Isnt the whole purpose of this band to show we are proud to be Sikhs?

Its just a money making scam!! If you want to show you are proud to be Sikhi, Keep Panj Kakkar, wear Bana, show the people who you are and stand out in the crowd not wear a little band.

At work i have to explain why i wear a kara to some people or why i wear 2 kirpans. I have to explain what Sikhi is, where it came from etc. If it takes me longer to do this its off no inconvenience to me as that person walks away having learnt something about Sikhi.

The bands are pointless adaptations to wearing a kara. We shouldnt promote that. Guru Ji gave us Dastar to stand out in the crowd and we do. If people think we are some one we are not than thats up to us to correct them. Not take the easy option and by a band which says im sikh!

My man is just trying to make money of Sikh and despite the fact that some money might be going to the Gurdwara, whats to say we cant just go and see our Guru Ji, give him the cash directly, cut out the middle man and become his slaves?

Apologies if have offended anyone with this post. I have been off sick today and most likely gona be for the rest of the week :doh: (i hate being stuck in bed, cant do nothing!!)

Apologies for moaning, its just if we that proud to be sikh we will buy a band, then why cant we wear Bana instead? Shows more proud to be Sikh as when you walk, people look at you. some people in bad ways, that happens neway!! But some in a good way. The first time i went out in public in bana (not to Gurdwara) but in city centre, i had alot of people look at me, some were amazed, and some "how come he can carry a sword about and not get arrested" (If in bana then shud be thiyaar bi thyiaar in my eyes!!) Was crossing a road and a Singh bus driver actually stopped the bus, JUST to let us pass - there was nothing behind him, BUT he stopped to let Guru Jis Khalsa Army walk past.

If you proud, then follow Gurus Hukham. Not some street trader making some money!!

Line Guru Ji with Simran, not next man with cash!

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
