mloco Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 a bunch of reasons I think First and in my opinion, the most important - it is the Gurus hukam that we shouldnt cut our hair. - shows submission to will of God - is a distinct form - you can always pick out a Sikh in a crowd, which also means we can never deny Maharaji the way Peter did Jesus. -at a high avastha every single hair on your body vibrates with Waheguru. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically when you meditate there is a stage where each rom(hair) of your body becomes tongue and cries out in Vahiguroo's name. Such state is described in gurbani- Gurmukh rom rom har dhaievaeye || - Keeping unshorn hair/kesh is sign of royality, sovereign and warriorness - All guru's have kept theier kesh not only that all the prophets including- Jesus sahib, Mohmaamad sahib, Krishan , Ram Chandar Maharaj, Mahatama Buddha all kept their kesh shows it was not just mere fashion to have hair unshorn/uncut has spiritual significance to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAadmin Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 why can't we cut our hair??.. because we suppose to keep god's gift to us..body is a temple given to us by vahiguroo...we are allowed to decorate it but not allowed alter it in any form or shape. It's signifies naturalism. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
