Beard - Explanation From 2Nd Jathedar Hazur Sahib

[BarinderSingh]

it seems so called apne are more against a full flowing beard than people of other communities, i have had many white/ english people pay me some fantastic complements about my beard words like.

1 That's what you call a beard.

2 your beard looks like a lions mane.

if someone chooses to tie his beard then fine lets not fight amongst ourselves, but keeping your beard parkash is the correct maryada and it looks much better anyway.

Looking for others approval has got Sikhs stuck in a deep hole in the first place.

Im not for tying a beard like I.J. Singh who has no reason to do it but still does. But when it comes to task that may put the beard on fire or at risk of getting caught, it is better to take it out of the way.

It Is not a case of looking for approval, neither do we or should we need anyone's approval or care for anyone's disapproval our father Guru Kalgidhar pita has given us our identity and his approval that's all we need. i mentioned other communities because more and more people in our community seem to be against or even find it a burden to have a long beard.

if there is a risk of injury for example operating machinery like a lathe, risk of catching on fire etc then obviously appropriate measures should be taken and you are quite right, but if there is no danger then why go against the maryada and tie it for example in one works in an office the what possible danger could their be.

this is a tedious debate and does nothing for our panths unity, tied or parkash as long as the kesh are not cut i see no reason for us to be disturbed by this.

And the so called called Sikhs are not much or at all concerned about the increasing patitpuna amongst our younger generation.

We should discuss this in a new thread.
