This Dastaar that we wear has been blessed to us by the Tenth Master, Sri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib Ji Maharaaj. This is our crown 👑. We should always respect our turban, as it makes us stand out and it represents who we are. We should never forget the Shaheed Singhs and Singhnia who sacrificed their lives for the Dastaar. ❤ Thank you Basics of Sikhi for this informative and helpful video. Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh! 🙏💙
Thank you so much for this sister. I have not yet taken Amrit, so I'm still getting used to covering my head. I tie a turban using long scarves I already have. When I sleep, I unwrap my turban and pin my hair up, but I haven't gotten to covering my head at night yet. On my days at home, I pin up my hair and wear a scarf as a chunni. There's no Gurdwara here, and there's so much watered down, confused info on the internet about Sikhi - I rely on BoS for correct guidance based on Gurbani. Thank you so much for your service to the Panth!
Great ji 👍🙏.... At the night, earlier i also didn't use to cover my head.... but now i cover my head with a small patka and tie it lightly .... it is really beneficial as u do path in the bed and directly go to sleep.... dastar is really important for conserving the energy.... I believe u should avoid listening to the negative stuff about Sikhi and history online...as it will doesn't do any good for u ... regards 😇
Still, it won't help you to get the state of Karamkhand and Sachkhand Body discipline won't be helpful as mentioned in Sukhmani Sahib (Gurbaani). Mann Dhovo Shabad Laago, Har Siyo Raho Chitt Laaye ||
nah this all bullshit, you can remove your turban long as it is treated with care, in public dont remove it as your hair will get dirty and stuff, but def remove it while sleeping or maybe even at home, sikhi isnt islam, turban is for taking care of your kes it is not a hijab for covering up
Personally as a female dastaar wearer I feel it's important to a Chunni when drying my hair or staying in for the day/evening as our hair needs light and air, our pores need to breathe and traction alopecia can and will happen. I think keski and chunni could have got more of a mention, Sikhi is not a ‘Dastars club.’
My entire family is that of devout sikhs, but nobody is an amritdhari, since all of them are from army and time and again had to take their turban off because they would excercise in scorching heat and their head would ache. Additionally, they do not want to disrespect Guru Sahib ji by not following all his traditions properly, so all men in my family keep their turban/patka tightly wrapped around unless they are in the house, when they tie it in a small bun. My point being since I am a sikh but not an amritdhari is it okay to leave my hair in a ponytail or bun instead of covering it completely ? Or does this apply to all sikhs ?
Im sorry but the implication given in video is keski is a kakar. Utterly false. Covering head is respect - in the bani mentioned it shows when eating prashad or going out. Kes is the kakar which you should never be without
@@neev_anandDonot How is it a Sin lol. Hairs needs air also. You should not cover your head 24 hrs it will have effect on your hairs. Focus on God rather than these beleives.
Let God judge and instruct us. Sikhs should not act like agents of god. Only Gurbani has correct answers. Read Gurbani. Don't follow random Sikhs on the internet.
We are about to end kal yug and there will be great changes coming. Focus on the 5 virtues, remember our will isn’t stronger than WaheGurus, love comes from realising we are all one community WJKKWJKF
What about mma fighters? There has been some high profile fighters, including boxers who can’t wear their dastars during fights, is this against sikhi?
Ssa bhen, you might forget it can be removed if it can save someone life. If i see someone drowning i would not sitting there i will do something and if required and take off my turban to help them.
yes, if they compete in sports or are young of age or just started their journey in Sikhi, they may wear it but even if they aren't, it is OK as long as their head is covered and they can start to learn how to tie a dastar
@@Jujhar_L.F.C I don’t really think so ji. Because many, especially in the west don’t leave the habit of wearing a patka even when they’re adults. The dastaar is just so majestic and Sikhs have always tied one. The patka is nothing but a new phenomenon and it’s completely eaten up the dastaars which is very unfortunate. First, they tie a patka, then bandana or durags which mentioned in the video are not allowed. Also, the quote they gave from Gurbani speaks of tying the dastaar larh by larh, how can one do that with a patka and truly feel a connection with the dastaar? ruclips.net/video/guIzfBMCacg/видео.html Video by Gurmat Bibek that enlightened me
@@Amritpalsingh93 2:54 Patka/Bandana should not be tied ji. Guru Sahib has given us a dastaar. Bandanas take away our identity and it's like you're hiding by wearing a bandana. It's not the Sikh way at all. Tie your dastaar larh by larh ji we're able to wear it with pride thanks to many sacrifices done by Shaheeds.
@@KhaalasPanjab i think you slightly misunderstood what i meant i agree with you when you say that the dastar gives you more connection with sikhi but i also said in my previous comment that everything i listed was ok...as long as they start to learn how to tie a dastar (that is at the end of my comment)
I saw an interesting article in 'the week' magazine about one of Guru Nanak's descendants who is a finance professional in new york, Vikramaditya Bedi. He also does not wear the Turban as he felt this was only relevant during wartime. Guru Nanak wore a topi, not a Turban as incorrectly depicted in most images so I doubt he also grew out his hair. I suppose it should be left as a personal preference rather than a religious mandate.
@@ashla7323 when gurus son or grand son doesn't matter and sikhs believe in all gurus not just guru nanak and how you know if he wore topi or turban we dont know what he looked like
How to manage a helmet. Should i wear a patka underneath? I am a mona Sikh motorcycle rider so im asking. One day i might keep kess and wear dastar. Although when i go to the Gurdware I wear a Dastar
The place where I live is very hot and humid and thus when I tie my dastar for prolonged period, I've started to loose my hair due to sweat so I don't tie dastar at home so that my hairs are dry. Is there any way I can tie my dastar and get no hairfall because as I sikh, I really value my hairs and would like to maintain it properly. Please reply, waheguru ji ka Khalsa, waheguru ki Fateh
You should see the comfort of your head and care for your hair. Don't follow the rules told by some random person on some RUclips channel. Connect yourself with Gurbaani, only Guru can give the correct answers.
you dont have to wear a dastar at all times especially at home or doing sports. many sikh athletes performed without wearing anything and nobody complained. this video is too extreme and turning into a ritual
so does it mean that i am a huge sinnner cuz have eaten so much food at home without wearing anything on my head for the past 15 years im sorry im deeply sorry
I just watched this video too and found out I went through 16 years without covering my head while eating. Just dont let this thing drag you into tehndi kalah. Do ardaas, ask for forgiveness and start covering your kes when eating. Guru sahib is the most merciful and compassionate.
It is one of many ways to take care of your body. In this case it is sikh tradition. To someone either no practicing or more moderate it would seem like an arbitrary of vestigial rule that isnt necessary to take care of your body, and to someone who is practicing the tradition it is fairly important and something they give attention to. Both can be true and okay. For example I am a musician and i think it is important to keep our instruments in tune. Yet most people are not musician and dont own instruments to keep in tune. That doesnt mean they are bad people or that they nees to learn music. It also doesnt mean I will stop tuning my instruments or saying its important and being happy when others do learn.
I have a lot of love and respect for gurus but women doning a turban is a modern phenomenon and no women before the british concortion of the panth wore a turban neither took Amrit. Even Mata Sahib Devi ji never used Kaur name, even the latest suffix of Devan ji has been very convienienty put with her name simply ridiculing the history just because that is more acceptable to pseudo sikhs than her real name. Atleast one can read all hukumnamas issued by her with her name.
First time I've heard of this, I always remove my turban when I change at the gym or am sitting at home with headphones, working, etc. I thought it was only needed to be covered in public. What you're saying here is very impractical and impossible in many scenarios. Sikh practices are simple and practical guidelines, and burning in the "fires of hell" seems like non-sikh theology.
My understanding and thats with all indians this is one of most lenient relgion and thats the reason it got formed and its important to have a turban rather kach kang kada kirpan kesh but its very flexible and thats what people should capture the essence
Sir Sharma you are mistaken that is typical response from biased people who do not know the essence of Sikhi, “girlfriend “ says it all in your response

Of course why wouldn’t you
Is one allowed to moisturize/ give care to the hairs prior to covering? Like oils and things like that.
Yes of course, you can oil your hair then cover your hair after. I do that
Yes!! Plus, you don’t have to keep it covered 24/7.
Sunlight is necessary. Just cover it at certain times.
