Dastaars?!

[singh1986]

Does it say anywhere within Bani that we should wear Turbans? Like what is the significance of them?

Is a is a turban necessary? according to Sikh scriptures?

[immortalshaheed]

To my understanding in bani there is no other command other than to love god and find nam. The dastaar was given to us by guru gobind singh to estabilish our identity.

[Singh With Dunalli]

Well, I am not too sure about bani. However, if Kalgidhar Patshah "finished" off Guru Granth Sahib, and he is the father of Khalsa, we should listen to everything he says. Guru Gobind Singh is the king of all kings. He knows how to reach Akal Purakh, and he is our father. A son should always look like his father. Plus, isn't it good enough that he says to be full Keshadari/Amritdari. That should be a good enough reason to be tyar par tyar let alone anything else.

Just my two Canadian Copper Cents,

MAFFI!

[palamrinder]

Turban is like a crown on sikh's head. Only kings and higher caste people were allowed to wear a turban, a mark of respect. There is no upper/lower caste in sikhism and turbans signify equality among all apart from being the crown on our head.

i see what you are saying but i think the tuk has been slightly mistranslated. it should be as follows:

…ਸਾਬਤ ਸੂਰਤਿ ਦਸਤਾਰ ਸਿਰਾ॥

"…complete form is with turban donned."

(SGGSJ Ang 1084)

but here is what you are looking for:

ਜੋ ਪਗ ਨੂੰ ਬਾਸੀ ਰਖੇ ਸੋ ਤਨਖਾਹੀਆ। ਇਸ ਲਈ ਹਰ ਗੁਰੂ ਕੇ ਸਿੱਖ ਲਈ ਲਾਜ਼ਮੀ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਉਹ ਰੋਜ਼ ਦਸਤਾਰ ਸਜਾਵੇ।

"One who does not tie a fresh turban is liable for penalty. For this reason it is mandatory for every Sikh of the Guru to tie a turban everyday."

(Rehitnama Bhai Chaupa Singh jee)

bukhsh laina sangat bukhshun yog hai.
