Jo sikh sir topi....

[Balwinder Singh]

There is a tuk "beleived" to be said by Guru Sahib about Topi or Cap.It goes something like this:

"Jo sikh sir topi thhare,

Sat janam Kushtee hoyee maree"

I was just curious if somebdy has any reference to the above tuk.I just want to know who(among the 10 gurus) said this and what were the circumstances under which they uttered the above tuk.

I also never found anywhere in Gurbani where our guru sahib mentioned "saat janam" or "seven incarnations".

Can somebdy plz explain what does "saat janam" implies here?And also where can we find the reference to the above tuk.

If we search for cap we find two instances:

Page 939, Line 8 -- Guru Nanak Dev

aUNDau Kpru pMc BU topI ]

Let your mind turn away in detachment from the world, and let this be your begging bowl. Let the lessons of the five elements be your cap.

Page 1167, Line 14 -- Saint Nam Dev

ijin Awkws kulh isir kInI kausY spq pXwlw ]

Your cap is the realm of the Akaashic ethers; the seven nether worlds are Your sandals.

Thanks.

I have very little knowledge about gurbani,

but I shall jus say that above quotes aren't suppose ti be littral, as in put on ur cap or somethin

g

its jus like thers bani about Muslims saying i.e

Let this be your that

let this be your mecca

I can't remember the exact quote

but main point is,

its nto telöling us at all to wear topi

sorry wasn't too mcuh help

Thanks for ur reply.I am fully convinced that wearing cap is wrong for Sikh.Sikhs should not hide their identity.Sikhs should be proud of wht Guru Gobind Singh ji gifted us.And we guyz look gr8 in turbans :e: :nihungsmile: :ww::

I also never found anywhere in Gurbani where our guru sahib mentioned "saat janam" or "seven incarnations".

There's' plenty of reference to being born again and again or to die again and again, I'm not sure whether there is any mention of any particular number of times, I will do a search later on. If there was, I think it might be a figurative meaning.

[Balwinder Singh]

Thanks for providing the reference. I was curious because somebdy told me that the above tuk was said by Guru Har Rai ji or Guru Harkrishen ji.So I just wanted to know under what circumstances did they say the same.

Thanks again for ur time.
