I was also in the state as you are in. Then, because there was no one to help me I found new ways to do things like pauni, pag style, etc. Try things be creative. Wearing pag is an art that how I pursue it.

Regarding your question, fasten it to something around which you can have a knot. It doesn't matter what it is.

Let us know if you are still unable to help yourself.

Is there some text from Gurbani that someone can point here? Actually this came when I was in discussion with a stranger and thus now I wanted to know more about it.

SSA sadh sangat ji,

I am deeply interested in knowing the concept of heaven that Guruji has shown us. I am more interested in reading the scriptures than knowing the interpretation. Can anyone help me please?

Well, except Kirpan, all other kakkars are not a part of a normal (non-Sikh) soldier's life.

How can you logically prove Kanga (COMB) without Kesh; I haven't seen any non-Sikh carrying a Kanga on his head. How can one logically prove Kanga for a soldier?

Kachera is also not a must dress-code for a Soldier, but a special significance for Khalsa.

Kada is also not required for a soldier.

I don't understand how can somebody prove all other K's as a part of any Soldier's life?

Morever, Sikh has a spiritual identity first and the first 4 Kakkar's provide the spirtual context; and then the Kirpan provides the Warrior context - but I am still unable to understand the statement "I can understand and logically prove the other K's being a part of any soldiers life".

(1). How can you prove other 4 Kakkar's (expect Kesh) being a part of USA/UK/Canadian/German etc. etc. i.e. ANY soldier's life; as you say "I can understand and logically prove other K's being a part of any soldiers life".

(2). You seem to have mis-understood the whole concept by thinking of a Sikh as a normal soldier.

A Sikh is not a normal soldier - A normal soldier might get involved in booty/post-war mischeivious acts, like soldiers of Indian Army who do mass human-rights abuse in Kashmir, Indian Police (soldiers) killing innocent Sikhs in Nov' 1984, Indian Army soldiers shooting innocents in a religious place. So, basically these are not soldiers, these are state-sponsored terrorists in the outfit of state provided dress code. A Sikh when he becomes a soldier is guided by the teachings of Guru and Kakkar's never allow him to do any of the mis-deeds as done by state-sponsored terrorists .

Kakkar's are for a Sikh to guide him at every instance and walk of his life to always keep remembrance of Guru's taught path, even when not in soldier's mode, and when a Sikh enters a soldier's mode; not to do deeds as done by state-sponsored-terrorists in the outfit of soldiers.

I really want to write some of my thoughts on your viewpoint.

I am really sticking to the point that I can justify K's as a soldiers life.

1. There are morals taught to every soldier
2. Soldiers represent a side/country for whom they fight
3. Some tools he must possess to keep him clean
4. Some disciplines that he must follow

I am really sure that having kesh is really nice, I want to share my personal experience with what I have been gone through:

This has always happened everyday that I comb my hair and wear Pagdi and continue my daily work. It gives me pleasure and self confidence where I have some other identity other than just a name. I have seen people remembering me more than I do giving me good feeling and this has helped me being more responsible in my life. It is because I have to be more conscious of my deeds and never get involved in any of the useless and demeaning deeds that other people do with their life. It keeps me away from such kinds of people and their world. So in a way this has helped me.

I really want to read more about Sikh being a spiritual soldier and in turn a good human being.

:waheguru:

It is not just for Sikhs - a normal human is born with Kesh - That is the image/Swarrop which Akal Purakh has given to a human being. And it is not just to be kept by Sikhs - the maryada of old age Rishis/Sadhus/previous generation people used to keep Kesh; Sikhism making it mandatory did an excellent job for not violating the Akal Purakh Code of Conduct. In that case, I will classify all rest as Keshless Sikhs.

For a man, distinguishing him from woman when grows up ...

Any other questions OR arguments? There have been people around on this and other such forums, and also elsewhere with such sort of Tark-Vitark analysis with a clear instruction from RSS to finish Sikhism by first attacking the Kesh concept, I wish this question as your first post on this forum was not on these lines ...

I am not one of them who have the motive of slacken the roots of Sikhs, I would never do it for what I follow everyday. I am a kind of person who likes to justify himself for what he is doing.

I did not want to agonize anyone with my question.I am sorry if I did that; and eventually my forum post will increase

I think the basis of every religion is unique and RSS or any other organization cannot uproot Sikhi.

SSA sangat ji,

I have always followed rehat from my birth and I have also read our history; how our beloved gurujis were firm about keeping kesh. But I am not sure for what reason do we have hair as one of the K's? I am not against keeping them for the rest of my life, but can anyone explain me and give some more insight. I am a new bud, I have less knowledge about Sikhi but I really want to learn and abide.

The point is that sometimes I dont get answers from any of my friends but these are the questions that comes to my mind often. I can understand and logically prove the other K's being a part of any soldiers life but this baffles me.

Bhul chuk maaf.
