"The complete form of man is with a beard, which is left untied. The Kesh are combed by this person with a wooden Kangha."

Amritdharee Singhs are to keep their beards open and untied.

an honest answer would be NO...it is NOT against sikhism to tie your beard..well at least not the PANTH's maryada...

that is the AKal Takt maryada...it doesn't mention any prohibition on tieing your beard..

i believe that when we answer these rehit questions...we should answer as per the akal takt maryada...not our own group's maryada... this is not a dig at the damdami taksaal...in fact...the marayda i follow is pretty much the taksali maryada..but still if the PANTH as a WHOLE has not said that tieing is wrong..then we should offer the opinion of our groups but not cite them as representative of all sikhism...

hope i didn't offend anyone

veer je the akal takht maryada isnt panthic either

not all jathai were invloved, and some stuff it says GOES AGASINT EVERY SINGLE JATHA INT HE PANTH

so it isnt really a panthic mryada

and akal takht has veen said taksal is one of the panthic maryadas, ull see tha in taksal book it says this maryada is verified by the akal takht

so even akal takht itself doesnt say tha u have to follow our maryada or thas it

and best thing is to look at fact that banee says to stay sabath surath right? and we shud keep the form of the khalsa

i mean khalsa mero roop hai khaas

like for jobs and stuff ya everyone understands

even sant ishar singh je did for army

but for heck of it

prob best to leave it untied

looks better too

the lovely open flowing beard is soooo beautiful why anyone would want to stick it back with anything is beyond me, Guruji made it perfect, leave it that way (apart frm work stuff, understandable). :wub:

[singh surma]

the main point is not to cut our hair/beards because they're a natural part of our body. and if we have them then they must be there for a reason as nothing in nature evolves without purpose.

i think weather tieing or leaving your beard open should be left to the individual...whatever you feel is more comfortable and/or looks better. :TH:

khalsa mera roop hey kaas - no to tied beard

just wanted to add my opinion in form of 2 analagies:

1>Isn't it like fixing ur smallst finger to the finger next to it.. becuase you never use it

2>And Isn't it lyk trimming the beard, since ur not letting it free.. (not be proud of it as much).

ofcourse work conditions will be easily acceptable.. since health is involved. But hair is part of body so hsould be look aftered huna? fixing it down kinda spoils it dusnt it?
