Ladies and Dastaar


Recommended Posts

I got a strong message a couple months back that I should start covering my head so I started pinning my hair up and wearing various scarves and things... I was buying kerchief-like coverings from one lady until I learned she was on a message board where they were trashing Sikhs, so she's not getting my business. But I want to go further, I want to wear dastaar. Ladies in dastaar look like queens. But HOW? Not one lady at our local gurudwaras wears dastaar and could not show me how to do it; and I hear the wrapping is different for ladies. In fact they're kind of shocked that a lady would want to.

I have my reasons... my hair is sacred. I'm so tired of people at work making Pippi Longstocking jokes, and I can't stand having men mess with my hair. Other men I mean; my husband has a right to touch my hair, anyone else gets smacked. I also figure, if Sikhi is to be equal for all, then I must do things as equally as a man: I must sing simran, wear kirpan and keep my kesh, just like a man; therefore I must wear keski like a man, because Guruji said it was for all. There is no separate Rehit for each sex, after all.

Are there any Princesses out there who do wear dastaar? If so, I'd love some tips on wrapping it right!

Blessed be,

BahaPolska

Just walk with your head held high and be PROUD to wear with So much Pride!

Guru Ji has given us such a beautiful roop, lets now keep it and uphold his rehat to the fullest!!

Well done phenji on wanting to wear it!!!

The videos are good, i kinda learned to tie dhumala from there, and with practice and kirpa, it comes out satisfactory on a daily basis!!!!

    • 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.
