Wearing Cap In Gurdwara

I dont think an adult "sikh" should be wearing a cap or hat in a Gurdwara as it sets a bad example to the younger sangat. So what else would you say to an cap wearing adult "Sikh" who is serving langar?

To the original poster, I think you believe someone other than a keshdhari would be setting a "bad" example for the "younger" sangat. It makes no difference what you use to cover your head. Hell, I've even see people use napkins.

Don't judge someone by what is or isn't on their head. Look deeper!

He who as a Sikh places a hat on their head; will be reborn seven times as a leper.

I've found if it's young adults without kes, they usually don't intend disrespect, but are ignorant or unaware. I would grab a ramal and subtly and quietly offer it to them and ask that they remove the cap (unless it was associated with some other faith). Your body language in such a situation communicates much about what you are saying. To their credit, I can only recall very respectful responses.

If I encountered any adult doing this, I would probably ask if they were not able to find ramals and grab one and offer it to them.

<br /><br />Are you promoting the use of hats/caps in a gurudwara? And how deep are we supposed to look?<br /><br />Did try to ignore your post....

thanks Arjinder bhaji for the line.

Jag, do I really need to know if you "tried" to ignore my post? Try harder next time and I won't have to type again.

You "slaughter" almost every post I make. I think we seem to be having a communication problem. Please free to pm me, if need be, and I will be happy to clear it up. Thanks!

    • 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?
