posts like your previous one in the future.
  9. Cksinghani Jee, essentially, you're asking which is better -- a bujjar kurehit or a kurehit. I could ask you the same question in different words: which is better -- having your head cut off slowly or having it removed swiftly in one blow? While one way may feel "better" than the other in the immediate present, both choices will lead to the same outcome, right? A Sikh wouldn't choose between screwing up a LITTLE or screwing up a LOT, because either way, any screw up is costly. Removing your kes through waxing, shaving, plucking, trimming etc, is a bujjar kurehit and one who commits such an act is no longer a Sikh. Bleaching your kes, like dying it, is a kurehit and while it is a "sin" to a lesser degree than removing the kes, does that make it "better"? Not really. I know it's difficult and the pressure to conform can be almost unbearable, but know that you'll never find happiness by turning your back on your Guru. If excessive hair growth is caused by some type of hormonal imbalance, there's nothing wrong with seeing a doctor. In most cases though, hair that is already on your face will not go away. Treatment can prevent future hair growth, but in most cases, kes that you already have will remain intact. Often, women have facial hair for no apparent reason, ie. it isn't linked to hormonal issues at all. If that is the case and it isn't caused by a hormone imbalance, then try to balance out your priorities instead -- Sikhi above the world. With that choice, you'll never go wrong.
  10. http://www.tapoban.org/phorum/read.php?f=1&i=46422&t=45143 Dangers of inappropriate Relationships Author: ! Date: 07-20-05 08:55 People often say that the most detrimental of all mistakes a Sikh could make is to get involved in a relationship with the opposite sex. This doesn't necessarily mean being physically involved, but even something as "harmless" as developing feelings for another person outside of marriage can cost you everything. It seems almost impossible to recover after such a mistake. Even months and months later, there seems to be no escape in sight from all the damage it causes on a spiritual level. There was once a young Singh, perhaps in his early 20's, who used to do sevaa in Punj Pyaaray with Bhai Sahib Randhir Singh Jee. What a high avastha that youth must have had to do sevaa amongst such chardi kalaa Gursikhs. Bhai Sahib used to warn this youth to limit his interactions and communications with the opposite sex. He was warned to be careful and to talk to bibiaan less. However, this youth, like many of us, probably gave himself a lot of credit. He probably doubted that he could fall prey to the enticement of maya and doubted he would be tempted by kaam. But, lo and behold, he fell. And very badly, too. He committed such a grave mistake that warranted presenting himself before the Punj Pyaaray to seek forgiveness. He traveled to a Smaagam to get peshed, but the Punj Pyaaray there told him to return to his hometown and get peshed there in a local Amrit Sinchaar. This youth however was extremely ashamed of his mistake and had too much pride to present himself before his local Sangat. So, instead of getting peshed and trying to continue on with his Sikhi, this Singh disappeared altogether and no one ever saw or heard from him again. Some say that he committed suicide since he was never seen again. Drastic measures? I think not. It just shows how grave the mistake can be and just how detrimental it is, often to the point of no return. This youth didn't heed Bhai Sahib's advice to steer clear of being close with the opposite gender, so who would heed my advice now? All I can say is that the stakes are very high and if a Singh of such a high spiritual avastha can fall, what makes us think we can't? I see so many youth today who are clearly emotionally attached and involved with one another in the form of a "crush" if not more. They think they are safe and their relationships are acceptable and they won't cross the line by falling prey to kaam. But I say you've already fallen once you've developed feelings of this nature for a member of the opposite sex. And I tell you, it could happen to anyone, so it's best to be vigilant. We are all like wax that will easily melt when placed in the vicinity of fire. We're better off keeping a distance from the flame because after melting, there's no going back. Try as you might, sometimes it seems that the damage is irreparable.
  11. I'm pretty sure it's available at Sacha Sauda in Brampton.
  12. >try using a brush instead of a comb You should use only your kangaa to comb your kes.
