Veer I think the pag makes no difference. But the person does. Majority of young people tie a pag and then shave their dhaari, I have more of a issue with that because either keep kesh and wear the pag and grow within your faith, or just cut your kesh (and dhaari) and don't wear the pag.

Agree with everything you say, but surely the dastar makes a difference, from a practical view if not anything else. One of my relatives wears one and in the evening he plonks it on to the sideboard and the satkar is missing in this case right?

plus I can never imagine a bibi wearing one, not that I've witnessed at least.....

Lol Pra, might just happen sooner rather later. You can need say never.

Your right aswell, the pag with starch on it does lose it's satkar, but I think the satkar can only be present if the sikh (male or female) has satkar for the gurus pyaari roop in the first place.

I find some Nihang Singh what tie HUGE dumalla out of satkar alil misguided. If something so big is gonna affect your physical fighting, it's just unpractical and like in sheikh farids bani, we shouldn't be afraid if getting dirt on our pag, because we will all be dirt very soon.

To sum up what I think: Khalsa roop satkar first has to begin with satkar of Maryada within the insaan male/female.

Hopefully the sikh who ties the starched turban may understand why it may be deemed as inappropriate to the guru roop.

I'm guilty of wearing a patka, it's hard wearing a pag when in the gym but I guess this is just an excuse right. I guess a dumalla would be better suited, but I have yet to master the dumalla tying technique.

I'm sorry satkar is highly important for dastar , siropa given to Guru Amar Das ji by Guru Angad Dev was tied on his head as he wanted to maintain utmost satkar. Guru Gobind Singh ji removed his shoes to walk through Chamkaur di madaan because he did not want his shoes to tread on any kesh or dastar ...do you not think they got dusty then ? please realise Guru ji's hukham is to do satkar always. If we started wearing starched turbans and took them off and on like hats then they have become topis however if like my Dad tied a fresh starched dastar everyday, washing and extracting starch from rice to ensure neat finish to his dastar and untied it maintaining satkar always surely this is different? Dad used to wear a starched one back in the early sixties-seventies and even put fixo in his dhardi to set it neat for the office but once he had amrit in 1975 he stopped starching his dastar and beard . Then when he had amrit again in Jatha reinsbhai as there were questionable instructions given by panj piarey (can wear makeup, jewellery(including earrings) can eat fish/maas) he started wearing two dastars small gol under soft nok vali pagg . people change with more information about Sikhi

Make-up and jewelry aren't Bhujer Kurehits,(though both are not recommended).

    • 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.
