Tie it with your gatra. i have a string attached to the kanga which is use to tie to the gatra. I wash my kesh separately from regular ishnan. so when i wash my kesh i tie my gatra around my chest.

Do Kesh in a sink or bowl?

I need to learn to tie a Jura. My kesh is getting too long for anything else.

As a foreign convert, who is not yet Amritdhari I don't tie one. I will not keep full Saroop until I'm worthy to do so. That is also something I will have to learn right before receiving Amrit. 

Oh okay. Good luck. Then do you just have your kesh out?

I'm not amritdhari yet but I've been wearing a dastaar since around when I was 5.

My kesh are long (like up to my knees) so I only properly learnt to do a joorha like last year, my mum used to do it. I wrap my kesh around my hand once to create like a circle thingy and then wrap it like twice or three times underneath it and then pull the remaining kesh through the circle thingy and then the two or three times I've wrapped it underneath kind of goes inside the circle thingy, and then pull the remaining kesh and secure it and then wrap that remaining kesh around it once. That probably didn't make sense but I hope that helped.

I keep it tied and under a slouchie hat. But it's grown down my back, so I tuck into my shirt sometimes and other times it's out on my back but not my head uncovered.

    • 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.
