Reasons that allot of sikhs give for not cutting hair is due to we are abiding law of nature and that even if we cut hair , god wil continue giving this to us.

 

My question is what about Grass. Even grass keeps coming if we cut it. Why do Sikhs cut grass in their gardens. shouldn't we let it grow and abide law of nature?

I was waiting for a long time for some lummox to pose this question. First of all, grass is not human, nor it’s a Sikh. It’s grass and that is all it is and that is all it will ever remain!  Are you clear on this?  Why don’t sikhs cut their hair? The answer is in the teachings of their Gurus. Sikhs were told not to ever cut their hair by their Gurus not ONLY to obey the law of God but ALSO to obey the law of Sikhi as taught by the Gurus. It’s a their command not to cut our hair or shave our beards. If Sikhs can obey the Gurus hukam on Guru Maniyo Granth why can’t they obey a simple command of never cut your hair? No Sikh can pick and choose which hukams to obey and which ones not to obey as Sikhs! You either obey all their hukams and call yourself a Sikh or don’t obey any or even one and not call yourself a Sikh. Even if you decide to disobey even one of Gurus’ hukams you are NOT a Sikh! End of story!

Every single thing god made had purpose

Did you ever do science bro? Grass is part of a food chain. Cows eat grass and produce milk.

You even know what a cow is? Most people think milk comes from a supermarket

No, it isn’t! Grass cleanses our environment and water gives life to the His creation! Besides, there is plenty more where all this comes from ie His Bhandaar is abundant, there is no shortage of anything in His supplies!

Sikhi "code of conduct" obey guru's hukam "not cutting any hair'.

there are many reason to it as well (keeping it natural, or part of our rehat maryada being a Sikh or many scientific reasons.) we can use any which ever suits us the best.. but the bottom line is "Obey Guru's Hukam"

Grass does not help in anything but responsible for vast water shortage in Western United States. Google it Guest Really/Guest Curry-house.

So do edible and medicinal plants instead of showering decorative pesticide covered spikes with a precious resource just so you can look like the Jones.

    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
    • Wasn't Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom on amd always commemorated on 6th June? How come it was 30th May?  Just like 6th June 84, where the likes of Terrorists like Indira Gandhi chose to attack Darbar Sahib where many many innocent Sikhs would suffer, as they went to commemorate Martyrdom of Maharaj. 
    • best thing is to follow the Sikh Rehat Maryada and use common sense for gray areas. Anything outside of that's irrelevant tbh that code is what Guru Gobind Singh Ji and the 5 Pyaare agreed on when creating Amrit in 1699
