In true gurmat practice- No colours matter

- No hiding the face completely like the old chund

-No piercings

- No excessive make up like bright red bindis, bright lipstick and henna.

Although, i'm sure that there is nothing wrong with using feminine beauty clarifying products like cleansers, exfollients, clear complexion creams...etc..

-I don't think a lehnga is any problem

- I have seen chura or vanga being worn, although they only have a few.

Maybe I wouldn't wear to many on the arm your kara is on or say that they hide and mask the kara.

I'm sure that as long as your kara can be clearly seen it's OK for a few churhas, after all a feminine look is still feminine and Guru Nanak ji talked more about equality rather than dampening feminine looks !

In terms of outfit or what you wear, I completely agree with Raj Karega khalsa ji above that there is no hard fast rule, and you can wear whatever you feel appropriate as long as it is not extra loud.

So you don't agree with Bhai Daya Singh ji's Rehat?

The Khalsa life style is split into all three nature -diet/life style in accordance to Giani Gian Singh and Bhai Daya Singh. Please read the rehitnama of bhai dya singh ji in its totality -where he talks about sato, rajo, tamo life style/dietary.

Bhai dya singh ji rehitnama put an end to all the controversies including never ending meat debate started close to 100 years, rehitnama talks about khalsa can subscribe to any three gunas diet/life style or mix the lifestyle as it suitation warrants- sato(sant), rajo(house holder-gristhi), tamo (nihangs in jung suitation) based on their life style.

May be Prabhjot Singh veer can help us with direct quote from bhai dya singh ji rahitnama.. I read it long time ago on hard copy.

Waheguru Jeo,

Here is Bhai Daya Singh Ji's Rehitnama jeo:

I think we'll have to read the whole Rehitnama to understand it fully but the last 3 pages are perhaps more relevant to current discussion, the last page has rehit for bihangham singhs..

Mahankosh:

ਸੰ. कुसुम्भ ਕੁਸੁੰਭ. {ਸੰਗ੍ਯਾ}. ਅਗਨਿ- ਸ਼ਿਖ. ਅੱਗ ਦੀ ਸ਼ਿਖਾ ਜੇਹਾ ਜਿਸ ਦਾ ਫੁੱਲ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ, ਐਸਾ ਇੱਕ ਬੂਟਾ, ਅਤੇ ਇਸ ਦੇ ਫੁੱਲ ਦੀਆਂ ਕੇਸਰ ਜੇਹੀਆਂ ਤਰੀਆਂ. ਇਸ ਦਾ ਲਾਲ ਰੰਗ ਬਹੁਤ ਭੜਕੀਲਾ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ, ਪਰ ਧੁੱਪ ਅਤੇ ਜਲ ਨਾਲ ਤੁਰਤ ਫਿੱਕਾ ਪੈ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ. ਗੁਰਬਾਣੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਮਾਇਕ ਪਦਾਰਥਾਂ ਦੇ ਚਮਤਕਾਰ ਕੁਸੁੰਭਰੰਗ ਜੇਹੇ ਵਰਣਨ ਕੀਤੇ ਹਨ. "ਕੂੜਾ ਰੰਗ ਕਸੁੰਭ ਕਾ". (ਸ੍ਰੀ ਮਃ ੩) "ਹਥੁ ਨ ਲਾਇ ਕਸੁੰਭੜੈ ਜਲਿ ਜਾਸੀ ਢੋਲਾ". (ਸੂਹੀ ਫਰੀਦ) ਦੇਖੋ, ਜਲਿ। (2) ਕੁਸੁੰਭੇ ਦੀ ਤਰਾਂ ਟਪਕਾਇਆ ਅਤੇ ਕੁਸੁੰਭੇ ਜੇਹੇ ਰੰਗ ਦਾ ਅਫ਼ੀਮ ਦਾ ਰਸ, ਜੋ ਰਾਜਪੂਤਾਨੇ ਵਿੱਚ ਬਹੁਤ ਕਰਕੇ ਵਰਤੀਦਾ ਹੈ. "ਪਾਨ ਡਰਾਇ ਕਸੁੰਭੜੇ ਰੂਰੋ". (ਚਰਿਤ੍ਰ ੧੧੧) ਅਫੀਮ ਦੇ ਰਸ ਵਿੱਚ ਸ਼ਰਾਬ ਮਿਲਾਕੇ.

Thanks for posting that prabhjot singh ji, really appreciate..will go over it shortly.

In the meantime, prem Sumarag granth one of most puratan granths, has full chapter of sikh marriage for grishti householder sikhs- some of things does not make sense when we look at it from today's perspective but some of things are very detailed and make sense. I urge every one to read it - take whatever you can from it.

Marriage starts from page- 20

Which bit's don't agree ?

I'm not sure about how far you take this makeup business.??

You state in true gurmat.....................which makes it that Bhai Daya Singh ji is not expressing true Gurmat with the rehat.

I have no opinion on this issue, but you do when you stated true gurmat...........................Opinions would only hold value if they made sense with Gurmat and we did not have an authority, like the Punj Pyare clearing this question the OP has asked. However we do have an authority clearing the issue, which means there is only three things left to do for a Sikh as Gurbani states. Accept it as the truth (the rehat is coming from Bhai Daya Singh ji) be content with it, that it is the truth, and then contemplate in the mind that i am low and rehat is high, one day by contemplating on Gurbani I hope Satguru blesses me with how and why this rehat is the truth.

Just gave the chapter on marriage a brief perusal. Do modern-day Sikhs (the rehatvaan types of course) still follow those ways in their entirety, i.e. presenting the Singhni to be married with shashtars? Also do chardikala Sikh families stick to the time-frames specified in the granth?

    • lol dal panth Panj told me explicitly not to associate with Vadhbhag Singh Sodhi followers!
    • 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.  
    • Author Posted April 24   On 4/21/2025 at 2:43 PM, ipledgeblue said: sirr should not be nanga because keski is usually worn.   Sikhs can sleep nanga-sirr if they choose to . 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?
