Sorry if this question had been asked but:

when taking a shower, where should the kanga be placed, if you are washing your hair?

There is no prescribed place.....but if you want to see the Sikh REhit Maryada I suggest you look at:

Sikh Reht Maryada, The Definition of Sikh, Sikh Conduct & Conventions, Sikh Religion Living, India

As you will see it differs significantly from the initial post, which is taken from and AKJ site I think.

Re: Taking Amrit and After taking Amrit >> Invite Your Friends

[quote=kds1980;50087]dear sikh78910

the above article is for people who want to follow brahminified sikhi and not real sikhi.let me mention some points of brahaminical sikhi
1]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Halal - Eating of any meat is not allowed. (The word Halal is used because this was the only meat available in Guru Gobind Singh jee’s time so any meat eaten was classed as halal. Even eating Chatka meat is a cardinal sin). One will not make any spiritual progress by eating meat. One virtue a bhagat (devotee) has is compassion. How can one have compassion from killing animals and eating their carcass bodies?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
there are lot of evidence that only halal meat was banned by guru gobind
singh other type of meat was allowed.calling all type of eating meat cardinal sin is insult to all sikhs who kept rehat and lived an honest and truthful life recommended by our guru's.but ate meat.here the question is not whether
eating meat is good or bad but the question what guru gobind singh ji actually said.no one is allowed to enforce his mat calling gurmat.
----------------------------------------------------------------------point no.2
------------------------------------------------------------------------
forcing keski on women

this is another propaganda by akj that women should also wear keski.
if you study Sikh history there is no evidence that all Sikh women wore keski.99% amritdhari women in india don't wear keski.
quote]

um no its not, Sikh women during and after guru gobind singh's time did wear dastaars!

well come to think of it i dont really have proof. But Guru Gobind Singh did not differentiate between men and women when he ordered them to wear dastaars ,etc. I think most people wud ave listened and followed.

Re: Taking Amrit and After taking Amrit >> Invite Your Friends

2 years ago i raised this topic with my grandmother and surprisingly she was against dastaar for women.she said that her ancestors told her that guru gobind singh ji ordered dastar for men only so its inappropriate for Sikh women to wear dastar.please don't get me wrong but my family was highly religious and were even associated with sewapanthi's but this was their just view

That makes no sense since Sikhism is for both men and women, nowwhere in a rehit nama will u see this distinction. LOL 3 years ago I also thought it was inappropriate but there is no logic in that, if u see wut i mean.

edit: BTW rehitnamas were written by people who were very close to Guru Gobind Singh.
