Sikh women wearing clothing in the Gudwara

I recently have been to a wedding at a Gudwara and was amazed to see so many Sikh women wearing the wrong type of clothing inside the Gudwara.

I saw many women wearing low cut tops, sleeveless suits, sarees suits, low cut suits on the back, tight trouser suits and also when sitting in front of the Gurugranth Sahib their heads were not covered or half covered.

I very much thought this to be extremely derogatory and a huge lack of respect to our Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Its not a fashion show to go to the gurdwara!! I wanted to know what are the sangats views on this and what can be better done to put sense into these people who do these things. Is this the modern Sikhi???

It's not a fashion show but it is a wedding. People wear the same clothes through the day including the party hence they all seem to wear the most fashionable clothes (when else would you wear them?).

The clothes tend not to bother me so much as the chunni that goes over the back of the hair rather than covering the head.

Respect for Guru Ji comes from within so unless they have love and respect for Guru Ji the thoughts about their appearance aren't addressed. These are also most likely people not to bother coming to the Gurdwara other than when they have to. Yet when I went to a wedding recently, the nonSikhs had done a better job of covering their head. Shameful.

Perhaps had the start, once everyone's assembled but before anything happens, one of the Giani Jis should make the announcement of ensuring people cover their head.

Exactly H!! If these girls don't know how to dress or behave in a gurdwara then they shouldn't go. Try to behave as per the rules before going in. We are so quick to pounce on some Mona or a Gora who accidentally forgets to cover their head when going to do Matha tek but get scared or shy away when we have to tell the girls who have come for the wedding to dress properly and cover up. They were wearing these

I recently went to to a wedding and saw a group of girls who obviously never come to a gurdwara. Didn't know how to sit, legs spread everywhere!!! That was bad. Churriyan waliyan pants that were too tight for their legs and worse of all wearing half cut tops bearing almost all. That was not good. All I could say was 'Waheguru help teach these girls how to behave in a gurdwara'.

These girls need a good slap If they dress like that before comin to the gurdwara!!

I personally believe if you do not wear bana to guru ji's darbar then you should not go at all. I think guru ji will get angry with anyone who is not wearing bana in the same way he would if someone is wearing low cut tops, sleeveless suits, sarees suits, low cut suits on the back etc.

    • 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.
