Dear Isha Ji,

wjkk,wjkf.

I appreciate your floating questions about Kangha and Kachhera. S. Bhagat Singh jI has answered your first question on women not wearng dastrar and keeping Kangha in our Keshas tying a thread around bun parallel to the teeth of Kangha.

For the Kachera, the boxer's shorts are not kachhera. You see the strings are necessary for it to be called as Kachhera, because the real purpose of Kachiera is to be symbol strong character. The boxer's short while worn can be revealing and when the kachhera is designed with breaches ( special design which narrow down the lower portion and is more protective of our private parts when worn even without a pyjama or pants. The discipline of 5 Ks is universal and applicable at all places, countries and times.

Thanks Bhagat Singh ji for addressing my kangha curiosity, Gyani ji and Tejinder Singh ji for explaining to me the importance of kacchera in protecting modesty, and Ambarsaria ji and spnadmin ji for the reality checks!!!

I know they seem like silly questions, I don't know why I'm so curious about the nit-picky details. A method of procrastination perhaps.

Greetings,

I have some random questions:

1. Where does an amritdhari woman who doesn't wear a dastaar keep her kangha?

2. Do regular boxer shorts count as kacchera? Must they have a draw-string? What is the purpose and history of kacchera?

3. What is the sangat's view of showering in kacchera and taking one leg out of wet kacchera and putting it into dry kacchera so as to always be wearing them? How on earth is this supposed to work for women... like... all of the time... you know...?

Random questions which have been floating around in my head for a while.

Ishna

I appreciate and thank your floating questions about Kangha and Kachhera.

The kesas kra,kacchera.kangha kirpan.

The bun, left and right. dry and wet, all these are equivalent to JANEO jnyau
Put a good dress in whatever way it is simply not going to solve the problem of our character and habits.

But in all this we forget the core point of NAAM.Are we becoming a better person and going near to almighty. Are we becoming a person with less vices to be useful to ourselves and society as a whole.

what is happening is that we will always keep concentrating on this left and right, wet and dry sometime even not possible to handle.

It is a topic which need to be discussed by the people in dharm parchar removing all the confusions, so that many people because of this hesitate to fully involved in the sikhism

.these things are only part of sikhism and if need arises can be discussed by the dharm parchar people according to the needs. This is my personal view point.

Giving a uniform of police man to anon deserving person brings more problem than solution.

Dress as well as required criteria both are important.

we are so strict that we prefer to move with full hair fixer on the rainy days which as per my experience is almost impossible to handle without a personal vehicle.

Kirpan size in planes is also one topic.

the discussion is great.I would request for more advise on above

My point exactly. I wonder if following any of these rules has anything at all to do with God. Any rules that are followed must have a strong symbolic and logical basis otherwise they are just empty and meaningless.

It is easy to dress a certain way but constantly trying to better oneself and establish a stronger relationship with the truth are much more important.
