About Wearing Cap/hat In Sikhism

Recommended Posts

I was just wondering about this thing. I am a Sikh (non-AmritDhari) with uncut hair and wear a turban everytime.I am going to be an engineering graduate in a year. But I am like very much into sports ,I have been a state Cricket Player ,and recently I have been playing Golf , and during long Sunday mornings in Greens , Sun really beats the hell out of me , if I don't wear a cap , So I generally , wear a patka and a cap on top of it , and even when fielding in Cricket for long time , I do wear a cap. So is this wrong? , I know wearing of anything else but Dastaar is not permitted in Sikhism . But what about SIKH sahibaans who do other stuff than Bhakti? which is definitely not wrong, I mean Sikhism is also about leading a good life along with Naam-Simran , but what if the situation requires you to?

If my concepts are clear about Sikhi , it prohibits permanent wearing of caps and hats in place of turban , to cover your hair , but once and a while , you can wear a cap , only if the situation stricty demands it.

Please Correct me if I am wrong somewhere.And view this thing the point of view of a non-Amritdhari .

To the original poster,

Have you considered trying to tie a small dumalla or gol pagh, and rather than wearing a cap, purchase a visor and wear the visor to screen the light out?

A visor is not really a hat, consider it like elevated sunglasses, and you will still stand out like a Singh Sher and be an awe inspiring image on the field while you play your sport.

A Sun Visor has a very sleek design, and the Pagri will be able to keep your head cool>..

As an example,

I don't think the situation 'requires' you per se to do anything, but since you asked the question I have thought of an innovative way to overcome your problem, please consider it, as even if you don't have a golh pagri you can get a velcro style Sun Visor that can easily be placed around the forehead.

Also wear sunglasses with UV protection to protect your eyes.

Regards

'Hoe Sikh Sir Topi Dhare, Saat Janam Kushti Hoe Mare'

OMG .. thats like the third time someone has told me those Bani lines , <_< , I don't question it , but it does no good for me. All I know through this is If I wear a cap , I will be reborn 7 times as a Leper... :6 ... What about zillion of times I always wear my dastaar? and all those times I try to instill SIkhi values in my brothers and sisters? ... :rolleyes: ..Its very lame to say in SIkhi that If you do this , you will become that in your next birth , unless and until properly put forward. Without proper explaination from the mouth of a learnt person , this tuk is just words. So does that mean because in this birth I played golf and wore a cap for a couple of months , I will be reborn 7 times as a leper , very Hindu-ish ha? :6

:gg:

I would still like some help from the Sangat , and mskscan thnx for your valuable post , never knew about the visor thing , but this visor is still very cap-ish! , I mean if you wear a Visor , your dastaar will be visible , and in my case , i wear a patka and sometimes a very small 'parna' with a cap (which is like a visor but covered on top) ... I mean still whatever you said is what I do , just that in your case it makes the head covering visible and in my case my parna is also visible but on sides and not on top . Is it all about showing your dastaar? :gg: .. srry but bear with me , engineer minds question a lot..bhul chuk maaf jee..

sounds like yer scared to be a Sikh sportsman that is seen wearing a head covering, why arent you at the Gurdwara instead of playing golf on sunday. At least go to the Gurdwara on sundays when most of the Sangat is present. Golfers golf on sunday like it is an auspiscious religious duty or sum thing. Golf on tuesday when nobody is around and wear sunglasses or play when it isnt so hot. my dad golfs all the time and he used to go a tad after Amritvela hours when the air is fresh and the temp is kewl.

Dastaar only! No hats, caps and so on

why do some wear rumalas or bandanas? isnt that "not a turban"???????

most go without a turban now a daze cause the box of bandanas are over flowing when you should be the "owner" of your "own" head coverings, not temporarily renting one from the gurdwara bandans box.

Wear a pagree not even a rumala/bandana etc

    • 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.
