Hairy Dogs

Sangat jeeo, I have a question that has, umm... dogged my mind.

We look it wrong if a gursikh parent cuts their sons' or daughters' hair. However, many of us have dogs, and we cut their hair without question or reason.

If it is wrong for us to cut our hair, why is it OK to cut theirs?

Any answer would be appreciated! rolleyes.gif

interesting question Khalsa4ever ji...i don't have a dog so i don't know a good answer to your question....

but i'll share this:

on the news the other day they showed a sheep that weighed 60 pounds cuz it hadn't been shaved for a long time. All you could see was a BIG ball of hair/wool/ whats it called. Then they showed a video clip of the sheep after they shaved it....the sheep looked so little and naked :umm:

I'll make my question a little more clearer on my side.

We think its wrong for a Sikh parent to cut their kids' hair

We think its wrong for a Sikh to sell alcohol or cigarettes to others (I mean, its wrong for you to have it... but its OK to give stuff to others so they get Drunk??)

We think its wrong for Sikhs to hold a double-standard... preach one thing and then practice another.

God's hukam is God's hukam. If we are supposed to keep our hair, its not because we're human. Its because Gurujee told us that all creatures of God should keep their hair because God gave it to all of us.

So, assuming that, why do we cut our dogs' hair?

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa!

Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!!

the human body is a specially and incrdible machine, that science has not still been able to find out full capabilities

this body is perfect

our hair is very important

they aid u in ure bhagti

thats one reason y guru je says keep ure natural form

ure hair is not a nusiance, it aids u in reaching vaheguru je, it makes ure bhagti easier

a dog on the other hand,

is not in the state of doing bhagti.

its trapped in the cycle of death and birth

and grass cannot do bhagti either

bhula chuka maf

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa!

Khalistani jee, I disagree with you.

A dog most certainly can do bhagti. Was it Guru Hargobind Sahib Jee who shot and killed a rabbit with an arrow to free its soul to join Waheguru?

If the hairs on a human being can make us a superior human, then what right do we have to make our dog inferior?

In my humble opinion, any creature with a nervous system has the ability to make choices in their life. Those choices may be more limited in a dog or a cow, but they are there. It is these choices that give karma to a soul... regardless of what species you inhabit. There is no doubt that the largest amount does come from our human form... but take a look at any animal carefully... they have a soul too... they may either be gentle or vicious. And they are part of Waheguru's kingdom.

    • 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.
