Question: – According to the book ‘Guru Keeyaan Saakheeyaan’, Guru Gobind Singh Ji himself tied a ‘Keski’ on Baba Banda Singh Bahadur’s head. It indicates that ‘Keski’ is one of the five ‘Kakaars’ of Sikhism. What do you say?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Answer : – <\/strong>Tying ‘Keski’ does not prove that it is one of the five ‘kakaars’. What, if someone would say that according to ‘Panth Prakaash’ written by Bhaayee Ratan Singh Bhangoo, Guru Ji himself tied the ‘Kalgee’ to Bhaayee Sant Singh, so ‘Kalgee’ is one of the five ‘Kakaars’?<\/p>\n

It is a custom to tie turban on the head of a person, who is appointed to do a job or duty. When a chief is appointed to a ‘Dera’, he is given turbans by different people. Please visit, when a chief is appointed to any Sikh ‘Dera’ or when a new ‘Jathedaar’ is appointed to any ‘Takht Sahib’.<\/p>\n

When any head of the family dies, his elder son gets the turban, during ‘Rasam Pagree’ ceremony in Indian families, because the elder son is supposed to be appointed to do the duties of his dead father.<\/p>\n

Baba Jee was appointed the chief of Sikh army, so it was obvious that he got the turban.<\/p>\n

According to the ‘Sikh Rahat Maryada’, ‘Kes’ is one of the five ‘Kakaars’.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
