Gupt Singh Posted June 21, 2003 Report Share Posted June 21, 2003 on this note, the head is meant to be covered all hte time for a sikh. not just reading bani etc. this ritual has crept in because sikhs dont keep their hair covered always, so nowadays only cover in gurdwara, etc. im sure u know the rehitnamas so i cant be bothered to post them ------------------------------------------------------------------- Moderator note: Try to go with topic. Don't just assume that everyone is here baptized or with hair. This forum is universal, and everyone is welcome to join if they have desire to learn about Sikhism. We want to inspire them so they can come back to Sikhism and live with it. So, for future try to go with the topic and refrain yourself from giving advices without knowing the real situations 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r k Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 Please do cover your head (hat will do) 8) jee i don't think sikhs are supposed to wear hats...it was written in a hukamnama and i believe somewhere in bani it also says bad stuff about wearing hats.. i know for sure it was said in a hukamnama though that we're supposed to follow.. if anyone caers to know ill look for it and find it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaapaaraa Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 if i were to print out the translation would i have to remove my shoes and cover my head while i am learning the translation??? since i am printing out words from the Granth Sahib? Im really impressed by your devotion, most ppl wouldn't even think about it when printing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But once again he is not baptised though he is learning and top of that he got his hair cut. I dont see much big of deal between wearing a hat or wearing bandana??? Hat and Bandana both cover ur head for sign of respect. dont they? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simran24-7 Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 i might b confused here.....but when any of the Guru Jis did paat they covered their head - so shouldn't we do that too?? + rehat maryada says to cover your head, when doing path etc :? bhul chukh maaf 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
