Gupt Singh Posted July 5, 2003 Report Share Posted July 5, 2003 in all my time (excluding akj rensavaes and relations) ive seen less than about 10 keski wearing ladies that i can remember. very sad. kaur1699, why dont u wear a keski? they look much nicer on women than a patka.....ive never seen a bibi with a patka before (although ive seen a 70 yr old man with one lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simran24-7 Posted July 5, 2003 Report Share Posted July 5, 2003 i used to wear one like Mr Singh is talking about but loads of people kept mistaking me to be a Muslim because muslim girls have loads of different ways of tying their head-scarf-thingies, and one way is kinda similar to the one you're talkin about - so i changed to a keski with my joora on top of my head. keski/dastaars are cool because people can recognise you as a singhni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gupt Singh Posted July 6, 2003 Report Share Posted July 6, 2003 yeh i dnt understand y so many singhnees shun the keski, afta all guruji said everyone must wear it, he even tied mai bhagos keski while she was doing keertan, and trust me i tink singhnees look WAAAAY more pretty with keski n i aint jus saying that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagroop Singh Posted July 6, 2003 Report Share Posted July 6, 2003 Gurfateh the jatha did a Keertan Programme at the Bristol (UK) Gurdwara a few months ago. this was the first time ever the jatha had been there so as you can imagine everyone was really uplifted by this 'different type' of keertan. the gurdwara's committee members afterwards lavished much praise upon the singhs and singhnia who had travelled all the way down there...begging them that they must come again...but next time, tyhey requested that it should be for a full-length rainsabai. bhai jarnail singh (uk jatha's jathedar), who was as usual absorbed in his naam abyass, was called by a committee member to receive a siropa...he was then asked to say a few words to the gathered sangat. bear in mind that amongst the sangat, the only keski-walah bibian where those who had travelled down with the jatha...there weren't even very many dastaar wearing singhs amongst the native sangat come to think of it. although i don't know bhai sahib very well, its safe to say that he is a man of very few words. he walked up to the stage and quietly accepted the siropa...he then said something which has left a very deep impression upon me. here's what he said - wearing a keski is a form of sewa...we are doing a very important sewa by adorning our dasam duar with a keski - Guru Ji expects no less an honour bestowed upon God's Throne...and that was it... the silence after these words was somehow magical...he then sat back down with what i can only describe as one of the most humble facial expressions i have ever seen. regardless of all the pro and anti keski things i've read, bhai jarnail singh's statement has left a mark so severe upon this manmukh's heart that to imagine Gursikh without a keski is impossible. ps he's not very well at the moment; suffering from dehydration after coming home from abroad. please remember this Gurmukh Piyare in your ardaas.
