ummm i do not know.......

when i was a kid living in Amritsar...and went to a Khalsa school....and we had a Gurdwara within the school...and i think (i am not sure) that small kids used to have nickers as a part of uniform and they went to Gurdwara Sahib before going to school....

but you think you are doing anything bad going to GD with shorts...then wear something else.....but with long shorts i think nothing is bad though....everything i coved up...(?)

Well, you gotta ask yourself. Do you consider man and woman to be equal? If so, then if you can wear shorts to the Gurdwara should women also be allowed to wear shorts or not? rolleyes.gif

Sure, people say "What are you talking about?" "That's insane!". But if our Gurus gave both men and women equal status in society and in practising religion, then why not?

Here's the thing, people say "Oh, if women wear shorts to the Gurdwara, then it creates kaam for men". Well, don't you think its the same for women? :T: If you wear shorts, they will also be distracted to look at you, and if you got a fit body, they would get kaam as well.

So it all depends on the individual, let me kno what you guys think? Bhul chuk maaf karnee!!

Daas,

Thanks peeps.. ^_^

I think daljeet does got tha excellent point.. For example.. personally me.. i can say aye for singhs to wear short while visiting gurdwara, but i would really discourage for women gender to do same, cauz i know guys are lot more pervet than women (maybe).. but in case of guys wearing shorts, i don't think women feel the same way as guy do.. maybe it has to do with punjabi culture and stuff.. rolleyes.gif

Interesting views. and boyy i soooo agree that if men can wear shorts women should be allowed to do so cuz of the equality thing. tongue.gif But *sigh* there's alwaiz the double standard where guys wearing whatever they please is accepted but if a girl so much as wears shirt and long pants she gets stared at or remarks are passed about her . Whatever the case, I believe we should dress appropriately according to the occasion....im sure gurujee duznt wanna see us waltzing into darbaar with our bare legs. And as far as the kaam thing is concerned...i guess if u look upon all guyz/gals as bros/sis the kaam thing shouldn't get to you. :T:

I do agree that there should be equal rite for Sikh man and woman.

We visit gurudwara sahib or sangat to listen the teachings of GURUJEE and to get inspiration & kirpa to follow those. As we know the Five evils in us are very powerful and always on their job so we need continous blessings of gurujee and sangat plus our will power to control them and be firm on gurujee's techings but its not that easy job friends. These five takes our contiuous Test/ Exam in day to day activities n chores.

Gurdwara Sahib is like a School and Sadh Sangat is like a class room. In a class room there are certain rules which every student has to obey including not doing such activity which can break the concentration of fellow students etc. Similary one should not wear any such stuff or do such kind of activity which can disturb concentration of other sangat member and any of five evils get the chance to do his job. E.g. if a gurl wearing jewellery in her foot creating sound comes into sangat will surely disturb cocentration of sangat similary if ones wears skimppy clothes or likewise can cause loss of concentration for some sangat which is not a wise and right thing to do .

So in my opinion all of us should wear appropriate dress even when we are not in the gurudwara sahib jee.

bhul chuk maaf

waheguur jee ka khalsa, waheguru jee kee fateh

    • 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.
