Women and Turbans

In the below video Shanti Kaur answers the question about why she wears a turban as a Sikh Woman, since in recent times most Sikh women do not wear it. She also speaks about how the women in Khalsa Panth stopped wearing the turban in the time after Guru Gobind Singh ji’s death.

    Thanks for yet another great Shanti Kaur video! Her words are golden.

    With all due respect, can we use another way to express Guru Sahibaan leaving the human body?  In Punjabi, as you know, we say “Joti Jot Samaae”.  Maybe when “their light absorbed into Waheguru’s light”?  We should start using Sikhi based terms in English.  I’ve also started using the word “Enlightener” for a translation of Guru.

    Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa,
      Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh,
                                       Her words are really golden there is no any doubt,but as she say in her  video that its better for a  Sikh if he married to a turben wearing sikh girl!
                  Now look! I am  an amritdhari sikh man and turben wearing girl is for away me till now I am unable to find any amirtdhari girl for myself.Now this is the reality that there are no girls for amritdhari sikh man so why I am 31 years old still looking for a amritdhari woman.

    Shanti Kaur ji’s words echo my feelings. 

    I am an Amritdhari  Sikh with a keen desire to marry only the one who wears and understands her turban. I’m 33 yrs old and live in Chandigarh, India. (By profession, I’ve been a software engineer since 1.3 yrs).
    Unfortunately, today, not many of our own are also in love with our religion, but that’s maybe as God wishes. I just wish, that the woman/girl I find, be more in love with Sikhism, than I am.

    Since, I don’t find anything on matrimonial sites, I’m resorting to putting some directed mails/comments like this.
    (Just so that my tiny effort bit is completed, though I believe God will do everything).   

    Regards
