Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaaj blessed us with an identity. Why would we not want to tie a Dastaar, when Guru Sahib blessed us with it?

In my opinion, a Chunni is not a very practical way to keep one's head covered. It slides off and women are seen fixing them all the time in Darbar. They could be focusing on the Kirtan/Katha, as opposed to worrying whether their heads are covered or not. Even when going about in daily life, a Chunni could get caught in something, slide off when bending over to pick up something, blown off in the wind, the list goes on.

Even a Ramaal isn't as practical as a Dastaar. The Dastaar is protection for our hair and our head. It sets us apart and gives us an identity. It is our crown.

The Dastar is compulsory for men and women. An Amritdhari girl should have the Roop of the Khalsa, and recognised as Khalsa, not confused with Hindu (wearing a Chunni) or a Muslim (wearing Ramal with hair at the back like a Muslim woman/Somalian women often wear it).

Bhai Daya Singh (original Panj Pyare) makes a mention in his Rehat Nama that women should never have their hair at the back but rather have it tied as a top knot.

If a girl is not ready to wear a Dastar and keep proper Khalsa Roop, she is not ready to take Amrit. One is only ready to take Amrit when they want to adopt the form of God Himself, with all 5 Kakkars and a Crown tied on their head.

They both are okay. I will respect that bibi without daastar as i same do same with daastar dharan bibi. Respect others by what they have inside not just outside.

This is the main reason I still haven't taken amrit yet because I am still practicing to tie a dastaar. Sometimes, I cry because I don't know how to tie a dastaar. Sometimes I cry because I still haven't taken amrit. With me only being 16 this year, I really hope maharaj blesses me with dastaar sjaun di daat and amrit di daat soon. Guru sahib is definitely teaching me how to be patience here.

    • 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.
