its like an incentive for kids and adults alike to keep their kesh covered at all times. It can encourage them to experiment with dastaars. Dont think theres anything wrong with that.

Its a good idea!! For example, Major Singh in india, the whole reason he ties his Dhuamalla so big and heavy is to proove a point that its not hard to wear a dastar!! And the thing is, when kids see him, they feel inspired to try and beat him!! So they grow their kesh and start to keep mahrajs roop for that purpose, on the way learning more and more about sikhi!!

Its a good way of making dastar fun for both kids and adults, ie as opposed to just wearing a hat or a patkha, they get pleasure from tying their dastar!!

Tallest Bunga is usually a good one!! Think we might be holding that comp soon in our local city!!

well its ok to an extent.. as in inspiring people to wear it, but dont want people wearing dastaars JUST for the competition, and losing the true meaning of guru ji's saroop.

yes, this is true also. i know some Singhs n that n they wear the most amazing looking dumaalaas n bana but behind closed doors, they do so many wrong things and nobody suspects a thing because its like they hide behind the bana - its like a defence mechanism so anyone who meets them will be too in awe of their bana and not notice the person inside....

but i know competition does inspire people - and although they may wear it in a "competition" mode for a lil while, they soon grow out of it when they get a bit older and wiser....

This is true. I know of Singhs who do some great seva also but do some horrible things!

To hold a competition is still a good thing and its fun for those who font wear a dastar already but it can b a bad thing. Same with anything though, U can be forced to wear a dastar and then you end up cutting your kesh.

End of the day, who are the future, kids and youth. If we dont make Sikhi slightly appealing to them then we will lose them. If it works the so be it, im not saying go over the top, but moderate allocations such as dastar tying comps, they are ok.

Trust, if there was potential harm and beadbi, i would b first to prevent. So many people already do beadbi of Sikhi Saroop, a competition is not going to hinder this at all unles the person comes in with a flashy starch and / or a trim beard. Thats when the line is drawn.

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
