Quote: Is is true that Sikh women used to wear dastar more than they do now but they started wearing only chunni because Sikh women were getting raped?
| The Mughals put a price on Sikh heads because they wanted to exterminate them. As more and more Singhs died and became fewer, the mughals began killing Singhnia and collecting their heads for reward money. They explained the lack of facial hair as being heads of young boys, not women.
Because of this, it became less popular for Singhnia to want to give her head for the faith. And the wearing of dastaar became less frequent. Can you see why wearing dastaar is so potent with faith and love and meaning? Because when you wear dastaar, you are wearing it for all the ones who died before you. In honor of their love for Guru Khalsa Panth.

Patience... PLEASE.  |
It always gets so much worse before it gets better. It's my experience too not once but over and over, again and again. But it's all in the mind. The chaos thing ? I have to deal with it everyday. Laziness and lack of discipline is my major problem.

It is an ugly movement that has driven many non- Sikh Indians out of India.

pretty nasty people. __________________ -Archived_Member

thanks for this beautiful explanation of what we should remember when we tie dastaar each day. __________________ -Archived_Member

He may be cut apart, piece by piece, but he never leaves the field of battle. ||2||2||

Sri Amritsar Ishnan:
Kala Afgana states that the holy water of the sarovar should NOT be referred to as Amrit. We're not debating KA but the statement he made. For that matter anybody could have said it earlier than KA.
Gurbani Quote from Sri Granth: ਉਦਮੁ ਕਰੇ ਭਲਕੇ ਪਰਭਾਤੀ ਇਸਨਾਨੁ ਕਰੇ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਸਰਿ ਨਾਵੈ ॥ Uḏam karė bẖalkė parbẖāṯī isnān karė amriṯ sar nāvai. Upon arising early in the morning, he is to bathe, and cleanse himself in the pool of nectar. Guru Ram Das - view Shabad/Paurhi/Salok
What is your opinion on this ?

What is your opinion on this ? | We must all travel to Amritsar every morning and bathe there.  __________________ Randip Singh Sikh History Website "Let no man be proud because of his caste/race (Jaat).
For the man who has God in his heart, he alone is the true Brahmin.
O stupid fool, be not proud of your caste/race (Jaat), by this pride many sins arise.
Everyone says there are four castes/races (Jaat), but they are all created from the Lords seed (essence).
All men are moulded from the same clay, but the potter has fashioned it into vessels of numerous forms.
By joining the five elements, the form of the body is made, no one can say that the element is less in one and more in another" Pg 1128 SGGS | |
