Big Apple Gurdwara Hosts Baisakhi Women Tying Turban Workshop
04/04/2008
This innovative event celebrating the majestic nature of the turban is sponsored by the Guru Gobind Singh Study Circle of Richmond Hill New York. On Saturday April 15th, hosted by the management and Sadh Sangat of Makhan Shah Labana Gurdwara, the young Sikh men and women will assemble for this festive and colorful Baisakhi event. In Queens, New York at 113-10 101 Ave (zip code 11419) from 12 noon to 4 pm. on Saturday April 12th.
All girls and youth and women are welcome.
Ever since Tenth Master, Guru Gobind Singh Sahib Ji gave the Bana of Turban to his beloved Sikhs it is a known fact that there is no gender difference in Khalsa.
Naturally in celebration of Baisakhi and the birthday of the Khalsa, it is fitting that we celebrate the crowning of the Khalsas with the Turban. For centuries Khalsa women have not had the benefit of being included in wearing a turban. Yet the technology of Rishi knot of the hair - combing the hair attennae and channeling the charge back through the tenth gate and covering the hairs with cotton cloth to protect the hair to keep the 27 bones of the skull in alignment for clear and elevated thinking and actions - is not always understood as a technology of elevated awareness and consiousness. Siri Singh Sahib Bhai Sahib HarBhajan Singh Khalsa Yogi Ji had taught this to his western followers, many of them turban wearing women.
Now for the first time the Sardarni's of all ages are invited to join the annual Youth Turban tying competition at Mahkan Shah Labana Gurdwara. Rather than compete, the girls and women will join together in a turban tying workshop with a sharing of styles and techniques. Turban fabric will be provided and the girls can come and learn and have a turban tied on their head.
Singhanees or Sikh girls and Youth and women are invited to a special featured workshop of tying a Womans Turban.
There are many styles and techniques that will be featured but the bottom line is that the women will be crowned with the elevating turban and can be known as Khalsa in her everyday appearance.
