DAILY on my D2h and FTA Channels I am LAMBASTED to boredom by HAIR ADVERTISERS...hair fall experts, baldness cures, hair regrowth formulas etc etc etc etc..and I have yet to come across even ONE SIKH who was featured on these advertisements...in Fact MAJORITY of such ads are IN CHINESE and the people featured are short haired CHINESE !! Even the INDIAN Channels USE the same Chinese ads and simply DUB them in Hindi/regional languages for the Indian audiences...There may be about 3 BILLION People in the world with HAIR PROBLEMS, skin problems..DANDRUFF problems...and according to Dr Paarvan the Vast MAJORITY of them are all LONG HAIRED SIKHS !! There are various Shampoo ads, Anti dandruff ads..ALL feature SHORT HAIRED persons of NON_SIKH origin..or am I watching the wrong channels from dr paarvaan ??

There is only one reason for a Sikh to grow hair in my humble opinion, and that is Love. It is pointless trying to be logical and scientific about love | | The following members appreciate harry haller Ji for the above message. | |

Well, in my opinion, it is the recognition that Guru Gobind Singh wished us to behave and act like him. He gave us a uniform that epitomised the way he carried himself, and part of that was the hair, so I would guess it is the love for the Guru as teacher. I guess this also clarifies an answer for those that think we do it for God, I do not think we do, I think it is for Guru, and ultimately for ourselves, as Khalsa, we are Guru, and Guru is us. |

It's a good question & rightly answered by some one above that its the 'hukum' of Waheguru so we have to follow it. But for those non enlightened souls questions do come in mind & the same question rose in my mind too some years back. I have been a keen reader of books authored by seasoned Sants strictly following Gurbani & in one of those the reason of not cutting hairs is the following -
a) It's the 'Hukum' of Waheguru & without any quest we are supposed to follow it.
b) Hairs on body have a scientific reason as well. It's a lengthy topic & anyone in medical Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=32165
field should know the importance of hairs on body. And Guru Granth Sahib is stands true
in each & every aspect of science unlike other books.
c) As far as nails are concerned scientifically grown nails are useless & in turn an invitation Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=32165
to various diseases.
Even if we look at the Hindu Gods & Goddess, they always had grown hairs. Saying this am not comparing any religion but just bringing into notice that there is an importance of hairs on the body & for one reason or the other it's beneficial for humans.

Women, especially, are taught to detest the way we are naturally. I think one of the gifts of Guru ji is the knowledge and acceptance of our naturalness.
BTW, I have always loved beards and now I am beginning to grow a beard. Still a bit straggly, but it's a start. And I am not wearing lipstick. My lips are just a bit chapped. | | The following members appreciate Inderjeet Kaur Ji for the above message. | |

Inderjeetji,
I do not think you would be stretching the truth, although if SPji were around he may accuse you of stretching the beard hairs!

The Pir replied..Give Me your Kangha with bits of hair inside it....THAT GIFT is invaluable for me..and the descendants of Pir still have that wooden Kangha and Guru jis hair in it. That is LOVE.
The PIR fought on Guru Jis side against the MUGHALS and HINDU Rajas . | | The following members appreciate Gyani Jarnail Singh Ji for the above message. | |
