Vaheguroo Ji Ka Khalsa, Vaheguroo Ji Ki Fateh!

i have a question which i will be greatful if could be answered. i am a practicing sikh and hope to take amrit this year. however i was curious as to what the rehat is about washing hair, as in is ther a specific time you should wash it. i mean i have talked to other gursikhs. they wash there hair everyday in the morning with water and let it dry while they do naam abhiyaas in the morning. however i was wondering if it is compolsary to do that. also i wash my hair once a week and i do it in the evening. is that okay. otr is there a specific time you should wash it.

bhul chuk maaf

It is compulsory to wash the hair every day when you have your Ishnaan in the morning. Most people use just water on a daily basis, and use shampoo every 4+ days. Some people oil their Kesh every day.

Veerji congrats for thinking about taking Amrit :)

As far as my knowledge goes there is no specific time to wash hair (or put otherwise, all times are good to wash hair) . I am not aware if it's compulsory to wash hair every morning. None of the Sikhs I know practice this.

For all those who go to Gurdwara to keep Amritvella , this seems to be a very unfeasible as wearing turban on wet hair is not an option.

The Rehat I was blessed with asks that Kesh is washed everyday, as the post above says. Kesh can then be towel dried and wearing a dastar is no problem.

Our kesh should be washed every 4 days, and dried naturally not using hair dryers and what ever you have now days. Washing hair everyday is not compulsory as far as i know.

Sorry if i made a mistake.

How can your morning Ishnaan be complete without washing your Kesh? Your Kesh is the most important part of your body...it deserves our full respect and care.

I have long hair and I have never had a problem with drying my Kesh in time in the morning...you will only have problems if you wake up late and need to go to school/work etc and thus do not have time in the morning.

Ishnaan is not complete without washing the kesh. Gurmat ishnan is to wash the kesh. The head is the shiromani (most important) part of the head, and without washing the hair the head cannot be washed completely.

Leave the hair open whilst doing simran, they should dry, If they don't then u can always dry them in the day time or if u really need to use a heat source (hair dryer, heater).

If going to the gurdwara at amritvela then tie a thick(er) dastar tight, which should make them dry with the heat.

Use shampoo only once or maybe twice a week. Oil the hair after using shampoo.

Hope this advice is useful.

I would really like to hear people supporting their claims from the article of Sikh Rehat Maryada . . Thank you.

    • 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.
