Beard - Explanation From 2Nd Jathedar Hazur Sahib


Recommended Posts

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.

    • 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.
