Wjkk Wjkf,

I've been wearing a dastaar for the lasst 6 months and it's been awesome :D but now my ears hurt alot. Before it was bearable and wouldn't bother as much. Now, my ears get hot, they have scars on them and dont look so pretty lol.

I've been told to cover my entire ear, which should make it better, been trying that and I don't really see a difference

Also been told to use cotton pads, haven't attempted this one yet.

Finally, just start tying with my ears out until they heal.

Any other advice from the sangat ?

:3:

Same thing happened to me... and this is how i fixed the problem.. at least a bit.. also depends on what turban material one is using.. I use terry rubia material...

Wear Daastar only once then send it off for wash

Machine wash and USE electric dryer only (which gives a bit softness to the turban material

i have this problem since my 6 th standard ... my left ear gets wounds ... cotton helps but if its moved even a little bit after tying turban it would produce buring sensation ... i have changed little bit my turban style ... try this ... keep ur first ladh little mota and below the problem area of ear ... dont cover it in first ladh ...

and yeah do apply medicine before u sleep ... make it a habbit !!!

I had this problem some time ago, you need to think about how you tie each larr of your dastar (the larrs that go over your ears do not need to be tight, they can be loose, other larrs round your head can be tight) and yes covering the entire ear is better most likely. Also you may want to consider going a few weeks/months not tying anything over your ears, just tie a small keski, to let your ears rest and heal.

You should also make your dastar material softer by using lots of fabric softener/fabric conditioner when you wash it. Try using mal mal material.

wats ur pagg style? punjabi style or dumala style or nanaksar style or naamdhaari style (dont see problem with this coz naamdhari dont cover ear...lol)...

anyways, dont wear same pagg with same lad for more than 1-2 times and then put it in wash.

next time, make sure the pagg is proper dry. dont use water on pagg before u tie as this make the clothe soft at the start but later on when it is dry, it hurts and becomes too tight.

most useful tip: take a soft tissue and fold in untill it becomes half the size of your ear. not put it at the back of the ear and lift your ear little bit. DO NOT PUT IT ON THE SCAR (ON TOP OF YOUR EAR).

take the first ladd gently so that the tissue stays there at the back of the ear and then do the normal style, keeping in mind that the issue shouldnt move.

initially you will feel little un-confirtable coz ur ear will be lifted up, not trust be there wont be any pain....lol

hope this helps and if it does, send us a pic of ur beautiful pagg.

you know when you cover your whole ear, make sure the edge of the dastaar doesnt go over the middle of your ear, make sure its at the bottom of your ear, cuz then the edge cuts into your ear... it helped me... otherwise stick to ears out! sooooo comfy! but wudnt really help you in a fyt cuz it'll prbbly come flyin off haha an a white dastaar is always the most comfortable to wear because it has not been dyed or coloured so it maintains its natural soft feel

vaahegurooo!

Its not just you...

Been tying my dastaar for years, first used to tie folded style, then 'normal' nook (v shape) style and last 4+ years, gol dastaar. Every style can be a bit awkward on the ears.

Some days its fine, others it will be pretty bad, depends on how i've managed to tie it. And give your ears a break sometimes :) Like yesterday & today... my ears have been out, my ears weren't hurting but thought i'd give them a break anyway (nobody seems to notice whether they are in our out anyway)

Just experiment tying it in the same style as you do but in different ways like different place on your ear, second lar slightly higher, tie it slightly tighter/looser, use different material etc - makes big difference

if ur tying a dumala type of dastar n want to keep ears tucked try doing the dastar with ears out then the last few lars u have cover the ears. this might help as there wont be too mich tension on the ears with those lars. and try using a softer material like mal mal this may be easy on the ears

    • Net pay after taxes. If you don't agree, think about this: If you were a trader and started off in China with silk that cost 100 rupees and came to India, and you had to pay total 800 rupees taxes at every small kingdom along the way, and then sold your goods for 1000 rupees, you'd have 100 rupees left, right? If your daswandh is on the gross, that's 100 rupees, meaning you have nothing left. Obviously, you owe only 10% of 100, not 10% of 1000. No, it's 10% before bills and other expenses. These expenses are not your expenses to earn money. They are consumption. If you are a business owner, you take out all expenses, including rent, shop electricity, cost of goods sold, advertising, and government taxes. Whatever is left is your profit and you owe 10% of that.  If you are an employee, you are also entitled to deduct the cost of earning money. That would be government taxes. Everything else is consumption.    
    • No, bro, it's simply not true that no one talks about Simran. Where did you hear that? Swingdon? The entire Sikh world talks about doing Simran, whether it's Maskeen ji, Giani Pinderpal Singh, Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi, or Sants. So what are you talking about? Agreed. Agreed. Well, if every bani were exactly the same, then why would Guru ji even write anything after writing Japji Sahib? We should all enjoy all the banis. No, Gurbani tells you to do Simran, but it's not just "the manual". Gurbani itself also has cleansing powers. I'm not saying not to do Simran. Do it. But Gurbani is not merely "the manual". Reading and singing Gurbani is spiritually helpful: ਪ੍ਰਭ ਬਾਣੀ ਸਬਦੁ ਸੁਭਾਖਿਆ ॥  ਗਾਵਹੁ ਸੁਣਹੁ ਪੜਹੁ ਨਿਤ ਭਾਈ ਗੁਰ ਪੂਰੈ ਤੂ ਰਾਖਿਆ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The Lord's Bani and the words are the best utterances. Ever sing hear and recite them, O brother and the Perfect Guru shall save thee. Pause. p611 Here Guru ji shows the importance of both Bani and Naam: ਆਇਓ ਸੁਨਨ ਪੜਨ ਕਉ ਬਾਣੀ ॥ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਿਸਾਰਿ ਲਗਹਿ ਅਨ ਲਾਲਚਿ ਬਿਰਥਾ ਜਨਮੁ ਪਰਾਣੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The mortal has come to hear and utter Bani. Forgetting the Name thou attached thyself to other desires. Vain is thy life, O mortal. Pause. p1219 Are there any house manuals that say to read and sing the house manual?
    • All of these are suppositions, bro. Linguists know that, generally, all the social classes of a physical area speak the same language, though some classes may use more advanced vocabulary. I'm talking about the syntax. That is, unless the King is an invader, which Porus was not. When you say Punjabi wasn't very evolved, what do you mean? The syntax must have been roughly the same. As for vocabulary, do you really think Punjabis at the time did nothing more than grunt to express their thoughts? That they had no shades of meaning? Such as hot/cold, red/yellow/blue, angry/sweet/loving/sad, etc? Why must we always have an inferiority complex?
    • I still think about that incident now and then, just haven't heard any developments regarding what happened, just like so many other things that have happened in Panjab!
    • There was a young Singh from abroad who went to Anandpur Sahib Hola and got into a fight with some Punjabis who were playing loud non-religious music. He had bana and a weapon or two. There were more of them than him.  He ended up losing his life. Don't be like that. Not worth it to fight manmukhs. @californiasardar1 ਮੂਰਖੈ ਨਾਲਿ ਨ ਲੁਝੀਐ ॥੧੯॥ Argue not with a fool. p473
