About Wearing Cap/hat In Sikhism

The power of suggestion and the irrational ways in which we think and act….

I say the above not about you original poster. In fact, I appreciate your humility.

Something to think about for a moment. As we speak millions of school kids in the west are given baseball style caps by their parents for the purpose of shading them and protecting them from the heat.

The parents feel good about this safety measure and the kids feel they are protected and more comfortable. I hazard a guess that all kids would honestly say and feel they are cooler and more comfortable as they play in the sun.

However, specific sunhats protect these kids from the sun. Baseball style caps insulate AGAINST the loss of heat from the head. They do the opposite of the intended effect.

The only thing keeping these kids from complaining and throwing off the baseball style caps is what they believe.

There are places where the situation DEMANDS a head covering, a helmet in American football perhaps. Golf does not. If we want to be strictly engineering technical, the weather for a hat could demand that nudity with sunscreen would help also. But because of a SOCIAL NORM that won’t happen… and no one even thinks about suggesting that.

So when you wear nothing but a hat, I’ll believe the situation demands it. Till then bro, wear a light colored smaller version of dastar and play each sport like you would dominate regardless of weather.

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.

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

What a lame answer the one is marked as bold and italic. I mean you can't assist someone what to do and what not to. You can impose your thinking upon anyone, if you go the gurudwara on sunday and if he plays golf on sunday then thats his choice, none of your business i think.

    • 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.
