Wearing Cap In Gurdwara

I dont think an adult "sikh" should be wearing a cap or hat in a Gurdwara as it sets a bad example to the younger sangat. So what else would you say to an cap wearing adult "Sikh" who is serving langar?

To the original poster, I think you believe someone other than a keshdhari would be setting a "bad" example for the "younger" sangat. It makes no difference what you use to cover your head. Hell, I've even see people use napkins.

Don't judge someone by what is or isn't on their head. Look deeper!

He who as a Sikh places a hat on their head; will be reborn seven times as a leper.

I've found if it's young adults without kes, they usually don't intend disrespect, but are ignorant or unaware. I would grab a ramal and subtly and quietly offer it to them and ask that they remove the cap (unless it was associated with some other faith). Your body language in such a situation communicates much about what you are saying. To their credit, I can only recall very respectful responses.

If I encountered any adult doing this, I would probably ask if they were not able to find ramals and grab one and offer it to them.

<br /><br />Are you promoting the use of hats/caps in a gurudwara? And how deep are we supposed to look?<br /><br />Did try to ignore your post....

thanks Arjinder bhaji for the line.

Jag, do I really need to know if you "tried" to ignore my post? Try harder next time and I won't have to type again.

You "slaughter" almost every post I make. I think we seem to be having a communication problem. Please free to pm me, if need be, and I will be happy to clear it up. Thanks!

Next time wear a paper bag to cover your head. OR even better wear a diaper.laugh.gif

What i d o i t s do does not stand for Sikhi.

    • 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.
