Stop giving stupid reasons on Why we don't cut Hair.

When someone asks why Sikhs don't cut their hair, most people on the internet and in real life try to be oversmart and end up giving stupid reasons.

Like "hair is a gift from god and we honor that" or "it makes us stand out"  or "we maintain the form that god gave us" . Even if these answers are partially true, these are not the reason we keep our hair. So why do we keep our hair? Because the Guru said so. Simple as that. [ Sikh - student (of the Guru) ]

So when someone asks you, Why do you not cut your hair? Answer, because My Guru said so.

And if we cut our hair are we no longer Sikh? Are people with Kesh and dhari better then someone like a buddist monk who shaves his head? Or anyone that shaves his head for that matter. 

Also reminds of of this annoying kid. Who wore a parka. He used to go around saying to people. 'Are you a true Sikh'?

When he himself engaged in all kinds of bad behaviours but thought he was saint because he wore the turban.

I agree    some sikhs also try to find scientific justifications   which I find really silly          

Keeping hair and dhari is a hukham   simple as

well said, it's a hukam simple as. 

But to be fair, there are probably spiritual reasons for letting hair grow to it's full length, even probably physical benefits.. but as sikhs we should just follow Guru's Hukam.

devte and rishis etc grew their hair out. The vedas were written by the rishis who received them through meditation. 

Buddhists shave it because for them it represents  attachment to the world. 

In some indian religions hair is associated with beauty and attachment so they shave them off    which symbolizes them leaving the materialistic world behind.  It's the reason why north indian women traditionally cover their heads when doing pooja or going mandir  because for them hair represents beauty (ego)  so they cover it.

Different schools of thought in india have had various beliefs when it comes to hair.

In judaism Samsons mother was told not to ever cut his hair. 

We have been given the hukham to keep it.

    • 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.
