Nine Guru ji's didnt say we needed them, one did, Its not in the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Ive been told that untill I accept them it will be a stumbling block to my spirituality, But why. I'm told that I cant be a full Sikh till I have them, Why. Could some one please tell me what each one is for and why Guru Gobing Singh ji thought that we needed them and to what purpose they serve to day please.

The reason for the 5 K's is as follows:
we keep our hair because it gives us energy & strength. Hair will only grow so far and then stop - your body requires nutrients to regrow hair should you cut it.
It's hard to understand the 5 K's without an element of humility and desire to surrender- and how to get that is a whole other matter.
I hope this helps. Sat Nam
