Proper way to change kashera


Recommended Posts

I was reading somewhere that when changing the kashera the shoulders should also be covered?

Can someone provide a step by step on this? I know the ponchaa is changed one by one, but the covering of the shoulders is new to me...can someone explain who has knowledge on the topic?

Friend, someone must surely be trolling you.

Have you never been to Harimander Sahib? Or any other Gurdwara with a pool?

Sikh men are out there in the open with only their 5 kakkars on and nothing else (except a towel around their waist--not their shoulders).

Just observe (discreetly) by sitting in the roofed parikarma how people change their kacheras.

Just to get you started so you don't flash anybody:

1. bathe (with your kacheara on, of course). 

2, loosen your kachera to clean your privates.

3. wrap a towel around your waist and fasten securely

4. let your wet kachera fall to the ground

5. remove one foot from wet kachera.

6. insert that foot in the clean kachera

7. do same for other foot.

8. bring up your clean kachera to waist level and tighten as necessary (not fully)

9. remove towel while keeping kachera in place

10. fully tighten and tie up your kachera knot

Done.

My point exactly I have seen many singhs with there shoulders covered with a towel as well when changing the kaschera and that too at sarovers which is why I am asking. I think I may have read this from a post of gyani thakur sing from patiala but cannot find it...

It's pretty funny (and sad)... But since I have become a Sikh, so many new stories have been totally made up by people.  it seems that every year there are new stories that somehow emerge. I think our preachers need to really think about this and understand that this is doing more damage than good. Our history and maryada is becoming so diluted that it is going to be very hard in the future to separate false stories from real ones.

Excellent breakdown

    • 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.
