Guru Gobind Singh Ji's

I am a bit confused about something.

I know there been controversy around people trying to dress like guru gobind singh ji and I can fully understand this. However arent people who do this just trying to look up to their father? I mean like muslims want to replicate mohammed, what is wrong in trying to follow footsteps of our gurus?

I also see some pictures of guru gobind singh ji dastar and compare them to the actual dastar worn by guruji (located at a gudwara somewhere in punjab) and they are quite different. Ofcourse this is an artists impression, and shouldnt be thought of as 100%

Anyway my main question is why cant we try to dress like guruji and also wear the dastar how he wore it (from the pictures). It seems the dastars and puggs today are slightly different to what they were then? But again I think these pictures are a bit misleading non the less.

Sorry if i've offended in anyway but just wanted some clarity on this.

Waheguru Ji, is it Gurmeet Ram Raheem you are referring to? Its not a problem that a Sikh of the Guru ties a dumalla or a dastaar that looks like Gurujis (of-course feathers and pearls on the dastaar would be in very bad taste and even disrespectful) but the thing is that Ram Rahim isnt a Sikh. Few years back he dressed up like Guru Gobind Singh Ji and went on a stage with a battha and pink sharbat and gave it to his followers directly disrespecting Guru Gobind Singh Ji and Sikhi. Remember that "Pargateyo Khalsa Parmatma Ki Mauj", and when a mere-mortal and a pakhandi at that does such an act he is trying to diminish the value and sanctity of what happened in 1699 at Anandpur Sahib, which will prove itself to be the most important event in history. The dastaar Guruji has on in paintings are so beautiful, I don't actually think its possible to replicate the look in real life because it doesn't look like cloth - it just looks divine. The shape is so awesome right? But you can tie really nice dastaars with similar shapes, I have always liked them better than the "Rajasthani-ish" turbans. Forgive me for any mistakes. Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

And its true what you say, I saw a a youtube-video explaining that the Singhs of the Gurus time always had their whole forehead covered so no one could read the lines on their forehead, the turbans most Sikhs use now are relatively new I think. Not saying they arent beautiful as well, the Kesh make them stand out on their own and its completely fine. Waheguru.

If this is about Ram Rahim then it's more than him just dressing up like Guru Sahib, rather he's made his own Amrit which is pink and him giving it to his disciples starting with 7 people, (this is very similar to what Gurbachana did). This issue is also not about him wearing a Kalgi at the moment, rather it's about his disciples causing an invasion at a Gurdwara and making Guru Sahib a Shaheed.

Guru Gobind Singh Jee had worn a kalgi because they were "Badshah Darvesh Guru Gobind Singh" and King of all Kings. Guru Sahib did not have any ego and was not showing off. All kings wore kalgis at that time.

Since some of the Gurus sahiban wore kalgis, out of respect we shouldn't wear a kalgi. Only kings wear kalgis, so we should be humble and come infront of Guru Sahib, and not show that you are also a king.

Nowadays if a person wears a kalgi (for whatever reason), it usually shows that they have a lot of pride and ego.

edit - some singhs wear something called a farla which is a bit similar but has different meaning

I'm not sure Guru Sahib has a problem with someone wearing his style of Dastar, especially since he made Keski more important to the Panth, (despite it not being a Kakkar). But he most likely wouldn't look too much like how he does in pictures because he no body could make a picture of him. But there are some intentions which are just known to be on the negative side.

Waheguru. This is true.

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
