The reason u got kids trimming their beards n stuf is cuz no1 ever taught them sikhi in genral, gurbani and naam jaap so they stil under the grip of the 5 vices.

once we start teaching all kids gurbani and its meanings, wether they are monay or not, more and more will want to be under the fold of khalsa and uphold rehit.

Perhaps the competitions can stipulate that people of all backgrounds and faiths are welcome to participate and recognize the significance or role of the turban in their respective culture or faith. In addition out of respect for the Sikh faith, anyone who claims to be wearing a Sikh turban must be someone who keeps their kesh.

This is not true veerji.... i have seen jat people youth clean shaved and cut surd while their fathers and mothers as amritdhari... and this cut culture is 99% prevalent in jats... sorry to say but it is fact... it doesnt mean that they are not being in touch with culture and not seeing his father about all this amrit thing... the thing is who cares is their policy and they dont treat anybody should disturb them whatever u do... if u are in punajb see for ur eyes and if u are in states etc... see jat people around you u will find hardly 5% as a pooran sikh

Dear untitled veer... there is nothing of such sort that u should ask for a opinion on this turban tying contest... infact what was their in the article is all about propagating sikh religion towards to sikh youth and to make them come back into main stream as they are going away from it now a days...

I was not sure if the turban tying contest was ok, (since turban is a religious symbol for Sikhs), but I guess it is acceptabe as long as the youth are learning how to tie the dastaar.

..but I dont I think I can ever accept this......Ratemyturban.com....it makes it seem like the Dastaar is a joke. I know Indians have turban tying contests, since there are so many differnt types of turbans in India, but I think Sikhs should refrain from this because it is a religious symbol for them.

Maybe it could get included as an Olympic sport for the London Olympics.

We could have different categories.

Gol Dastaar,

Patiala Shahi,

African,

Sikh North West Frontier loose style (one of my favourite styles, the Sikh elders in Pakistan use this loose style, )

Delhi business man big style.

Dumalla (for you untitled Singh)

College boy style (UK) - nice clean lines but not as big as Patiala Shahi

College boy style (India) -the lar come very close to your eyes and your ears are well covered)

and a Freestyle category.

and you didn't include the Dumalla.

your joke has illustrated my point, it not a sport or a fashion item, its a religious symbol (for the Sikhs).

    • 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!!
