well people i have a friend of mine and he just kinda is ever curious about the religion and is always askin me different questions.

well he recently he asked me that why do we keep our hair, to which i replied that because Guruji wants us to be the way God has sent us and we should not make any changes to ourselves.

to this he again asked me that why do we cut our nails then to which i had no answer.

it will be really great if someone can help me out with this and provide me with some appropriate answer.

i will be waiting for ur replies.

thanx.

Cleanliness is next to Godliness. If one cuts his/her hair, it’s not because it is dirty, it is simply for fashion. You do not go to the hair saloon or barbers because your hair is filthy; if your hair is filthy, you simple use shampoo, conditioner, etc and have a shower and

wala, your hair fresh and clean again. When anybody cuts their hair it is because of FASHION not hygiene.

On the other hand finger/toe nails cause bacteria and filth to be trapped within them. The ONLY way of cleaning the appropriately is by cutting them so that all the trapped dirt can be removed. If you have long finger nails, when you eat, clean, etc dirt tends to get trapped between the nail and finger. Therefore, Sikhs cut their nails and not hair – because of hygiene and not fashion. Do you not think that the CREATOR has fashioned us enough, rather then us fashion our selves???

actually, its agenst Sikhi to cut,pierce,etc any part of our body, including nails. dont take it that my nails are 15 ft or anything. our nails actualyy dont grow. its the white part we cut, which is build up of dead nail cells. if we actually cut the pink part, as it is not dead,it would be sinful i guess. he do not cut our hair, but i'd say it'd all right screwing around with dead hair, as its dead, not that theres any reason. personally, i burn shedded hair, as it still is our mohr

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
