So blessed to have someone who can explain so beautifully, Guru Ki Bani in English. It’s straight as it is, not in riddles. Because of your appearance many Sikhs will listen to your teaching, because they recognise you as their own, you explain with such ease and clarify as not to be misunderstood, just love it. Just discovered your videos few days ago, very grateful for you sharing knowledge and experience’s. I’ve been saying to my husband for a while now that we need to talk about God and understanding of Gurbani, as to learn from each other. Just loved the video on marriage with you wife, thank you both so much. Life gives many hurdles we have to cross and it’s wonderful when we mange to overcome them. I too feel we are all on our own journey, criss crossing each other’s lives just experiencing life ❤️ 🙏
i commented so negative on your 2 videos, forgive me bhai ji. You are so beautiful from inside, i can feel the vibes. I am privileged to watch your videos. every day i spend atleast one hour to watch the wisdom. Forgiveness Waheguru..
In the book named "The Autobiography of a Yogi", it's written that if our body is the tree, hair are the roots of it. They attract and absorb all the positive energy from the surroundings. Imagine the body upside down, with your hair swaying freely downwards, that's how our body looks like a tree, with hair as roots.
@@xm3405 you don't even know what he is talking about. And you are making your own stupid assumptions from the name of the book.. and sikhi is not against yoga 'meditation on the name of god'
xm3 My brother. The hatred and bigotry you carry in your heart is against the teachings of every guru. Do you even know what the word yoga means? Yoga means union. Becoming one with all - the universe and its source.
These words aren't for a particular group of people or a two. This is for the world. For the world which starts with a group and a group which starts with a person, with you. You itself are a beginning. MYSTERY BLESS✨❤️
This man is blessed with such enlightenment and words when he speaks. I am eternally greatful for all he speaks. I am on my journey and I feel the way he does. So many judge, but I feel in my heart what’s right. Isn’t that for each person to do? The guru will guide us , each level and step in my journey so beautiful I want to continue to enjoy it not the perfection in it. Sat nam

@@harmansuperstar2789 We grow hair because we sikhs follow every word of our guru. What Kabir ji is saying in this verse is exactly what Bhai sahib is saying in this video. You are a sikh if you follow wisdom the gurus. (Not just by having long hair). And our gurus wisdom includes having long hair.
Because of you only I am "alive" today...Many thanks sir for explaining such a beautiful Gurbani with great examples which make it more beautiful..!!! Sat shree akal...And thanks again... # aapji nu peri paunna 🙏
Understand other religions require you to have a shaved hut, cut the hair and keep hair - who's right and that's if there is a right/wrong ? Also keeping untrimmed hair brings mores issues esp. harbouring harmful bacterial growth, spread of germs, hygiene issues, viruses such as Colds Flues and recently Covid but others too. Untrimmed hair gets in the way of certain jobs, work and safety too. There is no benefit for keeping uncut long facial hair other then because some prescribed it for spiritual beliefs.
@@techknow9237 That’s why you regularly wash your hair, uncut hair can be managed when it comes to certain jobs and safely, like wearing a patka. Uncut hair has been a part of human history since humans exist. There is no spiritual belief, there is religious belief but no spiritual belief, there is only spiritual experience, and if you had spiritual experience you’d know that uncut hair has a positive "aura" idk why it’s like that but I’ve experienced it like many other people (many of them not Sikhs btw)
@@techknow9237 if there would have been issues with long hairs, nature wouldn't have given it to us in first place and maintaining it appears tougher becos we have easier way i. e haircut!!!
@@techknow9237 ask sadhus on mountains.... They will tell you why don't they cut it even though they have facility to get a haircut... It's related to energy.. That's all..
@@Neetphysicsbymatharusir We are very capable of grooming ourselves. If by your logic we should not cur our nails, eye lashes, hair nose, ear hair , eyebrows - seriously not only will we look horrible but also health and hygiene issues will occur.
For the last few hours I was searching for a video giving a sensible explanation on Sikhs unshorn hairs, and here it is. I found it. God bless you. Waheguru ji ka khalsa, waheguru ji ki Fateh.
Hair on our body is the design of nature or God. Cutting of hair is actually a way of damaging your body. And the regrowing of hair is just a healing process of your body. Every hair on the body stops growing after achieving its desired length. Its just that the hair on our head is longer than the rest of the body. So people who are cutting their hair regularly are actually growing their hair continuously for whole life. And yes the speed of a growing hair is six inches in a year. So if you have been cutting your hair for thirty years, means, that you have grown your hair 180 inches long i.e. around 15 feet. Our Gurus did not want sikhs to grow hair continuously for whole life. But to keep it as the nature desires.
@@rsseehra72 this is just your explanation. This man has great wisdom no doubt, but these matters have no real answer. Gurbani says nothing about keeping kesh, Guru Gobind Singh created the Khalsa and required "Khalsa" yo keep kesh. There is no compulsory requirement as un initiated Sikh to keep kesh. By the way, you do realise that a "nai"..barber (Sen) has his Bani included in Guru Granth Sahib.
@@indrajeet Nai was his caste. When u attain peak of spirituality, you ultimately stop cutting your hair, this is what he is explaining. So stop making lame excuses to cut hair. This is the reason hair has been made a kakkar
I absolutely loved the last part where he said, some people feel if they outwardly make themselves look, and seem more “religious”, they feel they have gained some moral ground on which to stand, lecture and wave their fingers in other peoples faces, to make themselves look better. Religion and God are a very sensitive topic for many, something that people can identify with by the masses. It’s common ground which brings people together, for which they are sometimes willing to die for. Unfortunately, many power hungry or ego filled people will use religion as a weapon for power and dominance knowing the masses will be reluctant to question them or their actions, if the convince people they are closer to God, as satpal said, because they feel and have others convinced they have checked things off their list which they think makes they morally more high and mighty, to make others feel inferior. Hit the nail on the head. I’ve seen so much of this in my life in all religions.
It’s all about what kind of person you are inside, irrespective of whether you keep or cut your hair. If you live by god’s will, treat people with respect, remember god daily, do Simran, all this will go further

@@Neetphysicsbymatharusir because nails do not stop growing, like hair. You can see pictures of longest nails on the net. Practically its not possible to keep long nails. Their rate of growing is very less than the hair. They act as hinderance in your daily routine. Cross sectional area of all the nails combined, is almost equal to half eyebrow.
@Ostracized Cynic got it...but I heard ,unshorn hairs connect you to almighty when you get into meditation which means a person with hair has better connect thon with nature than a person with no hairs..have you felt it ?
@@rsseehra72 what about medical condition any surgery requires cutting or removing of hair . Even giving birth requires that does anyone stops doctors from removing hair . No because everyone needs to live everyone needs that baby to be born. So keeping hair was 1000 years ago when there was no medical no surgery but in these times we have to change according to time. Like we want our kids to study in good schools go to best universities in older times no education was there. So everyone should evaluate according to time . What if guru Nanak Dev ji didn’t think about some changes we should have not got his teachings . He got some changes travelled got englightened according to the era in which Nanak was born. Nowadays ppl are confuse they keep following old things and live in 21 century forcing their kids to do the same. That’s why depression anxiety stress hatred is so much in today’s generation.
Waheguru ji. This is bliss. Exactly it's all the thinking which is polluted. This society teaches us that keeping hair is ugly. Today when seeing a Gursikh girl keeping beard I question myself do I have the courage and faith to do the same. And the answer comes a straight no. Because I was and is always taught to see and now believe that girls are pretty in a certain way. And not only an external look. But the way we think,view and perceive life. The way we think life is to be lived and what aim is to be achieved. It's all what the society filled with egoistic ppl teaches us. Trying to make us the same. There is a fear which comes to stand up against the fixed norm of a living standard made for us today ,because I was made to accept,it my mind was filled with all this mess. When it was completely raw. And now when listening to the right direction my minds flickers because the proper base to adopt sikhi and gurmat is yet to be made. Listening sikhi and then adopting it are two different stages. As guru Nanak ji says suniye and maniye. We live in a society which controls our life choices. I question it alot to my parents, till when are we going to follow this way. When will we embrace our guru's teachings. Don't you fear that life is passing. Time and our chance to win this life and many beyond shall be lost and then only regret shall remain. Kabir ji says.( LOOTNA HAI THO LOOT LO, NAAM HAI LOOT. FIR PACHE PACHTAGA PRAN JAEGE CHOOT.) It's not about wheater to keep hair or be a amritdhari or not. Sikhi is adopting the wisdom. The mentality first and foremost. Satpal singh ji said it so right. That today majority of amritdhari's are judgemental. They think by adopting an outer look of a displined Sikh. They are completely a true Sikh. Making the non amritdhari's feel inferior. This exists alot in our community today. I pray to the lord that may I always learn and embrace sikhi with the right intentions ( bhavna) because adopting it in ego. Is worse than not learning it.
I disagree with this..He says keeping your hair is living in hukum… so you’re accepting how you were meant to be. Basically accept everything that’s come naturally to your body. Accept what has come to you naturally. We are born naked…that’s our natural form. We should just remain naked based on this argument. We aren’t born with a dastar, so why cover our heads based on this argument. Just let our hair be. Why cover it? He citied past spiritual masters had hair…(look up Vlad III, Fidel Castro, Leopold II of Belgium, Stalin, Hitler)…all had beards or moustache. The Dalia Lama has no hair at all. Cant use hair as a measure of spiritual validity even the ones he did cite…none of them covered their hair. Our nails will grow very very long if we leave them alone…why do we cut them, if we are saying we are meant to accept our natural form. Why do we cut the grass in our gardens? Why do we remove weeds? This is nature as intended so why not leave it like it is. By this suggestion it naturally leads to a conclusion that people who cut their hair cant be spiritual or connected to the divine…. These are physical things, they don’t matter. Its our actions & intentions that define us, not our appearances.

Very good talk by Bhai Ji, once again When people ask me about the different aspects of Sikhi practice and lifestyle, I explain it like this: Sikhi is essentially about the Absolute, Changeless and Eternal Truth - which in my understanding has everything to do with unconditional, boundless and all-encompassing Love. The purpose of Sikhi Teachings - with all of the true and original Scriptures, Kirtan, Saroop, Rehat and other elements - is absolutely and with no exception to point anyone who wish to know the Truth in the direction of just that. As a whole, Sikhi Teachings is like an extraordinarily beautiful treasure chest, where each and every part is like a tool or a signpost with the potential to help us See what existence is all about, to see Who or What we truly are. Each element is merely an offering to guide us Home, but they are not the only valid or true ones as such. In the respect, growing hair is one suggestion from our Guru's on how to constantly remind ourselves of Truth and our own True identity. It may serve as that for some people, but for others there may be other practices that prove more useful as reminders and doorways to Guru, to absolute Reality, to God. This journey is essentially about connecting with the Unspeakable, not the specifics of how we do it.
Interesting how we have preachers from the same religion with different teachings/viewpoints. Jagpal Singh of Basics of Sikhi has clearly mentioned many a times in his videos that keeping kesh is mendatory as it is the ‘aagya’ of guru and if you don’t live a gursikh life you will be punished after you die. He has also said that you just cannot question the guru, you just got to do what he ordered. This channel seems to be a toned down and less fundamental version of Basics of Sikhi. Few points I would like to make: An average Sikh is a ‘sadhu’ without ‘saadhna’. The whole system is upside down. We create sadhus first and then expect them to do saadhna. Ideally, it should be the other way around. One does ‘saadhna’, ‘tap’, meditate, goes inwards, connects with that ‘oneness’ and in the process gets rid off his/her ego. And once the ego is gone, how one looks, complements from others, importance and attention from others, all these things become insignificant. The question of cutting or not cutting hair, tying daarhi etc… becomes irrelevant. The sikh community is in a sad state, we are giving our children sadhu’s roop on a plate. We forcefully tell them not to cut their hair, we threaten them that if they did, the ‘babbaji’ is gonna be angry and you will have to pay for it when you die; or blackmail them with the qurbaniya stories of gurus. The child has done no tap/saadhna/meditation whatsoever, he has no realisation of the god other than the baba ji sitting somewhere in the skies keeping a watch on him if he cuts his hair, his ego hasn’t vanished yet and then these kind of questions arises in his mind. I personally feel that the 10th guru missed the trick by making kesh mandatory, anything we do as a mandatory act or a rule has no significance whatsoever and sooner or later it loses its value. May be it worked 300 years ago, but it has no significance in todays time. In one of your videos you mentioned that a person wants to cut his hair because he wants to look good and beautiful, here you mentioned at @2:38 that you feel beautiful with the uncut hair and beard, and how you decorate yourself with turban to express your inner joy. Don’t you see that there is a desire to look good in you and the person who cuts his hair? Fundamentally, both are focusing on physical appearance or sticking to the body. The ego is there, but it just has different forms. The explanation that sikhs don’t cut hair because one shouldn’t focus on physical appearance as it serves the ego doesn’t sound quite right and is actually hypocritical when you consider that the 10th guru clearly instructed and made it mandatory for sikhs to wear a turban so that they ‘look in a certain way’. He gave his followers a ‘physical identity’. It’s a harsh truth - ‘look’ has a very important place in Sikhism; one needs an unbiased mind, free from the baggage of ‘qurbaniyan’, to see that. And when there is a physical identity, there is ego. Sikhs often say that their turban is their pride, pride is nothing but food for ego. The 10th guru made it mandatory to wear a turban, didn’t he focus on physical appearance or ‘the body’ or how he wants his believers to look in a certain way? Isn’t that contrary to the whole concept of how I look should not matter? Cutting hair to look good or to gain complements and wearing a turban as a uniform, both are fundamentally same, as in both cases, one is focussing on the physical appearance. Looking good is not always the reason why some sikhs cut their hair. I know many sikhs who just can’t understand the concept of wrapping their head with such a huge piece of cloth all day long. I live in the scorching heat of Rajasthan, when I remove my turban after having it on for 12-14 hours in 45 C of heat, my hair is drenched in sweat. How is that even intelligent? Wrapping your head in a 5-meter-long and half a meter-wide cloth for all day has no practical significance. Ultimately, it is all about the ego, whether somebody cuts his hair or not is insignificant.

@@tanuj886 You are talking of a mortal sikh perspective not that of a khalsa. An immortal being created for the protection of dharma itself. Both are correct.
Brother, if you don't think Sikhi is practical, if you think keeping kesh is not necessary, it's completely your choice. I appreciate you discussing your views here. You know, once Bahadur Shah asked Guru Gobind Singh Ji, "Which religion is better, Islam or Sikhi?" Gurupita replied... "For you, yours better. For me, mine is better." And btw, I live in Rajasthan too. And believe me, turban really helps me in all situations. Though I haven't made my turban permanent (Hindu family, personal issues), slowly I will wear a turban for the rest of my life. Please forgive me if I hurt your feelings.

Brother I love your work!! A few points your forgot to touch please!! The indepth connection of the hair to the nervous system? The indepth height of meditation with this extension of our nervous system through our hair! There is so much more than just being humble by keeping the hair! These life strands are nerves! Connected to our nervous system!! Like an antenna!! We receive and transcend through these nerves as we gain the universal download. It obviously cannot be described! It would be great if you can go indepth about this specific topic. Maharaja Ranjit Singh, is said to have very long nose hair coming out of there nose, & they were a Maharaja! Why is this? In deep sense of deliberation these nerves assist us Others have said, if you felt pain cutting your hair would you cut your hair? Like cutting a limb. You wouldn't cut your limb? Even if it was fashion, Because u feel pain and you will loose. Same way when you cut you hair you are cutting veins of your nervous system. All for the sake of fashion! Not to judge as I grew up cutting my hair unfortunately! Yet when one is connected to oneness. Ek Onkar. Then it is quite vital that we keep our hair and not cut it to futher enhance our connection to Ek Onkar 🙏🏼
I'm always stumped about the not cutting of hair, I think it's easier for men to keep beard and long hair, where as for girls it becomes difficult with facial hair.
Thank you for this. I have been chastised because I chose to cut my hair. In a moment, I was seen as 'not Sikh enough ' and 'someone who stopped following Sikhi'. This judgement invariably came from Amritdharis
Bhaji is right Keeping or Cutting the Hair is only important on an intellectual level. On an ultimate level a GURMUKH has abandoned the physical and the mental qualities and all thats left of them is Ek (Oneness)
The example of the tree is very accurate. If a person accepts he is good as he is and takes pride in his hair and keeps his identity this encourages our children to keep kesh as well but when someone cuts kesh and leaves his identity behind he will also fuel the insecurity a child might've had and encourage him too to cut his kesh. And to my brothers who are insecure or are willing to leave their hair for pleasing someone else like maybe some girls then my brother she isn't worth your time if she doesn't like you having strong faith in your religion
Brilliant sir...with very less understanding I would also like to add that keeping yourself strict under rules and regulations teaches you discipline. But discipline for what? To become Gurmukh from inside. Mann jeetey jag jeet. To focus our mind on Guru you need dedication and good listening inside. Egoistic is never a sikh whether they look whatever from outside. Apologies if I said something wrong. Truth which very less people want to hear.
In Sikhi there is only one “sin”, to forget Waheguru. Everything else is a byproduct. As per the Khalsa Panth, the word “kurait” means prohibition, and is a violation of ones contract. It’s a very big myth that you need external things like hair, a turban, etc in order to be a “Sikh”.
Bhai saab ji, it's bajjar kurahit to cut your hair, yes we do know external things don't matter. But it is also true that you can not attain spiritual bliss without keeping hair. Because you are again creating a false identity of yourself under the trap of illusion. I respect your viewpoint but please don't tell us it's OK for a Sikh to have his/her hairs cut
It is obvious from the history of spirituality that the presence or not of hair has nothing to do with the possibility of attaining liberation. It has value, but it is not dependent upon it. Many have achieved liberation with cut or trimmed hair. There are many reasons for keeping it but the necessity of it for liberation is not one.. I agree with Bhai Satpal Singh.
Harpreet Singh, you don’t need hair in order to be a Sikh, that is a fact that is present in Gurbani & the offical Rehat Maryada. With that being said, Sikhs are still encouraged to keep it, however the choice is ultimately up to them. The Khalsa path is the ultimate path, but it’s not the only path, and the Guru also gave non Khalsa’s a Maryada as well.
The Turbanator why cut the hair if it has spiritual value (bhai Taru Singh shaheed). The people you’re unknowingly or knowingly targeting are panjabis who cut their hair and they’ll continue to cut their hair so long as they have they think they have the ability to let go their haumai without having to looking like a Sikh, and ultimately achieve true liberation. Guru gobind Singh called up a man who was sitting in the middle of the sangat to the front because he was a handsome Sikh. The next day the man found a few white hairs on his face and plucked them. Again, he sat in the middle of the sangat, but was not called up so he slowly made his way up to the front of the sangat. This is when guru sahib called upon him and told the Singh’s to slap him. Guru gobind Singh, after the Battle of Chamkaur had Sikh who had a good amount of men ask him why he didn’t send a message that such a large army was after him. Guru ji said it wasn’t needed. Guru ji was given a new gun this day and wanted to test it out so he said to the man if one of his men could be the target, the man said, politely, why and that it could kill his soldier. Guru ji said well that’s what we want to see, does the gun do it’s intended job. So he called upon two of his followers, A son and father who were arguing and debating which will be the target. Guru ji said it was with Singh’s like these that the battle of chsmkaur was fought. The man was amazed at the father and sons willingness and bravery, then asked for Amrit. There are ways to waheguru the Sikh path is one. The Gurus thought of everything, why keep hair, why wake up, why take Amrit, why it doesn’t specify in the Guru Granth Sahib ( jagat guru for everyone not just sikhs) everything and that includes why the sikhs keep hair.

@@vijant1395i highly diagree with you keeping your hairs is the "Rehatnama" provided by the Sikh Gurus....keeping them covered is just taking care of them. It's like protecting them with dusts etc.. tying a dastar keeps your hair manageable....and in warss they protect your head just like a helmet.. Also when we are born we are not able to speak so according to your ideology why its important to speak as well cause we dont have the ablity of speaking when we are born....your affermations simply don't have meanings you are connecting two very different topics....We as a Sikh keep our kesh just to follow what are Guru says...it just like being a good disciple...Also Guru Gobind Singh ji said"Bina shastra keshang narang bhed jano gahe kaan tako kite le sudano ehi mor aagya sun leho pyaare bina teg kesang na devo didaare". "A sikh of my should always have weapons and kesh the one without these two things are just like sheeps"....Also scientifically hairs are the extends of our nerves they are able to experience specific EMW which help us to connect to the supreme load and experience the vibes..just like no other part of the body can experience goosebumps but your hairs can its as simple as that ...There are many things that we are not born with but still we evolve with such thing throughout our lifes to enhance our living...so don't make it complicated and also rethink on your ideology..
Manpreet Kaur you’re missing my point. His argument not mine was the naturalistic argument. If it’s given naturally to us we should accept it is what his argument was....so nails, grass, etc should be left alone too

When I was in public high school in Canada 🇨🇦 bullies would tell me my nose is too long, big, and even UGLY. Some of these bullies were Toronto Police Officers, some were other students the same age and older than me. In a Geography class, the teacher made us make side-profiles outline of our face on a chalkboard with a partner drawing it. My nose stuck out among the rest and there was laughter. It was an embarrassing day for that 14 year old kid. This is the real reason Michael Jackson had his surgery. There is a systemic racism which ALWAYS exists in North America. From the age of my high school and now, the one the administration of the USA and Canada propagandizes you to pick on is the Brown person, the Desi, the Arab, the “Other.” Before us, it was another group, before that it was the Japanese (interment camps in Canada during WWII), before that is was the Chinese (regularly made fun of in children’s cartoons) After 9/11, I was in University with my best friend Ramanbir, and when asked by the border guard, what we studied we told him - general sciences (biology, chemistry, etc. for me) and political science for Rami. The US border agent then asked “Have you been learning to make any bombs in science class.” I was appalled. Then I was asked when the last time I was in the United States. I said it had been a few years; the officer said, it shows here you were in the USA last week in Niagara Falls (a different border than to Windsor-Detroit which we were then crossing). I said that is not possible since I had classes here. He proceeded to deny this truth, until I realized why he said this. I then told him, this car is a rental, we are going across the border to do some shopping for clothes (we heard of a store where you could get cheap university letter jackets for $7 USD so it was a great bargain at the time and still now). He then put had us pull over. The entire car was searched and smelled by canine unit dogs, our stuff thrown out of our bags, as we sat in a room with all other Brown people (perhaps 30-40 other people in total). There was however one older White lady, however she was travelling with her Black lady friend. I mentioned this to Rami, and the injustice and racial profiling of it all. He told me not to talk in there. So I didn’t. We then were let go after, I don’t know, maybe 2 hours, without even the slightest hint of an apology, smile, or congeniality; nor did they out anything back in its place - what a mess). I will never forget this, and many other incidents the Canadian police still felt entitled to do to me and us; even being beaten by them and thrown in jail only to be released without charge, or searched a number of times as I walked from the University Library to my apartment. I forgive them for the border-crossing incident, but it is worth mentioning nonetheless here because it is relevant to what Satpaul Singh Ji is saying. They have been doing this to me personally since I was 16. Still I have no criminal record as I did not commit any crime. Hopefully things will be changing for good, but I still don’t see it, because as of late they continue with the maltreatment even as an adult. This is why I moved to Asia. We will see if things change enough for me to move back to the country of my birth, Canada 🇨🇦, or whether I will settle in the country of my forefathers, India 🇮🇳 although I am aware we also are discriminated there - these times we live in are what you would expect in Kalyug anyhow 😅 Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh 🙏🏼 ✌🏼💜🙏🏼
Hair on our body is the design of nature or God. Cutting of hair is actually a way of damaging your body. And the regrowing of hair is just a healing process of your body. Every hair on the body stops growing after achieving its desired length. Its just that the hair on our head is longer than the rest of the body. So people who are cutting their hair regularly are actually growing their hair continuously for whole life. And yes the speed of a growing hair is six inches in a year. So if you have been cutting your hair for thirty years, means, that you have grown your hair 180 inches long i.e. around 15 feet. Our Gurus did not want sikhs to grow hair continuously for whole life. But to keep it as the nature desires.
"I have a daughter who is two and a half years old. Her hair is very thin and doesn't seem to be growing at all. What steps should one take in such a situation?" -We belong to Sikh family
Cutting nails is a different thing because hair doesn't harm you while nails do narm, and also the main motive of cutting hair is only it doesn't look good there is no other motive that's why he said it is rejecting the gods design

Kesh is for identity only and applies to uncut head hair for men and women and in addition beards for men only. Amritdhari women are free to remove body and facial hair. Bhatt Vahis were scribes of the Gurus (from Guru Arjan’s times onwards), the scribe from Guru Gobind Singh’s time was ‘Narbud Singh’, his writings and accurate account from the Vasakhi event of 1699 is still available today. His writings clearly state that in 1699 when Guru Gobind Singh created the Khalsa order, the 5 K’s were, Kara (iron/steel bracelet), Kachera (underpants), Kirpan (sword/dagger), Kanga (comb) and Keski (meaning head covering, Dastar or Turban). The four prohibitions for Amritdhari Sikhs are: - no halal meat, no intoxicants (alcohol, tobacco or drugs), no extramarital sex and no cutting Kesh which means head hair for men and women and in addition beards for men only. His writings clearly state ‘Keski’ as one of the 5 K’s and not cutting Kesh (head hair and beards for men - only) as one of the four prohibitions. If Kesh was one of the 5 K’s, then it would not have been one of the four prohibitions as Guru ji would not have repeated his instructions, also all the 5 K’s have to be given, keeping Kesh uncut is an instruction that has to be adhered to as are the other 3 prohibitions. Guru Gobind Singh did not use the word ‘roam’ which means all body hair as one of the prohibitions, (nor did he use it as one of the K’s which would have meant 4 K’s and 1 R (roam). Therefore, women including Amritdhari women are free to remove facial and body hair. All 5 k’s were articles of a soldier’s uniform, Kara to protect against a strike to the wrist, Kachera for ease of movement in battle, Kirpan for defence, Keski a head guard and the Kanga for discipline of combing Kesh. ‘Kesh’ meant uncut head hair (and beards for men only), the joora on top of the head was meant for two purposes, to protect against a blow to the head in battle and to create a unique identity to distinguish Sikhs from other faiths e.g. Muslims wore turbans and kept beards but did not have uncut hair, Hindu Sadhus kept jooreh but didn’t have turbans. Hence, the combination of uncut head hair (and beards for men only) and the Keski (turban, dastar) created a unique identity distinguishing Sikhs from all others. The ideas of the SGPC in their rehat maryada and of others who claim keeping unshorn hair across the body equals spirituality is wrong and is only an after - thought as spirituality has to come from inside one’s mind and body. Kesh is for identity only and means head hair for both men and women and beards for men only.
kesh include ALL hair , I don't know where you heard bibian can remove body hair , read Guru ji , Gurmukh romrom har dhiave ... is a theme ...every hair is precious , also Guru Gobind Singh slapped a sikh for removing a single hair from his beard so I doubt he said carry on shaving etc ... the four Hs are Hookah(tobacco and drugs taken by smoking), Halal( meat killed in kosher/halal way ), Haram(other's spouse and property, intoxicants and addictive substances) and Hijamat (removal of body's hair)
Dude you are so wrong thst i do not even . All i can say is" kesh" means all hairs . It can be any hair of body It does not mean head . It is word you search it on google And no there no different rules for women in sikhi r. Stop misguiding people
Well said. First time I have heard anyone say that. I feel it's not a sin cutting your hair. It's about how you treat others, how humble are you and by not judging and bragging about "proud to be a Sikh." I see several Delhites Sikh beating Rikshwalas, unnecessary indulging in fights, influencing that Sikh's are superiors than others. I am a Sikh, I cut my hair but one thing that I know is Guru Nanak dev ji will be happy if I do good, treat humans as well as animals with the same respect and by not doing or thinking bad about anyone..
I thought about cutting my hair but when i ask my familly on what i should do they say its your choice they say do it but then i think to myself is it right ? All of the guruji's and most of the prophets that i know of have long hair because they accept themselves as who they are , the reason that i want to cut my hair is because i find it to hard to maintain but at the same time i dont want to get a feeling inside me of like i disconnected from god and that i am a outcast, i still believe in the guru's teaching and believe in god i follow the sikh religion
Do it as you feel, you can always come back at keeping it... Try meditation in depth ....you will definitely understand how hairs help you ....... If you want to live materialistic life , hairs won't help you much...
@@rsseehra72 firstly hair's biological purpose is to keep your brain cool from heat coming from sun , your hair grows from roots and not from the top , they're dead that's why we don't tell pain while cutting them
Nakedness is natural why you wear clothes? The turban harms hair causes baldness. Why cover hair is it's a divine gift? What purpose does hair have on your backside ?
@@RockerfellerRothchild1776 nakedness is not natural, I don’t know why you think that. Like why would u not want to wear clothes when it’s cold, and not wear clothes in a hot and sunny day, this can harm your skin and can potentially cause skin cancer. The turban does not harm the hair, but tying the hair really tight prior to the tying of turban sure does, and I’m sorry but I don’t understand the point of your last question.
@@RockerfellerRothchild1776 not protecting a divine and sacred thing? Why would you not do this, if that’s case why do u deposit your money in the bank and not just keep it at home
Buddha had a jhorha on his head before he started meditating later he removed all of his hair. The reason why Muslims keep beard was out the feud with the Persians. The Zoroastrians have a culture of having moutache as a sign of pride. During the war against sassanids Muslims were told to keep beard but remove moutache as a sign of opposite of the Zoroastrians. Wheter Muhammed had beard or not is a issue as there is no proper image of him.
Not everyone can keep up with the true Gursikh physical appearance. As bhaiji mentioned in one of his other videos, even a Gursikh with long uncut beard who then ties his beard up, this again depends on the mindset.. Is he doing this out of practicality i. e where his job requires him to do so (as he may be preparing food for instance) or is he doing so out of vanity. The latter being part of the five vices all Sikhs are supposed to abstain from. Think too much, and the mind starts questioning . Having faith is what it's all about. The name of the game. For life is a mere worldly drama staged by the Almighty. :) 🙏and ✌️.
i have an autoimmune disorder that attacks the hair on body. for years i was denial. but i am advised to permenantly keep hair off my body. so can i be a sikh, cut my hair for medical reason. i know i cannot take amrit because i cut my hair.
Waheguru ji ka khalsa, Waheguru ji ki fateh. Firstly if am keeping hair and beard then am looking elder then my elder brother as he is clean shave, secondly as a non sikh and in India if am following the outward appearance, no doubt Guru saheb has blessed me with daily nitnem, but people get confused me being sikh so is it first one should go for amrit sanchar and then for the outward appearance.......... waiting for some light on it........
I can't help wonder if god is in everything, why do we cut our nails? Thanks for your moderate view on this. Who needs the punitive view on cutting hair and labelling it as "sin" anyway!
So blessed to have someone who can explain so beautifully, Guru Ki Bani in English. It’s straight as it is, not in riddles. Because of your appearance many Sikhs will listen to your teaching, because they recognise you as their own, you explain with such ease and clarify as not to be misunderstood, just love it. Just discovered your videos few days ago, very grateful for you sharing knowledge and experience’s.

Just loved the video on marriage with you wife, thank you both so much. Life gives many hurdles we have to cross and it’s wonderful when we mange to overcome them.

In the book named "The Autobiography of a Yogi", it's written that if our body is the tree, hair are the roots of it. They attract and absorb all the positive energy from the surroundings. Imagine the body upside down, with your hair swaying freely downwards, that's how our body looks like a tree, with hair as roots.

Understand other religions require you to have a shaved hut, cut the hair and keep hair - who's right and that's if there is a right/wrong ? Also keeping untrimmed hair brings mores issues esp. harbouring harmful bacterial growth, spread of germs, hygiene issues, viruses such as Colds Flues and recently Covid but others too. Untrimmed hair gets in the way of certain jobs, work and safety too.
There is no benefit for keeping uncut long facial hair other then because some prescribed it for spiritual beliefs.
@@techknow9237
That’s why you regularly wash your hair, uncut hair can be managed when it comes to certain jobs and safely, like wearing a patka. Uncut hair has been a part of human history since humans exist. There is no spiritual belief, there is religious belief but no spiritual belief, there is only spiritual experience, and if you had spiritual experience you’d know that uncut hair has a positive "aura" idk why it’s like that but I’ve experienced it like many other people (many of them not Sikhs btw)

This man has great wisdom no doubt, but these matters have no real answer.
Gurbani says nothing about keeping kesh, Guru Gobind Singh created the Khalsa and required "Khalsa" yo keep kesh. There is no compulsory requirement as un initiated Sikh to keep kesh.
By the way, you do realise that a "nai"..barber (Sen) has his Bani included in Guru Granth Sahib.

I absolutely loved the last part where he said, some people feel if they outwardly make themselves look, and seem more “religious”, they feel they have gained some moral ground on which to stand, lecture and wave their fingers in other peoples faces, to make themselves look better. Religion and God are a very sensitive topic for many, something that people can identify with by the masses. It’s common ground which brings people together, for which they are sometimes willing to die for. Unfortunately, many power hungry or ego filled people will use religion as a weapon for power and dominance knowing the masses will be reluctant to question them or their actions, if the convince people they are closer to God, as satpal said, because they feel and have others convinced they have checked things off their list which they think makes they morally more high and mighty, to make others feel inferior. Hit the nail on the head. I’ve seen so much of this in my life in all religions.
It’s all about what kind of person you are inside, irrespective of whether you keep or cut your hair. If you live by god’s will, treat people with respect, remember god daily, do Simran, all this will go further

@@rsseehra72 then why cut the nails ?
@@Neetphysicsbymatharusir because nails do not stop growing, like hair. You can see pictures of longest nails on the net. Practically its not possible to keep long nails. Their rate of growing is very less than the hair. They act as hinderance in your daily routine.
Cross sectional area of all the nails combined, is almost equal to half eyebrow.
@Ostracized Cynic got it...but I heard ,unshorn hairs connect you to almighty when you get into meditation which means a person with hair has better connect thon with nature than a person with no hairs..have you felt it ?
@@rsseehra72 what about medical condition any surgery requires cutting or removing of hair . Even giving birth requires that does anyone stops doctors from removing hair . No because everyone needs to live everyone needs that baby to be born. So keeping hair was 1000 years ago when there was no medical no surgery but in these times we have to change according to time. Like we want our kids to study in good schools go to best universities in older times no education was there. So everyone should evaluate according to time . What if guru Nanak Dev ji didn’t think about some changes we should have not got his teachings . He got some changes travelled got englightened according to the era in which Nanak was born. Nowadays ppl are confuse they keep following old things and live in 21 century forcing their kids to do the same. That’s why depression anxiety stress hatred is so much in today’s generation.
Waheguru ji. This is bliss. Exactly it's all the thinking which is polluted. This society teaches us that keeping hair is ugly. Today when seeing a Gursikh girl keeping beard I question myself do I have the courage and faith to do the same. And the answer comes a straight no. Because I was and is always taught to see and now believe that girls are pretty in a certain way. And not only an external look. But the way we think,view and perceive life. The way we think life is to be lived and what aim is to be achieved. It's all what the society filled with egoistic ppl teaches us. Trying to make us the same. There is a fear which comes to stand up against the fixed norm of a living standard made for us today ,because I was made to accept,it my mind was filled with all this mess. When it was completely raw. And now when listening to the right direction my minds flickers because the proper base to adopt sikhi and gurmat is yet to be made. Listening sikhi and then adopting it are two different stages. As guru Nanak ji says suniye and maniye. We live in a society which controls our life choices. I question it alot to my parents, till when are we going to follow this way. When will we embrace our guru's teachings. Don't you fear that life is passing. Time and our chance to win this life and many beyond shall be lost and then only regret shall remain. Kabir ji says.( LOOTNA HAI THO LOOT LO, NAAM HAI LOOT. FIR PACHE PACHTAGA PRAN JAEGE CHOOT.) It's not about wheater to keep hair or be a amritdhari or not. Sikhi is adopting the wisdom. The mentality first and foremost. Satpal singh ji said it so right. That today majority of amritdhari's are judgemental. They think by adopting an outer look of a displined Sikh. They are completely a true Sikh. Making the non amritdhari's feel inferior. This exists alot in our community today. I pray to the lord that may I always learn and embrace sikhi with the right intentions ( bhavna) because adopting it in ego. Is worse than not learning it.

Very good talk by Bhai Ji, once again
When people ask me about the different aspects of Sikhi practice and lifestyle, I explain it like this:
Sikhi is essentially about the Absolute, Changeless and Eternal Truth - which in my understanding has everything to do with unconditional, boundless and all-encompassing Love.
The purpose of Sikhi Teachings - with all of the true and original Scriptures, Kirtan, Saroop, Rehat and other elements - is absolutely and with no exception to point anyone who wish to know the Truth in the direction of just that. As a whole, Sikhi Teachings is like an extraordinarily beautiful treasure chest, where each and every part is like a tool or a signpost with the potential to help us See what existence is all about, to see Who or What we truly are. Each element is merely an offering to guide us Home, but they are not the only valid or true ones as such.
In the respect, growing hair is one suggestion from our Guru's on how to constantly remind ourselves of Truth and our own True identity. It may serve as that for some people, but for others there may be other practices that prove more useful as reminders and doorways to Guru, to absolute Reality, to God.
This journey is essentially about connecting with the Unspeakable, not the specifics of how we do it.

At last....an excellent explanation...this man speaks the truth
Interesting how we have preachers from the same religion with different teachings/viewpoints. Jagpal Singh of Basics of Sikhi has clearly mentioned many a times in his videos that keeping kesh is mendatory as it is the ‘aagya’ of guru and if you don’t live a gursikh life you will be punished after you die. He has also said that you just cannot question the guru, you just got to do what he ordered. This channel seems to be a toned down and less fundamental version of Basics of Sikhi.
Few points I would like to make:
An average Sikh is a ‘sadhu’ without ‘saadhna’. The whole system is upside down. We create sadhus first and then expect them to do saadhna. Ideally, it should be the other way around. One does ‘saadhna’, ‘tap’, meditate, goes inwards, connects with that ‘oneness’ and in the process gets rid off his/her ego. And once the ego is gone, how one looks, complements from others, importance and attention from others, all these things become insignificant. The question of cutting or not cutting hair, tying daarhi etc… becomes irrelevant. The sikh community is in a sad state, we are giving our children sadhu’s roop on a plate. We forcefully tell them not to cut their hair, we threaten them that if they did, the ‘babbaji’ is gonna be angry and you will have to pay for it when you die; or blackmail them with the qurbaniya stories of gurus. The child has done no tap/saadhna/meditation whatsoever, he has no realisation of the god other than the baba ji sitting somewhere in the skies keeping a watch on him if he cuts his hair, his ego hasn’t vanished yet and then these kind of questions arises in his mind. I personally feel that the 10th guru missed the trick by making kesh mandatory, anything we do as a mandatory act or a rule has no significance whatsoever and sooner or later it loses its value. May be it worked 300 years ago, but it has no significance in todays time.
In one of your videos you mentioned that a person wants to cut his hair because he wants to look good and beautiful, here you mentioned at @2:38 that you feel beautiful with the uncut hair and beard, and how you decorate yourself with turban to express your inner joy. Don’t you see that there is a desire to look good in you and the person who cuts his hair? Fundamentally, both are focusing on physical appearance or sticking to the body. The ego is there, but it just has different forms.
The explanation that sikhs don’t cut hair because one shouldn’t focus on physical appearance as it serves the ego doesn’t sound quite right and is actually hypocritical when you consider that the 10th guru clearly instructed and made it mandatory for sikhs to wear a turban so that they ‘look in a certain way’. He gave his followers a ‘physical identity’. It’s a harsh truth - ‘look’ has a very important place in Sikhism; one needs an unbiased mind, free from the baggage of ‘qurbaniyan’, to see that. And when there is a physical identity, there is ego. Sikhs often say that their turban is their pride, pride is nothing but food for ego. The 10th guru made it mandatory to wear a turban, didn’t he focus on physical appearance or ‘the body’ or how he wants his believers to look in a certain way? Isn’t that contrary to the whole concept of how I look should not matter? Cutting hair to look good or to gain complements and wearing a turban as a uniform, both are fundamentally same, as in both cases, one is focussing on the physical appearance.
Looking good is not always the reason why some sikhs cut their hair. I know many sikhs who just can’t understand the concept of wrapping their head with such a huge piece of cloth all day long. I live in the scorching heat of Rajasthan, when I remove my turban after having it on for 12-14 hours in 45 C of heat, my hair is drenched in sweat. How is that even intelligent? Wrapping your head in a 5-meter-long and half a meter-wide cloth for all day has no practical significance.
Ultimately, it is all about the ego, whether somebody cuts his hair or not is insignificant.

Nanak said, you don’t need to be a hindu or a musalman to worhip the lord, all you need is a connection with God… it is funny how god doesn’t give a damn if you are a hindu or a musalman, but he is surely pissed off if you are a sikh and don’t have hair and weapons.
@@tanuj886 You are talking of a mortal sikh perspective not that of a khalsa. An immortal being created for the protection of dharma itself. Both are correct.
Brother, if you don't think Sikhi is practical, if you think keeping kesh is not necessary, it's completely your choice. I appreciate you discussing your views here.
You know, once Bahadur Shah asked Guru Gobind Singh Ji, "Which religion is better, Islam or Sikhi?"
Gurupita replied...
"For you, yours better. For me, mine is better."
And btw, I live in Rajasthan too. And believe me, turban really helps me in all situations. Though I haven't made my turban permanent (Hindu family, personal issues), slowly I will wear a turban for the rest of my life.
Please forgive me if I hurt your feelings.
Waheguru Ji ka Khalsa
Waheguru Ji ki Fateh 🙏
Brother I love your work!!
A few points your forgot to touch please!!
The indepth connection of the hair to the nervous system? The indepth height of meditation with this extension of our nervous system through our hair!
There is so much more than just being humble by keeping the hair! These life strands are nerves! Connected to our nervous system!! Like an antenna!! We receive and transcend through these nerves as we gain the universal download. It obviously cannot be described! It would be great if you can go indepth about this specific topic.
Maharaja Ranjit Singh, is said to have very long nose hair coming out of there nose, & they were a Maharaja!
Why is this? In deep sense of deliberation these nerves assist us
Others have said, if you felt pain cutting your hair would you cut your hair? Like cutting a limb. You wouldn't cut your limb? Even if it was fashion, Because u feel pain and you will loose. Same way when you cut you hair you are cutting veins of your nervous system. All for the sake of fashion!
Not to judge as I grew up cutting my hair unfortunately! Yet when one is connected to oneness. Ek Onkar. Then it is quite vital that we keep our hair and not cut it to futher enhance our connection to Ek Onkar 🙏🏼
I'm always stumped about the not cutting of hair, I think it's easier for men to keep beard and long hair, where as for girls it becomes difficult with facial hair.
High level philosophy mate
Sir Sri Guru Gobind Singh Maharaaj was Great person really beyond what you ever thought beyond what you ever see 🙏🙏🙏
Very very good explanation! To wear a turban is for a better ego and better character to be on gurus side.
But majority is sikhs have EGO when they tie turban...worldly EGoO..
Thank you for this. I have been chastised because I chose to cut my hair. In a moment, I was seen as 'not Sikh enough ' and 'someone who stopped following Sikhi'. This judgement invariably came from Amritdharis
Bhaji is right
Keeping or Cutting the Hair is only important on an intellectual level. On an ultimate level a GURMUKH has abandoned the physical and the mental qualities and all thats left of them is Ek (Oneness)
What a beautiful explanation...
wow explain in such a good way
thxxx for such a beautiful video
The example of the tree is very accurate. If a person accepts he is good as he is and takes pride in his hair and keeps his identity this encourages our children to keep kesh as well but when someone cuts kesh and leaves his identity behind he will also fuel the insecurity a child might've had and encourage him too to cut his kesh.
And to my brothers who are insecure or are willing to leave their hair for pleasing someone else like maybe some girls then my brother she isn't worth your time if she doesn't like you having strong faith in your religion
Love your work and u really made me feel relaxed
Brilliant sir...with very less understanding I would also like to add that keeping yourself strict under rules and regulations teaches you discipline. But discipline for what? To become Gurmukh from inside. Mann jeetey jag jeet. To focus our mind on Guru you need dedication and good listening inside. Egoistic is never a sikh whether they look whatever from outside. Apologies if I said something wrong. Truth which very less people want to hear.

Fact !!!
This video needs to be seen by more people.
In Sikhi there is only one “sin”, to forget Waheguru. Everything else is a byproduct.
As per the Khalsa Panth, the word “kurait” means prohibition, and is a violation of ones contract.
It’s a very big myth that you need external things like hair, a turban, etc in order to be a “Sikh”.
Bhai saab ji, it's bajjar kurahit to cut your hair, yes we do know external things don't matter. But it is also true that you can not attain spiritual bliss without keeping hair.
Because you are again creating a false identity of yourself under the trap of illusion. I respect your viewpoint but please don't tell us it's OK for a Sikh to have his/her hairs cut
It is obvious from the history of spirituality that the presence or not of hair has nothing to do with the possibility of attaining liberation. It has value, but it is not dependent upon it. Many have achieved liberation with cut or trimmed hair. There are many reasons for keeping it but the necessity of it for liberation is not one.. I agree with Bhai Satpal Singh.
Harpreet Singh, you don’t need hair in order to be a Sikh, that is a fact that is present in Gurbani & the offical Rehat Maryada.
With that being said, Sikhs are still encouraged to keep it, however the choice is ultimately up to them. The Khalsa path is the ultimate path, but it’s not the only path, and the Guru also gave non Khalsa’s a Maryada as well.
The Turbanator n
The Turbanator why cut the hair if it has spiritual value (bhai Taru Singh shaheed). The people you’re unknowingly or knowingly targeting are panjabis who cut their hair and they’ll continue to cut their hair so long as they have they think they have the ability to let go their haumai without having to looking like a Sikh, and ultimately achieve true liberation.
Guru gobind Singh called up a man who was sitting in the middle of the sangat to the front because he was a handsome Sikh. The next day the man found a few white hairs on his face and plucked them. Again, he sat in the middle of the sangat, but was not called up so he slowly made his way up to the front of the sangat. This is when guru sahib called upon him and told the Singh’s to slap him.
Guru gobind Singh, after the Battle of Chamkaur had Sikh who had a good amount of men ask him why he didn’t send a message that such a large army was after him. Guru ji said it wasn’t needed. Guru ji was given a new gun this day and wanted to test it out so he said to the man if one of his men could be the target, the man said, politely, why and that it could kill his soldier. Guru ji said well that’s what we want to see, does the gun do it’s intended job. So he called upon two of his followers, A son and father who were arguing and debating which will be the target. Guru ji said it was with Singh’s like these that the battle of chsmkaur was fought. The man was amazed at the father and sons willingness and bravery, then asked for Amrit.
There are ways to waheguru the Sikh path is one. The Gurus thought of everything, why keep hair, why wake up, why take Amrit, why it doesn’t specify in the Guru Granth Sahib ( jagat guru for everyone not just sikhs) everything and that includes why the sikhs keep hair.
You mean to say “ we accept the nature ! Love nature ! Nature is God “
amazing explanation, waheguru
But then nails are also part of good then we shouldn’t cut nail as well
Well said.. i am highly motivated with your positive speech 🙏
I disagree with this..He says keeping your hair is living in hukum…
so you’re accepting how you were meant to be. Basically accept everything that’s come naturally to your body.
Accept what has come to you naturally.
We are born naked…that’s our natural form. We should just remain naked based on this argument.
We aren’t born with a dastar, so why cover our heads based on this argument. Just let our hair be. Why cover it?
He citied past spiritual masters had hair…(look up Vlad III, Fidel Castro, Leopold II of Belgium, Stalin, Hitler)…all had beards or moustache. The Dalia Lama has no hair at all. Cant use hair as a measure of spiritual validity even the ones he did cite…none of them covered their hair.
Our nails will grow very very long if we leave them alone…why do we cut them, if we are saying we are meant to accept our natural form.
Why do we cut the grass in our gardens? Why do we remove weeds? This is nature as intended so why not leave it like it is.
By this suggestion it naturally leads to a conclusion that people who cut their hair cant be spiritual or connected to the divine….
These are physical things, they don’t matter. Its our actions & intentions that define us, not our appearances.
@@vijant1395i highly diagree with you keeping your hairs is the "Rehatnama" provided by the Sikh Gurus....keeping them covered is just taking care of them. It's like protecting them with dusts etc.. tying a dastar keeps your hair manageable....and in warss they protect your head just like a helmet..
Also when we are born we are not able to speak so according to your ideology why its important to speak as well cause we dont have the ablity of speaking when we are born....your affermations simply don't have meanings you are connecting two very different topics....We as a Sikh keep our kesh just to follow what are Guru says...it just like being a good disciple...Also Guru Gobind Singh ji said"Bina shastra keshang narang bhed jano gahe kaan tako kite le sudano ehi mor aagya sun leho pyaare bina teg kesang na devo didaare". "A sikh of my should always have weapons and kesh the one without these two things are just like sheeps"....Also scientifically hairs are the extends of our nerves they are able to experience specific EMW which help us to connect to the supreme load and experience the vibes..just like no other part of the body can experience goosebumps but your hairs can its as simple as that ...There are many things that we are not born with but still we evolve with such thing throughout our lifes to enhance our living...so don't make it complicated and also rethink on your ideology..
Manpreet Kaur you’re missing my point. His argument not mine was the naturalistic argument. If it’s given naturally to us we should accept it is what his argument was....so nails, grass, etc should be left alone too
@@vijant1395 you know nothing bro u need to know many things good luck stay safe
Manpreet Kaur sounds like you’ve conceded you’re argument
Sir Vaheguruji is beyond what you ever thought 🙏🙏🙇
Hair on our body is the design of nature or God.
Cutting of hair is actually a way of damaging your body.
And the regrowing of hair is just a healing process of your body.
Every hair on the body stops growing after achieving its desired length. Its just that the hair on our head is longer than the rest of the body.
So people who are cutting their hair regularly are actually growing their hair continuously for whole life.
And yes the speed of a growing hair is six inches in a year. So if you have been cutting your hair for thirty years, means, that you have grown your hair 180 inches long i.e. around 15 feet.
Our Gurus did not want sikhs to grow hair continuously for whole life. But to keep it as the nature desires.
Explained beautifully. God bless
When I was in public high school in Canada 🇨🇦 bullies would tell me my nose is too long, big, and even UGLY. Some of these bullies were Toronto Police Officers, some were other students the same age and older than me. In a Geography class, the teacher made us make side-profiles outline of our face on a chalkboard with a partner drawing it. My nose stuck out among the rest and there was laughter. It was an embarrassing day for that 14 year old kid. This is the real reason Michael Jackson had his surgery. There is a systemic racism which ALWAYS exists in North America.
From the age of my high school and now, the one the administration of the USA and Canada propagandizes you to pick on is the Brown person, the Desi, the Arab, the “Other.” Before us, it was another group, before that it was the Japanese (interment camps in Canada during WWII), before that is was the Chinese (regularly made fun of in children’s cartoons)
After 9/11, I was in University with my best friend Ramanbir, and when asked by the border guard, what we studied we told him - general sciences (biology, chemistry, etc. for me) and political science for Rami. The US border agent then asked “Have you been learning to make any bombs in science class.” I was appalled. Then I was asked when the last time I was in the United States. I said it had been a few years; the officer said, it shows here you were in the USA last week in Niagara Falls (a different border than to Windsor-Detroit which we were then crossing). I said that is not possible since I had classes here. He proceeded to deny this truth, until I realized why he said this. I then told him, this car is a rental, we are going across the border to do some shopping for clothes (we heard of a store where you could get cheap university letter jackets for $7 USD so it was a great bargain at the time and still now). He then put had us pull over.
The entire car was searched and smelled by canine unit dogs, our stuff thrown out of our bags, as we sat in a room with all other Brown people (perhaps 30-40 other people in total). There was however one older White lady, however she was travelling with her Black lady friend. I mentioned this to Rami, and the injustice and racial profiling of it all. He told me not to talk in there. So I didn’t. We then were let go after, I don’t know, maybe 2 hours, without even the slightest hint of an apology, smile, or congeniality; nor did they out anything back in its place - what a mess). I will never forget this, and many other incidents the Canadian police still felt entitled to do to me and us; even being beaten by them and thrown in jail only to be released without charge, or searched a number of times as I walked from the University Library to my apartment. I forgive them for the border-crossing incident, but it is worth mentioning nonetheless here because it is relevant to what Satpaul Singh Ji is saying. They have been doing this to me personally since I was 16. Still I have no criminal record as I did not commit any crime.
Hopefully things will be changing for good, but I still don’t see it, because as of late they continue with the maltreatment even as an adult. This is why I moved to Asia. We will see if things change enough for me to move back to the country of my birth, Canada 🇨🇦, or whether I will settle in the country of my forefathers, India 🇮🇳 although I am aware we also are discriminated there - these times we live in are what you would expect in Kalyug anyhow 😅

1:20 ,, how about cutting nails ??
Cutting nails is a different thing because hair doesn't harm you while nails do narm, and also the main motive of cutting hair is only it doesn't look good there is no other motive that's why he said it is rejecting the gods design

Greatly described.
Kesh is for identity only and applies to uncut head hair for men and women and in addition beards for men only. Amritdhari women are free to remove body and facial hair. Bhatt Vahis were scribes of the Gurus (from Guru Arjan’s times onwards), the scribe from Guru Gobind Singh’s time was ‘Narbud Singh’, his writings and accurate account from the Vasakhi event of 1699 is still available today. His writings clearly state that in 1699 when Guru Gobind Singh created the Khalsa order, the 5 K’s were, Kara (iron/steel bracelet), Kachera (underpants), Kirpan (sword/dagger), Kanga (comb) and Keski (meaning head covering, Dastar or Turban). The four prohibitions for Amritdhari Sikhs are: - no halal meat, no intoxicants (alcohol, tobacco or drugs), no extramarital sex and no cutting Kesh which means head hair for men and women and in addition beards for men only. His writings clearly state ‘Keski’ as one of the 5 K’s and not cutting Kesh (head hair and beards for men - only) as one of the four prohibitions. If Kesh was one of the 5 K’s, then it would not have been one of the four prohibitions as Guru ji would not have repeated his instructions, also all the 5 K’s have to be given, keeping Kesh uncut is an instruction that has to be adhered to as are the other 3 prohibitions. Guru Gobind Singh did not use the word ‘roam’ which means all body hair as one of the prohibitions, (nor did he use it as one of the K’s which would have meant 4 K’s and 1 R (roam). Therefore, women including Amritdhari women are free to remove facial and body hair. All 5 k’s were articles of a soldier’s uniform, Kara to protect against a strike to the wrist, Kachera for ease of movement in battle, Kirpan for defence, Keski a head guard and the Kanga for discipline of combing Kesh. ‘Kesh’ meant uncut head hair (and beards for men only), the joora on top of the head was meant for two purposes, to protect against a blow to the head in battle and to create a unique identity to distinguish Sikhs from other faiths e.g. Muslims wore turbans and kept beards but did not have uncut hair, Hindu Sadhus kept jooreh but didn’t have turbans. Hence, the combination of uncut head hair (and beards for men only) and the Keski (turban, dastar) created a unique identity distinguishing Sikhs from all others. The ideas of the SGPC in their rehat maryada and of others who claim keeping unshorn hair across the body equals spirituality is wrong and is only an after - thought as spirituality has to come from inside one’s mind and body. Kesh is for identity only and means head hair for both men and women and beards for men only.
kesh include ALL hair , I don't know where you heard bibian can remove body hair , read Guru ji , Gurmukh romrom har dhiave ... is a theme ...every hair is precious , also Guru Gobind Singh slapped a sikh for removing a single hair from his beard so I doubt he said carry on shaving etc ... the four Hs are Hookah(tobacco and drugs taken by smoking), Halal( meat killed in kosher/halal way ), Haram(other's spouse and property, intoxicants and addictive substances) and Hijamat (removal of body's hair)
Dude you are so wrong thst i do not even .
All i can say is" kesh" means all hairs . It can be any hair of body
It does not mean head . It is word you search it on google
And no there no different rules for women in sikhi r. Stop misguiding people
Today, I have got my answer.
Love you babaji. You are an Angel truely . Love you from core of my heart. God bless you as ever.
If someone doesnt believe he she shouldnt live lying to himself everytime he wakes up in the morning that would be a disservice to himself
Excellent.
SIR BABAJI IS GREAT SPIRITUAL MASTER OF HIS Sikhs 🙏🙏🙏
Very good analogy of driving test. Very well explained bhai ji🙏
What about the nail??
Yes but only if it goes beyond the finger and becomes "dead" hope this helps
It was the tenth masters hukam for all his Singh's to keep their Kesh and Dhari..
All should learn from Sikhs . Thank 's Waheguru ji ❤❤❤
Well said. First time I have heard anyone say that. I feel it's not a sin cutting your hair. It's about how you treat others, how humble are you and by not judging and bragging about "proud to be a Sikh." I see several Delhites Sikh beating Rikshwalas, unnecessary indulging in fights, influencing that Sikh's are superiors than others. I am a Sikh, I cut my hair but one thing that I know is Guru Nanak dev ji will be happy if I do good, treat humans as well as animals with the same respect and by not doing or thinking bad about anyone..
Be good !!

I thought about cutting my hair but when i ask my familly on what i should do they say its your choice they say do it
but then i think to myself is it right ? All of the guruji's and most of the prophets that i know of have long hair because they accept themselves as who they are , the reason that i want to cut my hair is because i find it to hard to maintain but at the same time i dont want to get a feeling inside me of like i disconnected from god and that i am a outcast, i still believe in the guru's teaching and believe in god i follow the sikh religion
Do it as you feel, you can always come back at keeping it... Try meditation in depth ....you will definitely understand how hairs help you ....... If you want to live materialistic life , hairs won't help you much...
@@rsseehra72 firstly hair's biological purpose is to keep your brain cool from heat coming from sun , your hair grows from roots and not from the top , they're dead that's why we don't tell pain while cutting them
Sir time is beyond numbers 🙏🙏
Very well said. WaheGuru. God bless u. Thanks a lot
My question is can I still have spiritual development keeping my hair short...
🙏 beautiful explanation 🙏
If it's is a personal feeling then you shouldn't make it a compulsion.
Let's them take the decision right ?
There’s a reason Bhai Taru Singh said "you can take my scalp but not my hair." Our hair is spiritual energy. It’s not just about being natural.
Nakedness is natural why you wear clothes?
The turban harms hair causes baldness. Why cover hair is it's a divine gift?
What purpose does hair have on your backside ?
@@RockerfellerRothchild1776 who said Turban causes baldness. And you missed the point of what they said lol
@@RockerfellerRothchild1776 nakedness is not natural, I don’t know why you think that. Like why would u not want to wear clothes when it’s cold, and not wear clothes in a hot and sunny day, this can harm your skin and can potentially cause skin cancer. The turban does not harm the hair, but tying the hair really tight prior to the tying of turban sure does, and I’m sorry but I don’t understand the point of your last question.
@@RockerfellerRothchild1776 not protecting a divine and sacred thing? Why would you not do this, if that’s case why do u deposit your money in the bank and not just keep it at home
Waheguru g, Can we cut our perineal hairs if we are baptized, can we cut them to avoid some medical issues???
Buddha had a jhorha on his head before he started meditating later he removed all of his hair.
The reason why Muslims keep beard was out the feud with the Persians. The Zoroastrians have a culture of having moutache as a sign of pride. During the war against sassanids Muslims were told to keep beard but remove moutache as a sign of opposite of the Zoroastrians.
Wheter Muhammed had beard or not is a issue as there is no proper image of him.
Not everyone can keep up with the true Gursikh physical appearance. As bhaiji mentioned in one of his other videos, even a Gursikh with long uncut beard who then ties his beard up, this again depends on the mindset.. Is he doing this out of practicality i. e where his job requires him to do so (as he may be preparing food for instance) or is he doing so out of vanity. The latter being part of the five vices all Sikhs are supposed to abstain from. Think too much, and the mind starts questioning . Having faith is what it's all about. The name of the game. For life is a mere worldly drama staged by the Almighty. :) 🙏and ✌️.
i have an autoimmune disorder that attacks the hair on body. for years i was denial. but i am advised to permenantly keep hair off my body. so can i be a sikh, cut my hair for medical reason. i know i cannot take amrit because i cut my hair.
Many sikh that move to western countries start cutting hair and keep them short
Waheguru ji ka khalsa, Waheguru ji ki fateh. Firstly if am keeping hair and beard then am looking elder then my elder brother as he is clean shave, secondly as a non sikh and in India if am following the outward appearance, no doubt Guru saheb has blessed me with daily nitnem, but people get confused me being sikh so is it first one should go for amrit sanchar and then for the outward appearance.......... waiting for some light on it........
I can't help wonder if god is in everything, why do we cut our nails? Thanks for your moderate view on this. Who needs the punitive view on cutting hair and labelling it as "sin" anyway!
Bro when your working and doing your daily business Nails would break or wear down naturally.
