I for some reason am used to buying the same length, so all my turbans are 7 yards with a 1/2 yard keski.

I wanna start tying a dumalla but I wanna get a Siri Chand with the chain mail first. Right now Im having a hard time trying to find one with a chain, but how long of material do I need for a dumalla dastar?

I tried to wear a big turban(15 yards) today for a few hours and I was glad to take it off after feeling like a hippo was sitting on my head.It was soo padded that I could have jumped off the roof and landed on my head and it wouldnt have hurt :D I cant imagine Major Singh who wears the biggest turban in the world. I also cant see how gaj-gah turban Sikhs can be even half comfortable wearing ornaments 3-4 feet in length, and how heavy all the metal they are wearing is.

Wow, you people are pretty average in wearing turbans I guess, its' all good it doesn't matter. A turban is a turban is a turban, and as long as you have KESH, you are the MAN/WOMEN! :TH:

Anyways, my dastaar is 7 metres. I usually get 6 larhs/pallas or wraps, whatever you want to call it. I wear a normal PEAK style turban, because I like that style. :TH: More people responding to this thread would be cool, I would like to know also what people wear and what not. :TH:

By the way, this is MAJOR SINGH. :D

I switch off between a peaked dastar and dumalla stlyle, i'm still working on the dumalla cuz its hard to get it looking right, for me at least, but its the most comfortable.

When getting dressed up i usually wear a peaked pugh, although i did see some awesome singhs in toronto wearing two piece suits and dumalleh, they looked freakin awesome! :D

    • 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!!
