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

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
