Is The Dumalla Getting Too Common?

Recommended Posts

Just want to get the sangats views here.

Whenever daas sees a dumalla wale singh I get proud and happy. And the automatic reaction is he reads bani, he is a gursikh, follows rehat etc...

But on Facebook i have seen some singhs wearing a dumalla and writing dirty comments on girl’s pictures and posting music videos. Now this is the last this i would imagine from somebody wearing a dumalla.

So are we losing the value of the dumalla? Is it just becoming a fashion statement for everybody to tie one?

Im not complaining that people should stop wearing a dumalla, it’s just the type of people wearing dumalleh.

daas wants people to tie a dumalla, but there should be some guidlines.:\

Fareed, my clothes are black, and my outfit is black.

I wander around full of sins, and yet people call me a dervish - a holy man. ||61||

Fareed, if you have a keen understanding, then do not write black marks against anyone else.

Look underneath your own collar instead. ||6||

As above post, yes nindhiya is wrong.

But I do feel the approach needs to be reviewed, at the end of the day, its our own brothers and sisters. We are not judging anyone, its love for the bana and what it represents.

If we push the external attire before the youth is ready internally then can easily cause damage to the whole koum when they go through their rebellious stage.

same with Hijab, now you see it as a fashion statement, ironically whilst wearing the most inappropriate clothes?

The concerns are real, if we push the Bana too soon, before the youth is ready.. we'll start seeing Dumulla Bana wearing alcoholics?

As with the OP.. guidelines.. but how? Amritdhari only? permission by 5 Pyaare?

The dastaar is just an external experience and the respect and honour it once had isn't there anymore. It's all what's inside. How could you for a moment think that people especially todays youth who wear tall dastaara have an ounce of rehit/maryada inside them?

Dastar doesn't automatically = Gursikhi Jeevan i'm afraid.

Not judging either really, at the end of the day only Guru Sahib knows who are the ones with KHOKHLEY hearts and those with Pyaar. Shouldn't really look at how others with Dastaars act rarther have the thinking that "okay, i'm wearing my Gurus dastaar and I won't go to a place or do an action my Guru himself would not."

Facebook has fake people, and also some people don't treat it seriously and think its some kind of joke. But they will regret this was employers and etc also check internet.

Also dumalla and bana is being used more and more outside the fauj of khalsa since during the British Raaj, so obviously those not following kshatri/warrior dharam (as laid out by Guru Gobind Singh) will be dressed in these more and more. In kaliyuga this will happen more and more!

    • 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.
