There was one guy in my class at university some years ago, who was like this; full turban, and trimmed beard. Eventually I got a chance to introduce myself, and I didn't even have to ask why he didn't keep his beard. He started telling me himself (probably out of shame or because he felt self-conscious about it).

His reason was, that his family is religious, but he is not. He was taught never to cut his hair (head hair), and to always cover it. So, it became a ritual type thing for him. As for the beard, his perception was that keeping beard is a "fanatical" or "orthodox" sikh thing to do, but to him Keeping hair, meant head hair only.

I think, a big issue comes from... Parents and families and communities who are pressuring their kids and youth to KEEP HEAD HAIR... (especially if your family is amritdhari, or more religious)... for the sake of family honour, or "what will the others say"... but the youth themselves don't know what sikhi is about, and don't believe in Sikhi. BUT, We can't force people to believe, and we can't force people to get educated about their born-into faith.

It's not that these people are "bad"... it's just that they don't believe... and are just trying to compromise between pleasing others and pleasing other others. So, they keep their head hair, and cut their beards thinking "if i ever decide to be gurmukh I can just grow my beard back easily, no biggie".

The solution? Pray for them, and if you are in "high spirits" of sikhi, inspire others... ignite that flame inside of them too... don't just diss them and stay away from them... it's company of chardi kala ppl that they need the most... got it?

omg everything you said was true and wen i USED to trim my beard.......i did it because other singhs were doin it and thought it was normal............the only person who used to tell me it was wrong was ma headstrong cousin and she used to tell me that you will look like a man when you keep your beard LOL went on a few years like that lol but eventually her message sank in and i started thinking why keep hair on head if you trim your beard so after that i started to keep ma beard :D what these singhs need is some guidance or advice or a good kick up the arse in some cases (like mine LOL)

this is weird BUT at this years vaisaki in the Gurdwara near green street i was the only guy there with full beard!!!!!all the singhs had trim beards i was like wat the hell is goin one here on vaisaki of all occasions but seriously somtin needs to be done..............A lion without his mane is a sorry sight indeed.

Most of Sikhs in Punjab are sikhs with turban and with cut beard.

90 % turbon sikhs in Punjab trim there beards.

It is strange but true. :D

I find a guy who says that cutting beard is sin so he was used to burn it with candle. :D

A sikh is one who do not cut his hairs and recite bani daily. :)

being a Sikh isnt easy nor is being a Khalsa. Nothing in life worth doing is easy.

Love bringing people into Sikhi will outlast anything else. we need to focus parchaar specifically on groups of sikhs to wake us all up into seeing how beautiful our Guru is and how lucky we are!!

:WW: I second that!!!!!!!!

If there is one thing I've learned so far, it's that without love we ain't got nothing. If Love ignites in our own hearts, it spreads like a wildfire. And when that happens, there's no more questions, and insecurities, and trying to fit in (on both sides), no more obstacles... Love is the way... we play the game of love... and with love we give our heads. And with love, we obey our Guru. When love pervades our soul, we will realize that each existing thing, including each hair follicle, each atom, each star in the sky... is in God's image and will. And we will smile, and enjoy it, and be dazed in love... love... love...

The moment we spread LOVE, Parchaar in Sikhi, the moment you gonna see tons of Sikhs spouting from everywhere, with their full beards, and long hair, and shining eyes, and beautiful hearts. They'll be saying Waheguru everywhere, drenched in love. LOVE is the soil and the water, and the warmth, and the fertilizer, that allows the seed of faith and rememberance, and devotion to grow.

so, sorry bout the rant... but yeah

    • 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?
