Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!!

Recently i have been tying a dastar more often and my parents have a couple of problems with it. Before they were fine with it, like when I did it for the 1st time, I got (u know) the expected reaction. Then I started tying it more often and I think they are starting to get tired of me tyin one.

They don't think its necessary that girls should have one (they aint gursikhi) and on top of that they are pretty sexist.

I need you - bros and sisters to get some quotes or something to help me convince them that all sikhs should wear one (and I ain't settin up dis post 4 a debate OK just need sum support).

Thank You!

First of all, to "wannabekaur5", I commend you for your strength and courage! Many young singhnees encounter the same pressure to conform that you must be facing but if you deal with your parents in a respectful manner, Guru Sahib will do kirpa!

Some very general arguments/logic you could employ include the following:

1) There is only one Khalsa and no such thing as a "Khalsi". When Guru Gobind Singh tells us that "Khalsa Mero Roop Hai Khaas", he clearly refers to both Singhs AND Singhnees to be the reflection of his very form. That form is incomplete without a dastaar, without the crown that makes us all the sons and daughters of the King of all Kings.

2) Double-standards: We would find it inappropritate for a Singh to walk around with a gutt or his hair tied into a bun at the back of his head with his head bare. If the majority of Singhs did this today, there would an outcry to stop it. Why should we be so complacent to let Singhnees present themselves in this way?

3) The physical identity of a Sikh is of extreme importance. I don't think Guru Sahib would have given this unique identity and responsibilty to males alone to distinguish them as Sikhs and not give his daughters the same crown and mark of royalty. All Sikhs are supposed to stand out in a crowd of thousands. If a Singhnee is without a dastaar, what will distinguish her from any other random woman? How would anyone know that she is a Sikh?

first, ask your parents why its imperetive (sp?) that guys wear a dastaar?

Lol... I've done that but like I said they are pretty sexist. And I'm just getting really tired of arguing with them, imagine how many sins i've committed. It's like we are arguing 24/7, can't start a conversation without arguing.

Hopefully with Guru's Kirpa they'll get over it, after all yeh its a wierd way of looking at this but at least i'm sikhi enough to have these arguments, lol.

WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KE FATEH PENJI OF THE PANTH!

May i commend you for following the Panth of Waheguru even though your parents seem against it. I won't deny it makes my blood boil when parents are against their child from following the path of Waheguru, but usually that's because they ashamed that a child is more religious then they are. Sharam Oundhi....

Parents also like to throw lines like 'But who'll marry a girl who's Amritdhari' etc. I can tell you can find millions of Amritdhari boys. You just need to know where to look. (BTW - Ask them if they'd like you to be a trollop, lets see the reaction shall we)

Have a look at this link and they have pictures too, show that to your parents.

BTW - Don't argue with them just say Gur Fateh to them everytime they instigate an argument, and they'll soon stop trust me. - If you require further asistance please message me and i'll be more than happy to help :TH:

    • 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.
