Why don't Sikh brides cover their heads?

Sikh women are perhaps the MOST deluded and non-practicing to the point of self-loathing and sikhi-hating kind I see in the world of any communities

Do you think this is because media brainwashes us to think that lots of makeup is "true beauty"? I think that this is the biggest problem.

I have seen this a lot, I think that when you go to the gurdwara (or anywhere in general but especially the gurdwara) you should be simple because you are being disrespectful right in front of Guru Ji. Vaheguru Ji has given you a beautiful face, yet you think that you can do a better job by painting your face. This is the nature of humans, we long for what we don't have. Everyone is pretty and beautiful in their own way. We should be thanking Vaheguru for giving us guidance (with Sikhi) in this life yet we waste it by worrying about how we look.

This is a very beautiful image.  If only I saw it more at the Gudwara.  All that indigo, a woman with a kara and kirpan visible, her husband with full length kirpan with yellow cord, both of them wearing the paaj in dumala, all those other guys in indigo, and the ones in western clothing having indigo paaj to, one even with a yellow fifty!  It's amazing!

My earlier comment is that I don't feel women are involved in Sikhi as much as they were in the past.  They are wives kept out of discussion when women are so important in our history.  I'm not a feminist, but I don't understand my own feeling on this.

Yes it is a beautiful image and I agree women are not as involved as they used to be.

    • 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.
