Best feeling ever literally, you need to feel it to believe ji. Be tyar // tyar get yourself to the next one. Das is wearing bana, kamarkasa, hazooria dont feel like taking it ever off. So much Kirpa. 

What exactly is "baana"? forgive my ignorance. Can kurta pajama, pathani suit , thobe etc count as baana too as all are similar dresses ?

I don't think bana is necessary. When I went to my amrit sanchar, I was the only person wearing a bana excluding the panj pyare, the rest wore kurta pajama. They will ask you to take off your pajama though.

Well, because the guard tells you to. If you're asking why the guard tells you to take your pajama off, it's because in the Amrit Sanchar, the rules of Sikh uniform are enforced. If, for some reason, you arrive with your beard tied up, they will make you parkash your beard. 

It should be noted that if, for some reason, you have to appear at the Akal Takhat, you may not appear with a tied-up beard.

In this topic, I don't really want to get into whether you should parkash your beard all the time or whether you should wear bana all the time (without pajama), but I am merely noting that these rules are enforced at Amrit Sanchar, whether by the Nihangs or by SGPC.

Taking off your pajama also functions to verify that you have an appropriate kachera on. This Gurmat maryada is sexist. Women do not take off salwar. Only men are forced to to do so.

    • 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.
