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.

    • 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.
