Bibis Looking Like Muslims

Gurfateh sadhsangat

First things first I really respect the bibia that are so close to mahraj and don't care in the least about the public opinion of them and cover their head in Guru Sahib's hukam.

However, daas' request is please instead of patka with joora at the back of the head, please where a Dastar which is the true crown of Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj's Kaurs. The idea is that we should not be confused for any religion other than Sikh, however many times when I see a bibi outside with a patka I can not tell if she is a muslim or a Sikh. When I see a bibi outside with no head covering, then she could be pretty much any religion lol. It is my humble request that we should not be wearing religious articles which are identical to those of other faiths, especially when Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj has given the dastaar to both men and women so that you are always represnting the Guru's roop.

Let alone when outside in the world, but even in the Gurdwara, say for example when a patka is worn with a chunni over it, or even a chunni over a keski which is totally flat due to the joora being at the back of the head, the appearance is almost identical to that of a muslim bibi.

I have noticed even the way some bibi wear just chunni on its own, eg. bibi ashupreet kaur and jatha look like muslims 100% sorry to say.

For this reason it is my request to all bibia and singhs on the path, please wear one of the gurmat dastars (gurmukhi dastar, dumalla, gol dastar, keski etc) in gurmat colour (blue,black,white, yellow/orange), and with joora not too backwards on the head i.e.it should be tied at the top/centre of the head, then you will be dressed in the distinct manner of a son or daughter of Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharj. Also with or without a chunni you will still look distinctly Sikh. Please look like a son or daughter of Guru Maharaj, not of Mohammed or of a Hindu(Who has a bare head).

Bhull chukk maaf if I have offended anyone, as that was not my intention, this post was not meant to be a judgment of anyone, but it was written out of love for Guru Mahraj, the panth (my sisters in that panth) and Guru's roop. I just want to see this panth of ours to flourish, and also to never miss saying Fateh to any Gursikh I see in public especially not because I couldn't tell if they were Sikh or not.

And definetly if you do cover your head for Sikhi, whether that be with patka or whatever please don't stop. I'm just humbly requesting the sangat to move on to dastar/keski now.

heres an example

although most people even desis/sikhs think i am muslim lol i dont like that they are so unaware of it but i would never stop wearing chunni over dastaar just because i want people to distinguish me from muslim girls.

lol me my sis and a friend always get looks from muslims because we show skin (short sleeves)

chunni over dastar is sick

maibhago-2.jpg

and it shud be wore when bibia go out and gurghars but I agree 100 percent with original poster, BIBI Ashupreet Jatha is the example which I personally felt many times when I saw her.

I cant imagine a BiBi With keski alone doing Kirtan :o

chunni is must to have but dastar shud also be visible.

I am not saying not to wear chunni, in fact I think chunni is very important to wear, however when doing so the dastar worn must be a proper one. I too have seen such muslims headwear as in the picture however a properly tied dastar where the joora is more to the front and not slanting back could not be mistaken for that muslim headdress.

The other thing that can help is to only wear gurmat colours such as blue, white,yellow/orange or black for dastar, chunni and clothing. However I think especially for bibia wearing all black, especially black keski with black chunni gives more of a muslim look in these days, so the other three colours are better. Most of the muslim clothing is either fully black or if it is one of those big muslim headdresses they tend to wear multicoloured scarves with patterns, so wearing plain chunni in a khalsa colour can help to distinguish even further. bhul chukk maaf.

eg. i think the following could not be mistaken for muslims even though they are wearing a chunni as the keski underneath has been tied properly with the joora at the TOP/CENTRE of the head.

Gursikh bibia should also dress respectfully and not in a revealing manner.

Whether or not people want to wear a chunni over their dastar is not very important, the key is wearing a dastar and acting, speaking and dressing properly.

Dupatta or Chunni over Dastaar looks graceful and feminine.

Frankly without chunni girls look like Tomboys (which is not at all attractive).

I agree that singhnia need to start wearing dastaars not patke or chunnia, Guru Arjan Dev ji maharaj wrote Baavan Akhree for Mata Ganga ji and told them to wear a dastaar, it's also important for us.

Chunnia = impractical :) and unnecessary as your head's already covered

With all due respect bhaji, you have probably never worn a chunni (I hope not anyway :p) so you may not fully understand why so many of us choose to wear chunnia over our dastaars :)

All I'm going to say is that a chunni provides a little more modesty than usual which is unfortunately required these days. It can be worn "khilaar keh" a bit like a shawl which keep us covered up and makes me personally feel a lot more comfortable.

    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
    • Wasn't Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom on amd always commemorated on 6th June? How come it was 30th May?  Just like 6th June 84, where the likes of Terrorists like Indira Gandhi chose to attack Darbar Sahib where many many innocent Sikhs would suffer, as they went to commemorate Martyrdom of Maharaj.
