Guru ji said not to wear dhoti , janeu, bodhi, and tilak  we have out own style of clothes  , why not wear kurta pyjama or trousers ?

Kurta dhoti is a traditional Indian dress, its very different from janea or tilak. Janeu and tilak represent a religion(oppressive discriminatory practices of brahmins) In my personal opinion, ideally sikh guys should wear baana but if he wants to wear kurta dhoti for a change, he should be allowed. What are your views mam?

As per my knowledge, Guru Nanak dev ji spoke against janeu and other hindu practices of brahmin supremacy, I haven't read anything about what he said about dhoti. Plz correct me if am wrong.

I think it's usually associated with Brahmins pandits. Hence why Sikhs are advised not to wear it. 

Same as Sikhs would be suggested not to wear arabic white dresses Muslim men wear. 

Anyways most pandit boys also prefer kurta pjama these days. Many online retailers stop selling kurta dhoti because hindu boys don't prefer it nowadays lol.

I think kurta pajama is better in todays time, men stopped wearing chadar in Punjab couple of decades back.

That being said, everything probably feels nice and free under the chaddar!  with nice cool air flowing up the chaddar! all fresh, natural and breezy!  it must feel good!  I wouldn't say im a naturalist but i don't like wearing trousers i prefer loose baggy knee length shorts!   i don't like trousers, jeans are just horrid! everything feels trapped in jeans!  Mens fashion/trousers are just getting tighter and tighter! i don't understand what they are trying to do to us! 

Wear one if you want to, i don't see anything wrong with it! but i prefer kurta pyjama

I was watching this video a few years ago, urban middle class Hindus were discussing stuff and they said it makes more sense to wear a kurta and sari for women to office in a boiling hot country, but because Indians follow western standards they instead wear suits and ties to work when its boiling hot outside!

Pyjama is Iranian. When you say "our" style, which style are you referring to? Sikh? Punjabi? Bharati?

time tested practical wear  - trousers/jeans are second best to Bana , pyjami maybe Persian but since Punjab was an outer province so far back in history (Darius 2) it has become as good as our own . Unstitched clothing is OK for nonactive/combatant roles but we are not meant to be dressed like that . The invaders/traders may have exposed our people to stictched clothes  and I think we have benefitted from it , most Indian women dress like us Northerners, as do most men, excepting on festivals , poojas etc .

    • 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.
