Top Ten Reasons To Keep Your Kesh

1) Guru Ji Said to Keep long Hair; It’s one of the Five Articles of Faith

http://dailysikhupdates.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/khalsameroroophaikhas.png

2) Kesh Forms identity for Sikhs

3) Natural Gift of God. Kesh indicates a Sikhs acceptance of God’s will.

4) “Hair of the head is a symbol of faith, intuition of truth, or the highest qualities of the mind.” G. A. Gaskell

5) Truth “Hair is prayer and kesh acts as a subtle spiritual antenna. One who keeps kesh intact, practices meditation and achieves humility comes to know the benefit of kesh which can never be realize if hair is severed,” (Khalsa, Sukhmandir)

6) Establishes a complete and natural person.

7) Sikh Sovereignty. Sikhs Don’t follow fashionbable Trends. Long Hair indicates freedom from socially deemed fasionable Trends.

8) Keeping kesh builds self-esteem, in another point of view. Keeping hair intact allows one to experience courage, conquer fear, and realize unconditional love, (Khalsa, Sukhmandir).

9) Builds Discpline, Personal discipline is central to Sikhi and some feel that keeping long hair, combing it every day and washing it, develops disciplines, (Singh, Gurdev).

10) Long Hair Provides Essential Vitamins to the Brain.

Namdev n Kabir n Ravidas never needed that spiritual antenna.
U don't mean to say that they lacked faith, intuition of truth, or d high qualities of d mind??

Guru Nanak, not once did he say dat this was important. It was only d final living Guru
who insisted on this principle. But he too never mentioned any one of d ten reasons
provided here.. Some body made that all up.

N if it's Gods gift, why hide it under a turban??
Why not let it loose, n let it symbolse freedom..??

N whats wid dat essential vitamins think??
Can U pls elaborate on that??

N what abt SGGS?
Kabir preet ik se kiyo aan dudhiya jaaee
bhave lambe kesh marai bhave tu gharari mundayee
what abt that??

MSG 2 :
Guru Gobind Singh ws a religious leader bt he ws also a general. His 5 K's idea seems like a war strategy to
me and he is not the only one to do such things. For example, in China during the Three Kingdoms period
(2nd and 3rd century AD) there was a movement called the Yellow Turban Rebellion. It's self explanatory.

My point is that wearing turbans on the head is an obvious way to instill a sense of brotherhood amongst the
members and help to boost morale. The Guru gave these religious reasons but it's clear that the principles he
invented such as never cutting the hair and keeping a sword always at one's waist were motivated by the times
Therefore do they really have any place in today's society? It is absurd wearing a sword at your waist today.

The weapon has become obsolete. Most practicing sikhs do not carry a sword, they simply keep their hair long.
What's the point in doing one without the other? The truth is I think some Sikh parents force their children into
keeping their hair long. They don't give their children enough freedom. Hence the reason for so many male sikhs
with a turban and without facial hair. The times have changed now. It is not weak for us to change with them.
