We also had this discussion on americansikhs yahoo group long time ago and girls there too, preferred khulli dahri. I think most of the guys who tie or put gel on their beards do so to impress girls, but now i have read the discussion on both forums, that girls do not like tied or gelled beards. To me personally, khulli dahri is a real saroop of a Singh, a Lion. We should be proud of our beards. I apply lil baby oil to it cuz it becomes dry after taking shower, just like hair on our head, and comb it.

veero its not hte same thing as oil. oil helps to enrich ur hair and make it stronger whereas gel is much like dyes and bleaches and damages ur hair.

their are quite a few puraatan rehatnamas saying that those who dye, bleach or color their hair are thankhaheea.. i think gels and fixos fall under that category.

i'm pretty sure the ladies in favor of kulli dhari :) ju know its seksi

ne ways lets be seroius not that the above is a lie...

what is a lion without its main?

*a pimp without his caine?* (added effect for comedy)

a singh without his khoolo dhari?

Mod Note: Thank you for the comedy (!) but jee let's stay away from 'such words'.

lol women look good with open dari 2 :( lol

Lol gmb_sim.

I think the human looks the <admin-cut> untouched- <ADMIN-CUT!!!!>

The dhari is a functionally important tissue for humans. It serves as potential 'antenas

' of the face and helps keep the skin moisterised. In areas where skin surface heat loss due to conduction, convection and radiation exeeds heat gain, the dhari serves as an essential insulater of the face where heat loss is most substantial. Along come the benifits of protecting the facial skin from occasional insect bites and <admin-cut>.

My point is, ladies and gentelmen- keep the dhari and leave it open.

i agree with the machinery part.. but anyone having their beirds tugged.. is this khalsa singhs? come on.. no sikh would stand for that or even allow it!

as for being "neat" and "presentable" you mean according to western thought? so should women shave their legs and armpits to be "neat" and "presentable" and not look "shabby" ?

i think a singh with an open dhari which is kept clean and combed etc looks a lot neater than some clean shaven person with little stubble in their face.

Gur Fateh!

I'm not using any western thoughts here thank you! I agree that some folks simply dont' know how to tie their beards and end up wreaking their beards et al -but to say gel is the same as dying and make-up...well guys, get a grip, wearing a dastaar gives you a spam-head receding hairline...what are you going to suggest next???

As per the 'This is Khalsa Singhs' -yes I know who we are, but in a fight, ambush or other attack, no-one gives a damn, it's no-holds bar, not a Karate Competition, Boxing Match or Gatka Khell...so is it not best to be prepared...people will use anything to their advantage and a big beard is open bait (I've seen it happen to other Sardars myself)...

...for the record, I have nothing against tying or leaving it flowing -I do both dependent on t

he Situation and certainly not to impress Girls or Westerners!

This really is a non-issue, get on with your lives...get on with real Sikhi (naam jappo, Vand ke shakko, kirt karo) and not waste time on futile matters...

Sorry, if this offends anyone and given that many are stuck in their view that their version/interpretation of Gurmat is correct, I doubt this will end this topic...so forgive me for my errors, this is the last time I shall be posting for this particular discussion as I have mentioned my point -which Sardar MKhalsa is not comparable to saying a CleanShaved face is presentable (I never stated or alluded to that)...

...everyone is entitled to their own opinion, mine is simply that this is a personal matter and one dependent upon one's situation...and so long as Kesh are maintain and respected (which can be done by caring for them if open or tying them up sensibly so they don't get dirty, burnt, caught up in machinery etc) Maryada is not violated.

MKhalsa, I certainly agree that "a singh with an open dhari which is kept clean and combed etc looks a lot neater than some clean shaven person with little stubble in their face" ...clean shaven folk are scared to grow up and hence shave to 'appear' like children -Sardar Kapur Singh writes extensively on the subject and its origins and popularisation during the reign of Alexander the Great in his book "Parasaraprasna" which I recommend as a great read.

-forever at the feet of the Sangat-

Completely agree, Thats why i have not replied in this topic until now. For me ,there is no difference between tieing a jura on the head and tieing my darhi under the chin in a knot.

It all depends if u know how to tie the darhi properly. Gels don't harm hair, if they did then they wouldn't be on the market.

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
