Guest guest Posted January 11, 2003 Report Share Posted January 11, 2003 Suzanne, I don't believe there is a way to amply explain how to tie a turban online. Maybe there is a website with an mpeg video somewhere that I haven't seen. It's very much a hands-on thing. I will say that it takes a patience, and a subtlety that a good Sadhana practice will give you. As a matter of fact, I will often gauge my Sadhana, afterward, by how well it goes onto my head and how well my turban feels. Also, after you adjusted your self through your practice, the bones of the skull realign (check out Cranial-sacral therapy). A good point about the turban is that it holds that realignment for a number of hours. Additionally, unless you are a into martyrdom, you really want to have a strong aura (another benefit of Sadhana) to go walking down the street in a turban, a dress and a beard. People will look and if you're feeling "off", things may get a bit uneasy for you. Sometimes it's cute what people say and think and sometimes it's not. My stock didn't fair so well when the turban went from being associated with Al-ladin to Bin-ladin. Check out Martha Stewart and Patch Adams in turbans at http://www.sahej.com/turbans.html Regarding the Rishi Knot. Tying your hair in a knot on the top of your head is, more or less, a Rishi knot. It channels the energy of the hair and body to the Sun or Moon center on your head. Men and women tie theirs in slightly different places. There is a fat article on the Rishi Knot at http://www.sikhnet.com/Sikhnet/youth.nsf/c4c37733ae589b948725657e000dc8f5/9e9c27\ 1da30f61978725675f000398a8!OpenDocument Sat Nam, Dharam Suzanne Nocella wrote: > Sat Nam everyone , > > What are rishi knots and how do you make them ?
