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.

You're doing all the right things.

IS IT COMPULSORY FOR AMRITDHARI WOMEN TO WEAR A DASTAAR?????

COZ I'VE MET MANY HU DONT ....BUT THEY ALWAYS AV THERE HEAD COVERED :)

It's not compulsory for women to wear a dastar. Majority of bibiyan from all sampradai be it taksaal, nihang, nanaksar etc generally just wear a chunni or keski. Whilst bibiyan wearing dastar have been around all the time and it's amazing dont let it be a make or break reason for not taking Amrit. 

Keeping the kesh tied and covered is important and the chunni police will enforce that by giving you evils at the Gurdwara.

Some panj Piyare encourage for wearing a dastar , not come across any making it compulsory. 

One can look the part but inside they aren't living up to it. Bani and Bana should go hand in hand.

Doesn't really matter, as long as your head is covered and you look modest.

Historically Sikh women used to wear just chunni. Looking at 19th century photos, and historical Sikh art work(18th, 19th century), there isnt a single Sikh woman with a dastar. Even in Punjab today, amritdhari women just wear chunni. They used tie their joorah on top of their heads and then cover it with chunni. 

The wives of the shaheed Singhs from the 80s, 90s, mostly used chunni. I think Sant Jarnail Singh jis wife used chunni as well. Shaheed bhai Raminderjeet Singh Tainee Babbar and his wife both became shaheed, bibi ji also used to wear a chunni, you can watch their anand karaj on YouTube. 

Dastar wearing Sikh women is more of a western Sikh thing ... which is fine ...

Doesn't really matter, as long as your head is covered. 

On that note, why do Sikh parents tie patka on their sons heads and leave their daughters heads with nothing on? You see plenty of Sikh parents, often mona, who raise their sons with guttis, which is is great, but they cut their daughters hair and not cover it, Why?  Then we wonder why boys a closer to Sikhi then girls ...

When tieing patka on your sons, tie patka or something similar on your daughters too ...

If little girls prefer wearing a pink patka, or something similar, then do that! Just try encouraging them and get them into the habit.

you will see some eye witness accounts, one time when some Nihang Singhs went to meet I think it was Mughals.

Anyway they brought their Singhnis with them and muslmaanis saw them.

Some of the Singhnis wore bana with dumalla.

Some Singhnis wore traditional clothes. However in pictures you will see that these Singhnis keep joora at mahd-sees which is like middle of the back of the head, I guess above the dasam duar - and then always covered by a chunni

    • 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.
