Dear intrigued veer

I hv a question.

Bhai Pheru was one of the 6 bakhshishiyan of the udasi order known as sangat sahibas.

History as well as kalgidhar chamatkaar says Guru Sahib tied His half turban on bhai Pheru's head.

It means bhai pheru ji must be wearing a small dastaar on his head on top of which Guru Sahib tied His half turban.

Nihang Sher Singh ji and many present udasis say that all their saints used to wear seli topi.

What do u make of this?

Perhaps not all the udasi saints have worn seli topi. What is more likely is that as time went on and udasis separated themselves from Sikhi, it became more common for them to wear the seli topi and adopt the garb of a sadhu.

 

Those who followed the guru would have worn the dastaar

 

We can see at what time udasis began separating from the panth by looking at literature and the paintings of different time periods.

 

For example, this is a mural in Akal takht showing Siri Chand with matted hair and earrings:

Any idea when this painting was created? Looks to me to be around 19 century art...

ive seen recent article discussing more and more about udasis

baba sri chand ji promoted the chola and dastar of his gurupita, dhan sri guru nanak dev paatshah 

agree with intrigued, seli topic likely became a development after the era of dehdhari prakash of Guru Sahiban 

perhaps giani sher singh did not elaborate on the chronoloy of events because by 19th century this might have been the development

an interesting question that inspires another I am not sure whether to post here or in a different forum

but any historical reference to nirmalas adorning white bana in 18th century as brahm gyani sant baba gurbachan singh ji bhindranwale have said and many others agree

I will take the word of Sant ji. He had high avastha and beant Gyan.

I would like to see the good sikh minded udasis wear white too.

    • 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.
