Women in Bana Wearing Dupattas

Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, 

Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh

I am a Sikh girl who has recently started wearing a Dastaar. I chose to do this as I wish to live in the bana that the Guru set for us. I am also Amritdhari. One question came to my mind... Is wearing a Dupatta/Chunni required if I am wearing a Dastaar. From my belief, Dupattas/Chunnis are meant to cover hair as a sign of respect for the Guru. Wearing a Dastaar permanently takes care of that. However, I see several women that have Keskis, yet they use a Dupatta/Chunni to wrap it around their breasts/bust. Is that the whole point of a Dupatta? To simply cover one's breasts? Women without keski/dastaar are often just covering their chest with a Dupatta/Chunni yet have their heads uncovered. Defeats the whole purpose... So simply put, is it preferred for women in Gurdwaras to cover their breasts over their hair? And if I am wearing a Keski, then is it preferred if I also wear a Dupatta/Chunni to cover my breasts? I would be grateful if someone could shine some light on this issue for me. Thank you. 

 

Kind Regards

Bhain ji 

if your body is covered to your neck i.e. not low cut neckline  and your kameez is loosely cut I wouldn't worry so much about the dupatta as your head is covered . However as we all know most suits are form fitting and when doing things like matha tekna and bending to pick up something a bit more is revealed than we would like so to preserve modesty a dupatta is wise , occasionally comes in handy too for wiping a brow or kiddies tears . Just go according to what you are wearing and what you think presents a modest image in Front of your Guru Pita

There is no Hukamnama that requires the wearing of a Dupatta.  Guru Gobind Singh Ji gave a Hukamnama in Nander Sahib (52 Hukams) for all Sikhs to tie Dastaar.  Sikh Rehat Maryada says that a woman may or may not tie a Dastaar, but that her head must be covered at all times.

Guru Gobind Singh Jee looks the most dignified and graceful, and he does that without wearing a chunni. 

To OP, just do what you feel is right for you. 

 

Actually, Mata Gujri Ji also look graceful and dignified and DID wear a chunni. Just saying that statement above makes no sense. The whole World knows that Guru Gobind Singh didn't wear a chunni!! Have some satkar your sarcasm is out of order. Do whatever but don't use Maharaj in this way.

Bhul chuk maaf.

I'm not using sarcasm.

Guru sahib still looks the most dignified and graceful to me.

It's not the chunni that makes someone look that way, it's the character and qualities.

Seriously?  Yes chunni/duputta is very important. Purataan bibiyan wore it and so should we. There are many reasons as listed above. Going in darbar infront of guru granth sahib ji you need one. You need to cover yourself up. Just because you dont have bad thoughts, doesnt mean you are not tempting others on it. Itll be on you at the end. 

Every bibi wearing dastar needs to have a duputta when wearing a suit. Plus, suits look totally awkward without ones anyways

    • 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.
