Re: Wearing a capwearing puggh and beard and drinking....claim i am sikh...clean shaven, wearing hat and drinking...claim i am sikhTo me BOTH are HUMAN FAILURES...nothing to do with Gurmatt/Sikhi... There are lots of "religious relics" at various Gurdwaras...no irrefutable proof/truth..just a type of "rural Legend" ( similar to Urban Legends !!)The ONLY IRREFUTABLE TRUTH VERIFIER is the GURBANI of SGGS...and the only word that does occur in Gurbani of SGGS is SABAT SOORAT DASTAAR SIRAH...no TOPI/helmet/cap/hat/ is mentioned anywhere.No Gurbani panktee RECCOMMENDS/discourages wearing of Topi explicitly just as no panktee says sikhs must or must not eat meat...........BUT LOTS of REHITNAMAHS written by Sikhs close to Gurus have EXPLICITLY BANNED CAPS/hats/topis...they must have some "value"...and couldnt be going agaisnt explicit instructions by the Gurus that wearing Hats/topis is OK ?? OUR GURUS NEVER did what their SIKHS couldnt do...Avar updesseh aap na karreh is TABBOO in Gurmatt..what the GURU can do..the SIKH can do....so far in Sikh history there is no record either oral or written that any Gursikh of the Guru wore a hat- not mentioned by Bhai Gurdass ji as well.Sikhi/Gurmatt is a Game of LOVE...NOT DICTATES. There is NO NEED to LOOK/JUSTIFY ones actions by finding quotes from Gurbani/sggs....There is no Black and White answer..and EVEN IF there was..say a quote that says..DONT DO THIS...there would still be soem who would do the opposite and justify it..oh I think that was written for the 15th century..now time has changed..or something like that...Like when Guur jis is talking about the Sabatsoorat dastaar sirah..people say that is about a Muslim...when Gur ji is talking about the futility of arguing about meat eating/vegetarians..people say thats about a Pandit...so the REALITY is THERE IS NOTHING IN SGGS "ABOUT A SIKH" - specifically speaking from a Legal point of view...NO Panktee is specifically addressed to 'SIKHS" !! So ?? what do we say about that ?? BUT then again the ENTIRE SGGS is BY SIKHS .... FOR SIKHS !! Its up to YOU to take your direction from there ...
