Blue Kashara?


Recommended Posts

Guest noonespecial

Obviously there is no written proof anywhere about what color a kashera should be. All those who say it can be any color are looking for proof of what color it should be.

So at times like this, I PERSONALLY, look to every ucha-sucha uchee avastha Gursikh in Sikhi and say to myself "What did THIS person do?"

Bhai Randheer Singh Jee - white kashera

Sant Baba Harnaam Singh Jee - white kashera

Sant Baba Nand Singh Jee - white kashera

Sant Jarnail Singh Jee Bhinderwale - white kashera

Sant Baba Isher Singh Jee - white kashera

Sant Baba Attar Singh Jee - white kashera

(if you doubt this, please look at the pictures of these Gursikhs)

So please people, let's gain a little perspective. No one can change your mind, so please, if you feel like wearing a pink polka dot kashera...GO RIGHT AHEAD!

But personally, I'm a copycat in life. I try my best to copy the jeevans of those Gursikhs that have attained muktee in this life. If they didn't wear any other color other than white kashera, then I don't think I will be either.

That's all I have to say...

bhul chuk di khima..

Thanks for everyone giving their views, expecially Mkhalsa, PSingh and NooneSpecial!! :wub:

It is certain everyone has their own views, but my own personal views is that outside does not matter, the inside matters most. Do whatever you want outside, you can show your a amritdhari from outside, but inside you can be something whole lot different.

Another questions (sorry), so if it is white, white that = purity. Why dont we just wear only WHITE. White kachera, white keski, white clothes, white everything... wont it help us remind purity than. I have many relatives that are nanaksari and adopt this. Its just tradition coming down. But come on guys, why do we have to argue this. Think about inside guys, INSIDE. And yes ask panj pyaray i would recommend that too. :cool:

bhul chuk maph!

ofcourse a sikh is supposed to be pure inside out, and both are important. where guru sahib gave us His own saroop for the outside, He gave us gurbani and naam for the inside. we usually hear monays, or as they like to call themselves - sahajdharis..yah sounds nice , saying that only inside matters as guru sahib's not gonna

look at one's outside. But outside is as important as inside too. if you are in proper bana and everything you will remember that you are guru saroop and will hesitate to do anything that you shouldn't do. your outside keeps reminding you of guru sahib all the time and you are more likely to be pure on the inside too, or atleast thats what i think :wub:

oh and for kashera i wear offwhites. but all i know is Blue and Orange Kashera is a big NO NO. cuz these colors are for dastars/ siropas/ chunni and cholas only. also kesari is nishan sahib's color so we respect that and cant wear for kashera...common sense. rolleyes.gif

Jio,

Thanks for the replies. I have nothing more to say but what everyone believes is what they believe right. Everyone have their own beliefs. I believe we dont have to be ritually strict on this, cuz i honestly believe if guru ji saw me he wouldnt judge me whether i wear a blue, orange or white kachera, but whether my deeds i have done, are good or bad.

jeao nirmal bahroh nirmal

jeeahu mailae baahuruhu nirumul

Inwardly polluted, and outwardly pure.

That is what i was saying too veerji :wub:

bhul chuk maph!

veer jee,

guru sahib DOES CARE. thats the point!!

the more rehat we follow, the more guru sahib will adore us. look at it this way, we can say we love guru sahib as much as we want, but without rehat to back it up, its nothing.

would a gora tell their girlfriend they love them but dont ever want to marry them or give them anything? the girl would leave him!!

love is such a thing in this world that you need to basically put your money where your mouth is!

rehat pyare mukh ko, sikh pyare nahi.

if you wore a blue kashera, a nihang would beat you up.

haha thats pretty harsh. does the color of someones kashera really hurt that much? u cant even see people's kashera so saying its worn to show roop is kind of wrong. like daas n daas said its whats on the inside that matters because u can see some sardars that are just like other people and dont even step inside a gurdwara or even go to a nagar kirtan and some people with only a kara might visit the gurdwara regularily. it all depends how u look at it. blue can symbolize purity as well it makes u think of the cool calm ocean.

    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
