The keeping of uncut hair is given a great deal of importance in Sikhism. But what is so special about hair? Historical significance: Well the history of hair goes back to the Bible. The Bible talks of a man called Sampson who obtained supernatural powers through his long hair. His hair was later cut and consequently he lost his powers. It is also a fact that most of the world’s prophets and saints including Jesus, the Sikh Gurus and Hindu prophets kept uncut hair. Meaning: G. A. Gaskell writes, ‘Hair of the head is a symbol of faith, intuition of truth, or the highest qualities of the mind.’ - Dictionary of all Scriptures Sikhs believe God to be a perfect creator. It therefore follows that whatever He creates is perfect. The keeping of uncut hair is therefore, recognition of God’s perfection and the submission of a Sikh to the Will of God. Function: Most Sikhs regard hair as a gift from God. But what does this gift actually do for us? Well the functions of hair can be divided into 5 sub categories. These include an ornamental function, physical function, psychological function, Sikh specific function and a spiritual function. Ornamental function: Nature has decorated a man with a beard and a moustache to differentiate between a male and a female. A good example from the animal kingdom is a lion with its majestic mane. Physical function: Just like the skin, the hair helps to synthesize vitamin D from sunlight. It also helps to supply the piturary gland (located in the head) with phosphorous. Phosphorous is an element which is used in meditation by the aforesaid gland. The hair on our body regulates body temperature and our eye lashes, nostril hairs and ear hairs help to keep out dust particles Psychological function: This is by far, one of the most important functions of hair. People cut their hair to look good for other people, and although everyone wants to look sexy and cool, a Sikh is encouraged to impress God and not bother so much about the opinions of everyone else. Keeping hair therefore encourages us to become less vain and more God orientated. Sikh specific function: Uncut hair is a mark of Sikh identity. The 10th Sikh Guru instructed all his Sikhs to come before him with long hair and weapons. Long hair also represents sacrifice, because there have been many Sikhs like Bhai Taru Singh, who preferred to have their scalp removed instead of their hair cut. Spiritual function: Hair enhances the ability of a human being to experience God. This can be explained by understanding the workings of electromagnets. An electromagnet consists of an iron rod with a coil of wire wrapped around it. The strength of an electromagnet can be increased by increasing the number of coils. Now in a human being, there are nine visible inlets/outlets (2 nostrils, 2 ear holes, 1 mouth, 2 eyes, 2 below the waistline). And the 10th inlet is located in the head and is invisible. It is called the Dasam Dawar. This is where we experience the reality of God and we can consider this to be the iron rod. Hairs are like coils of wire which amplify spiritual energy at the 10th inlet. A greater quantity of head hair will lead to more coils in the (Joora) knot and therefore a higher concentration of spiritual energy. Of course, it is possible to experience God without any head hair like Buddhists. However anything that helps us to experience God more easily should be welcomed. Hair is essentially a spiritual technology that makes it easier to connect with God Conclusion to wearing all the 5 K's: (Kesh (unshorn hair), Kanga (wooden comb), Kachhera (shorts), Kara (Iron bangle) & Kirpaan (sword)) Wearing 5K’s does not automatically make a good Sikh and in addition to this, wearing the 5 K’s without understanding their purpose is silly. The 5 K’s are not meaningless symbols, but instead are items which aid us in living a life revolving around God and submission to His Will.

vaheguru ji ka khalsa vaheguru ji ke fatheh TILANG, FIRST MEHL: As the Word of the Forgiving Lord comes to me, so do I express it, O Lalo. Bringing the marriage party of sin, Babar has invaded from Kaabul, demanding our land as his wedding gift, O Lalo. Modesty and righteousness both have vanished, and falsehood struts around like a leader, O Lalo. The Qazis and the Brahmins have lost their roles, and Satan now conducts the marriage rites, O Lalo. The Muslim women read the Koran, and in their misery, they call upon God, O Lalo. The Hindu women of high social status, and others of lowly status as well, are put into the same category, O Lalo. The wedding songs of murder are sung, O Nanak, and blood is sprinkled instead of saffron, O Lalo. || 1 || Nanak sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord and Master in the city of corpses, and voices this account. The One who created, and attached the mortals to pleasures, sits alone, and watches this. The Lord and Master is True, and True is His justice. He issues His Commands according to His judgement. The body-fabric will be torn apart into shreds, and then India will remember these words. Coming in seventy-eight (1521 A.D.), they will depart in ninety-seven (1540 A.D.), and then another disciple of man will rise up. Nanak speaks the Word of Truth; he proclaims the Truth at this, the right time. || 2 || 3 || 5 || 7th Chayt, ) (Page: 722) vaheguru ji ka khalsa vaheguru ji ke fatheh

That I have no fear when fighting the enemy, That I attain victory with faith and fortitude, That I keep your teachings close to my mind. O'Lord, my desire is that I sing your praises and when the end of this life draws near, may I die fighting, with limitless courage in the battlefield. vahegurooooooooo

Vaheguroooooooooo Nice poem...tooooo yeah last line is REALLY kool vahegurooooooo

Vaheguroooooooooooo The importance of Kaur Have you ever thought why Guru ji, Guru Gobind Singh, gave the Kaur surname to Sikh women? Why did he not accept the status quo and keep the tradition of the woman's surname being determined by her family's name? What was Guru ji trying to achieve by calling the Sikh woman "A Princess" (literal meaning of Kaur)? To try to understand the possible reasons behind Guru ji's decision, we need to look at the situation at the time in different cultures. In Indian society, the brides first and last name was often changed after her marriage. This still happens today. However, this tradition of name changing does not occur just in India. It is a phenomenon which occurs across the whole world today. Why are women's surnames changed? The reason is family linkage. Surnames allow others to identify you and your family. In some cases the surname can tell others much more about you, such as your caste. For women the linkage to family is different in comparison to men. Their identity changes with marriage. They are no longer associated with their parents, but with their Husband's family. Unsurprisingly, the man’s name never changes. Some cultures go as far as considering the woman to be the property of others. This was so for the Hindu Law giver, Manu, who claimed that no woman should ever be independent. Christianity considered woman to be a product of man as Eve had come from "the rib" of Adam. Psychologically, women have accepted these unjust rules. They have resigned to male dominance and allowed themselves to become second class citizens. Guru ji changed all this with the revelation of the Khalsa. He gave women the opportunity to live life free of the chains of a dogmatic society. It was God's Hukam (will). Once initiated into the Khalsa, Sikh women obtain the surname Kaur. The surname Singh (Lion) is given to men, but Kaur (princess) is reserved solely for women. This difference in names is not about inequality. Rather, Guru ji recognises the difference between men and women. As individuals we are all different from each other, but this difference does not imply inequality. Women and men are different but remain equals. Guru ji considered women and men to be unique. He respected the sexes and, therefore, made the distinction in surnames. When you take amrit you are told to consider Guru Gobind Singh as your father and Mata Sahib Kaur as your mother. By joining the Khalsa you abandon all previous chains of linkage. You become the direct descendants of Guru Gobind Singh and Mata Sahib Kaur. You become their daughters. The Khalsa becomes your family. Thus, from the day you are born to the day you die your name remains the same. You do not have to change it due to marriage. Unfortunately, the tradition of using the "Kaur" surname has all but disappeared amongst Sikh women. It is either dropped, in favour of caste surnames, or misused as a middle name. Guru ji never designed it as such. Have we not belittled his concepts? Have we lost so much self-esteem that we must copy the bigoted traditions of others ? Sikh women are today demanding equal rights. Rightly so. However, they fail to realise that they themselves create inequality by not considering themselves princesses. They no longer consider themselves as daughters of the Khalsa. Why should Sikh women feel that they must change their names after marriage ? This is not part of the Sikh tradition. It belongs to others. Leave it to them. It has nothing to do with the Sikhs. Waheguru gave us these names. Real freedom can only be found in Sikhi. Real freedom is the freedom ones feels from within, and not the show of freedom we pretend to have in the outside world. By keeping your unique and beautiful Sikh identity you are maintaining the freedom given to you by Guru ji. Ultimately, only those who keep the "Kaur" surname can truly understand its importance. Others will make excuses about the difficulty of having such a common surname. It makes paper work and identification difficult! Why make such excuses? We do not hear Patels or Smiths complaining. Mere excuses. The importance of "Kaur" is truly inexpressible. It is something very unique in the history of the world. Vaheguroooooooooooooooooo

vahegurooooooooo At the time of Guru ji Gobind Singh Jee, a very good and handsome Sikh used to present himself in Guru Jee's Sangat/company. Guru Gobind Singh Jee was always pleased to see this good Sikh. One day, the handsome Sikh man noticed that he had a white hair in his beard. He did not like of the white hair as he thought it made him look less attractive. Thereforce, before going to see Guru Jee, the Sikh man pulled out the single white hair. However, when he went into the holy congregation/Sangat, Guru Jee turned his back to the Sikh and would not acknowledge him-beacuse the Sikh had gone against Guru Jee's command of keeping all hair intact. The Sikh realised his mistake and sought forgiveness. Hence, we should always remember nd respect the importance of every single hair as Guru Jee instructed us to. vahegurooooooooooo

vahegurooooooooo N30 These videos man There just!!! wicked thanxx.........

vaheguroooooooooo Thanx panji for da post!!!! nice too read about Nihangs!!!

Bhai Taru Singh Jee gave his life but not his hair!! WOULD YOU DO THE SAME?????? HAIR TODAY, GONE TOMORROW......... * Rahni Rahae Soi Sikh Mera Only, he is my sikh who leads his life of a Gursikh as per Guru's commandment. * Oh Sahib Main Os Ka Chera Only, that Sikh is my master and I am his disciple * Rehat Bina Nahin Sikh Kahawai without following Guru's Reht a person cannot be called a sikh. * rom rom mehi busehi muraar On each and every hair, the Lord abides * Gurumuckh rom rom har dhhiaavai The Gurmukh meditates on the Lord with every hair of his body. * Jub lug khhaalusaa rehae niaaraa As long as the Khalsa remains distinct * Thub lug tharj keeo mai saaraa So long I will give him My Golory * Jub eih gehai bipurun kee reeth But if he should adopt the ways of others *mai n kuro ein kee prutheeth I put no trust or faith in him then. From the quotes given above, we can see the extreme importance stressed on Reht. Yet, for the past few years now, it has stated to become common practice for Amritdharee (baptised) Sikh woman/girls to bleach their facial hair-and sometimes their arms too. Some also pluck/remove hair totally. This is extremely saddening and an insult to Guru Sahib Jee. It is a complete contradiction and hypocrisy that on one hand, a sikh woman wears the " Panj Kakaar" (five K's)- professing to be an Amritdharee, but yet she has no respect for her rom (hair). Some girls justify bleaching their hair by saying - " as long as we're not removing our hair it's ok! This is NOT true. Guru ji laid down the Reht Maryade (Sikh Code of Conduct) for ALL Sikhs - men and women. However, imagine if a respected Singh walked into the Gurdwara one day- with his beard gyed blonde or his white hair dyed black. You may laugh, but if this was the case, the Singh would be condemned straight away. He would obviously have to be " pesh" (i.e confess to the congregation/Sangat or panj Piyare and be punished accordingly) and rebaptised by the Panj Piyare (Five Beloved Onces). Yet, many Amritsharee women walk around un-noticed (so they think!!!!) with bleached/pulcked faces and grey hair dyed black; OR they are notiched-but people are too scared to say anything in fear of getting lots of "back chat", i.e." who are you to tell me what i can/not do?!?". In sikhi there is no question of equality, as we are all equal (if there are differences, they are due to society's ignorance and not Sikhi- but that's another subject). Woman demand equality, but when it has been given to them, they only pick out the bits they like. If you have chosen to take Amirt and wear the 5 K's- remember, YOU'VE chosen that path by deciding to give your head to Guru Jee, and with it you should keep your promise of adhering to the Reht Maryada. When a Sikh wears the 5 K's, he/she is representing the image of Guru Sahib Jee and not that of what fashion/society dictates. Hair whether it be on your head/scalp or anywhere else on your body- has the same importance. Please do not be a gypocrite by showing fake outwardly commitment to Guru Jee and society by wearing the 5 K's, yet also bleaching /plucking hair. IT IS AN INSULT TO GURU JEE and an insult to "mahaan" (great) Shaheeds (martyrs - i.e. those who die for their religion) such as Bhai Taru Singh- who chose to die by being scalped alive, rather than have their hair removed/cut and disrespected. There are some women who have hormonal imbalances- causing excessive facial hair. In this case it is perfectly acceptable to get natural desi/homeopathic treatment (as "western"/allopathic medicine is extermely strong and often leads to adverse side effects). There is nothing wrong with getting treatment for an illness, which may lead to other bodily disfunctions- and hormonal imbalances can definitely be treated/cured. Yet, there are many Amritdharee woman who DON'T have such problems (everyone has some facial hair - it's natural), and bleach/pluck their hair to "fit in" with society/fasion. These woman whould not have double stadards and be excused, whereas men would be severly punished. Some people say:" Can you imagine the pain these women feel- having to look different to other women by not bleaching/removing facial hair......?" This comment is fair enough to certain extents, but truthfully it is quite degrading as it implies (maybe unintentionally) that women are the weaker sex - unable to cope with their Sikh identity. Nobody every says: "Can you imagine the pain Sikh MEN may feel, facing socirty with their long uncut beards?" To most non-Sikhs, just having a beard quite stange and un-natural. They think it is uncivilised/savagery (and that's to put it mildly!), that is the reason that most non-Sikhs shave- which is natural/clean to them but un-naturalto us. However, this DOES NOT mean that Sikh men to feel comfortable/confident amongst non-Sikhs it is acceptable to trim/shave their beards. There are some Singhs with extremely long beards, who also have to face ' hardships'/stigmas concerning their appearance-so it isn't just WOMEN. Therefore, Sikh mean face just as much- sometimes more, 'unwanted' attention/hardships' than some sikh women. WhenSikh women take Amrit, they know what is expected of them,- in terms of Reht. I t will be said again- there are not separate sets of rules for each gender, but only one Reht Maryada. There are many things in our 'Panth'/Sikh religion that are disputed, but the fact that Amritsharee Sikhs are not allowed to remove/bleach/dye their hair is accepted by everyone - regardless of Jathebandee. (faction) In terms of the "pain these women feel......." or "personal hell" is their pain worst than that of the many great Shaheeds (martyrs) of our past?........The Sikh women that watched their children hacked to pieces and put around their necks like garlands. Bhai Manni Singh Jee who was cut limb by limb; the brave Sikh that were bolied alive and sawn in half. We need to get things in perspective. To keep onces hair is no kurbaani (sacrifice), it is an honour. vahegurooooooooooo bhul chuk maaf jee
