Fateh Jee,

Wanted to discuss about a loose dastaar. I've had this problem for ages where some days my dastaar just doesn't come out nice and firm as I would like it and there are days when I tie it too tight and my head hurts. I tie a taksali type dastaar I guess? I don't know just a gol dastaar but recently i've been thinking maybe to get that "almost" guaranteed firmness I should start tying a smaller dastaar underneath my first dastaar (bunga??) and maybe that can help. I'm trying to find some guide or some other singh maybe post one of what im kinda looking for. I don't want a massive huge nihang style dastaar, it's not what im looking for really. I just wanna strong gol dastaar that I tie over a bunga which isn't huge I think.

Can someone help? I really hate it when my dastaar feels like it can come off. I don't get this problem all the time but when I do it's kinda annoying.

Tie a keski first. Grab one end of the material and tie the ends together. Which you probably already do. But instead of having the first two lars at the base, have three lars and then go higher, where you do three lars aswell(this way it gets the round shape at the top and your dastar will be nice and firm around your head. The seventh lar comes back down just above the third lar from the bottom.

So basically, the first 3 lar's from the actual dastaar (not the keski) need to be as the bottom base around my forehead and not slowly (step by step) going up you mean right? and the last lar from the dastaar needs to come all the back down again or what do you mean but the last sentence?

Yea, but going up by just a little bit. And all three of them should go over your ears and not above the ears. This way if one lar gets a bit lose the other one will hold the dastar firm around your head. Make sure the first one is tight, if not your whole dastar will be loose.

and the last lar from the dastaar needs to come all the back down again or what do you mean but the last sentence?

The very last lar of the dastar should be at the very top, but after the three bottom lars, make three lars at the top, where the lars are going around the jora and the back of your head. So in total there should be six lars just building the base of the dastar. Three at the bottom and three at the top. After these now the seventh lar should be the fourth lar from the bottom. And the next lars, usually 4 last ones, should be creating the structure of the dastar.

I do tie my dastaar over my ears however, not on the external earlobe. So like it's kinda on the top part of the ear only. My ears hurt if I cover them all :(

Same here i dont tie the dastar completely covering my ears either. Usually everyone ties the Dastar twice a day, it eventually gets loose in the evening time.

      Child marriage questions

      By BhForce · Posted

      Yeah, that's one possibility. Another I initially thought is that it's a Muslim trying to gather info. But then, you might ask, how does he know about Sikh textual sources. Well, you'd be surprised at their resourcefulness. A final possibility is he's a weak Sikh who was asked a question by a non-Sikh and now he's suddenly feverishly wondering where it's "written" that you can't marry a young child. To the latter, I would say, you're looking in the wrong spot. Gurbani isn't a 1428 page rulebook, like Leviticus or the Vedas: ਸਿਮ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਸਾਸਤ੍ਰ ਪੁੰਨ ਪਾਪ ਬੀਚਾਰਦੇ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਬਾਝਹੁ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ The Simritis and Shastras discriminate between charity and sin, but know not the essence of the Real Thing. Without the Guru, they know not the essence of the Reality, know not the essence of the Reality. Anand Sahib.

      Starched Turbans - Topi Or Not Topi

      By BhForce · Posted

      You're confusing two different things: One is merely adding starch to a turban to get a certain feel to the fabric. The other is tying your turban once and taking it off like a hat. It is this that people have a problem with. What's wrong with it is that Rehit says to tie your turban afresh every time. If you ask, "Where is that written?", it's written in Bhai Nand Lal ji's Rehitnama. @ipledgeblue didn't just make it up. Umm, no, bro. We're not evangelical Christians like President George W Bush of the US claiming to "talk to God" who told him to invade Iraq. "Speaking to him directly" basically ends up being doing whatever you feel like with the excuse that Guru ji told you to do it. If you still want to take your turban off like a hat, feel free to do so, but don't claim that it's Rehit.

      You don't need to wear either a pag or dumalla in the gym. You can simply wear a meter or 1.5m small turban (gol pagg or round turban). It doesn't come off.

      Kissing in public

      By BhForce · Posted

      The reason you don't see anything wrong with it is because like a fish in water, you grew up in Western culture and imbibed it fully. It's very difficult to for parents to inculcate traditional culture while in the West. The reason there is a problem is because a kiss between a man and wife is a sexual act (I didn't say it's coitus, but it's still sexual.) By contrast a kiss between a mother and a child, for example, is not sexual. And in our culture, sexual acts are not allowed in public. Goras do allow it. And that's also the reason they have gay pride parades now with people walking around naked with children in attendance and so forth.
