[QUOTE="Gyani Jarnail Singh, post: 126216, member: 189"] Why did Guru Gobind Singh Ji name the Place where Vasakhi 1699 brought us the Gift of the 5 Kakaars..KESH-GARRH. Kesh is the Hair and GARRH means FORT. This FORT of the 5 kakaars is necessary to fight....a "Fort" also means that there is a disciplined (Rehitwaan) army of Saint Soldiers inside...SGGS teaches us how to FIGHT the Five that live and thrive inside us...kaam krodh lobh moh and hankaar. Gurbani declares that in order to store "water" its necessary to have a KUMBH..a vessel..without WATER..of what use is a KUMBH ?? Gurbani also states conditions necessary for receiving Amrit (Grace of Creator) and to do that we have to have a CLEAN VESSEL.. 2. Factual existence of the KeshGarh Takhat is testimony to the vital importance of hair as originally bestowed on us by the Creator...without HAIR..even the other FOUR Kakaars are absolutley USELESS. There is no Kirpan Garh, karra garh or kangha garh !! ONLY Kesh garrh. 3. The 5 Kakars are a MEANS TO AN END...a rehit followed in order to ADVANCE along a certian path...The "rituals" that Kabir Ji and also GURU Nanak ji described in the SGGS were the "END"..the practiotioners asserted that Having Matted Hair is guarantee of whatever they wanted..others PULLED OUT ALL HAIR BY THE ROOTS and RUBBED ASHES...others walked NAKED all their life, rubbing ashes and not washing at all, others had the even more disgusting ritual of...passing motion and then covering it with a cloth that coverd their face over the WASTE MATTER, stirred with a stick and INHALING the ODOURS ( THAT was meant to reach the CREATOR !!) Yogis pierced their ears and left home...sidhs fasted and did penace in the himalyas and forests, ate roots to achieve this assimilation with the Creator...ALL THESE were preached as THE END...guarantee of meeting the creator... 4. The 5 kakaars DONT GUARANTEE ANYTHING !! Juts having the 5 kaaars is no gaurantee of anything.....thats the difference. The kaars are a PATH...and in order to be on a JOURNEY...essential matter to have on hand...if a person doesnt want to WALK the Path but rely on the 5 kaakars to send him there..he/she is fooling only him/herself. Many do make this HUGE MISTAKE..and treat others as LESSER than them !! HOLIER than THOU attitude... another fools paradise...The 5 kakars are just the BEGINNING..a firts step..and the long Journey comes AFTER.... [/QUOTE]
