Keshi Ishnaan

[Mehtab Singh]

From what I know, and what I've seen, Singhs usually do keshi ishnaan daily, and then use a keski as a "chunni" to cover their wet kesh, and with a kamarkasa on their waist they do their Nitnem. After Nitnem, the kesh have dried and then they do kangha and tie a keski. Lately I heard another Singh tell me not to "handle" Gurbani, or recite from Gutka if your kesh were open. So that kinda confused me.

Inputs please

From what i know, when your hair is drying you leave it loose, with keski tied around your waist then you do your naam simran. during that time your hair dries, then you tie your hair up and tie ur keski, then u recite ur nitnem using ur gutka. if u dont need a gutka and can receite it kant then u dont need to tie ur keski yet.

I believe there is a rehitnama which mentions that your keski should never be used as a kamarkasa.

im not amritdhari yet but for when i am what ive always wondered is is that i thought one of the reasons for having your joora on your dasam duaar is so that your simran is enhanced, but hows that possiible if your hairs open and drying?

I am sorry I didn't mention the scenario where one has time only for Nitnem, so then would they do Nitnem with kesh open and drying and just a keski wrapped on their head?

Which is why is best to use a separate keski thats used only as kamarkasa.

yes that is fine, however if you use a gutka, i think ur keski shud be tied properly. and you may have to dry ur hair using a hair dryer.

Are you allowed to use hairdryers?

[Tarrandeep Kaur]

i think if you use a hairdryer everyday then it mite damage ur hair. but if u set it to a cool setting and hold it at a distance from ur hair, then it shud be ok.

best thing to do is let ur kesh dry natuarally tho............dunno try waking up earlier???
