  1. I mean the type worn by raagis let me find it.... sun tan line lol
  2. Great info Pyara Thanks for sharing. Do you think you might 'be asking for trouble' if you decided to tie dastar this way?
  3. Thanks for sharing the pictures great glimps into the past.
  4. Someone told me (sorry hearsay) That we place two dastars because the muslims forbid non moslems to wear a turban so Guru Gobind Singh bettered this by asking us to wear two..ie Keski and dastar.
  5. Thank you chatanga. i have noticed a lot of Gurmut Sangeet Raagis wear it too. I just wondered why there aren't much Sikhs wearing this style and is it because to avoid any confusion etc.
  6. Again i apologise if I am very incorrect. Just an open question really.
  7. Just a quick question to the Sangat, In many of the pictures I have seen portraying Guru Nanak Dev Ji his dastar looks like the style many Namdhari or Kookas wear today. My question is does anybody know more about why it is portrayed this way and whether it is suitable to tie in this way in Sikhi or are you likely to get questioned about it. I apologise if I have created offence in some way and none is intended.
  8. Let's face it how many bugs get in out flour? I think the point is to do everything to the best of our ability. I have to say that i have seen a few sikhs eating geletinous sweets unwittingly, not only is it eating meat but could also likely be halal meat!!! I don't think we should turn a blind eye to such things. There is a lovely book I have sen at some of the local Gurdwaras called 'Why Kill A Chicken' by Bhai Joginder Singh Talwara. If you haven't read it its really worth doing so.
  9. You could always just look for the Vegetarian Society / Vegan Society logo on products. Products these days are tampered quite a bit with why not use it as an incentive to make as many stuff up from scratch...much healthier to mind and body. In the UK as far as margarine goes Vitelite and Pure are free of animal products completely. If your ever concerned its quite easy to steer clear from such things with a few seconds to spare...leave it to the experts and look for the logo.
  10. Seriously hate to use a cliche but really lets not be reactive but instead be active. You can let the whole thing descend into complete chaos or you can find postive ways to move forward and solve it.
  11. Lets face it three people only know him her and Guru Ji. The rest of us will only learn what comes out.
  12. Please watch this its not a million miles away from the issues we face in our own community. fighting for individual rights. http://youtu.be/TEIU-FiK2G8
  13. The point is that throughout history there have been scapegoats. The Jewish community in Germany. Please don't condemn an entire people due to the actions of a few people. I abhor rape and i will not publish what i think should be a suitable punishment. We need to look to our Guru for answers and nowhere else. do not put your trust in allies who really don'f give a care about Sikhi because it will come back to bite you! We are lions but very JUST lions! We protect the innocent and stand up for what is right. Don't ally yourselves with the EDL they are a hate group in my opinion.
  14. Stop turning this into a political propoganda circus. The EDL will do anything to advance their cause. The NF failed because a lot of people from all sections of the communtiy stood up to them. The EDL are trying a different angle. pick on the muslims and then we can start on the others when they are out of the way. Sorry to say but your average thug won't know the difference between a muslim or a Khalsa. Sad fact. I agree it needs to be resolved but can anyone on this forum please tell me they have no muslim friends? i put my hands up and the ones I know are kind and not rapists. Must be because I',m a leftist then (rolls eyes) Our Gurus faught against prejudice and persecution in all forms and had many muslim friends from start to finish! .
