Inspiring bit of literature teaching us about the dastaar and why we should keep it. To Guru Jee we offered our Head Because through Akaal Purkh, by the hand, we were lead To become a sacrifice to our Beloved, we said So we can walk this earth alive yet dead We love you Guru Gobind Singh Jee Please, I beg, abide with meReference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/general-discussion/24097-dastar.html Don’t allow me to follow and bow to Society Not even out of politeness or propriety Let us stand tall with our Turban
We don’t care about trends bling or urban Our Dastar is our Crown It reminds us to keep our ego downReference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=24097 It gives us the status of a royal Highness It keeps our kesh from becoming a tangled mess Guru Ji blessed us with our beautiful long tresses Each time the wind blows, He runs His hand through our hair, each single one He protects and caresses Without a turban there is no Kaur or Singh Just as without a crown there is no Queen or King
Our turbans bless us with a status so High
Mixtures of blue, black, orange and white extend beyond into the sky
Wow, people comment, they look so radiant
The appearance of the Sikh is God Himself, so Magnificent
We have been blessed with Guru jee’s beautiful Form
We have something so special; we don’t belong to the norm
Please do upon your head the turban adorn
Give yourself to Guru Jee and as His child be re-born
Be Proud
Let your Dastar shout out loud
Don’t be a follower, lead the crowd
