[QUOTE="Gyani Jarnail Singh, post: 86848, member: 189"] 1. Its actually GURU JIS HUKM to keep the Five Kakaars. Since Guru Ji didnt say Dont cut toe nails/pull out defective teeth etc etc..its OK to cut nails, go to the dentist etc etc. But HE did say..KEEP YOUR HAIR INTACT...so I do. I dont think thats Juvenile.... no as a matter of fact its Maturity. Its not "juvenility" to Love and follow ones GURU...to the LETTER/SPIRIT. 2. Sikhs who were Martyred..were just given ONE CHOICE - CUT your Hair !! or DIE. Best example is Bhai TARU SINGH....whose SCALP was REMOVED since he refused to cut his hair. Its totally FALSE to keep the HAIR out of this aspect of Sikh History. HAIR was and IS..100% Part and parcel. ONLY those Heads that had LONG HAIR INTACT were worth the 80 Rupee PRIZE MONEY !!! Many unscrupulous people cut off the HEADS of WOMEN and GIRLS....to claim the 80 rupee prize....claiming these are heads of YOUNG SIKHS !!! 3.

Keeping Hair is a better bargain ?? dotn you think ?? 4. Your beleif about Guru Gobind Singh Ji is wrong...GURU NANAK JI had long hair..Long flowing beard..and wore a Dastaar..so did ALL the following GURUS. The ARMY began long before Guru Gobind Singh Ji.....its Bhagat KABIR JI who demans SIR DHAR GALI MERI AAO....come to me with head on palm..Gaggan Damama Bajio...WAR CRY of Dharma...the Khalsa war agaisnt tyranny began long long before 1469...and certainly long before 1699...0r 1708....
