Good video, from a non-gurbani perspective, cutting nails is equivalent to combing your hair, both remove dead parts. If you were to try and remove the living part of the nail you would experience serious pain.
Good point. Just to add to that, if we think about before humans evolved society and paper-pushing jobs, back in the days when cavemen would go out and hunt, their nails wouldn't grow beyond a particular length, they'd constantly be worn down by all the physical labour. It's only now that we don't do that kinda stuff anymore that we need to cut our nails.
Dukhi Aatma but u don’t feel pain when u shave or cut hair with sisor
@@redfernplaya5603 do explain why people bother to remove facial hair, body hair and if you really think that it isn't painful, time consuming and hella costly for one. Cutting your hair makes no sense, it's there for a reason.
@@redfernplaya5603 you are stupid
@@redfernplaya5603 kes are alive but nails are dead. Dead Kes also get wiped off with comb sikhs do at leat twice a day🙏🏻
May Guru sahib ji forgive me if i am wrong, but one reason why Guru ji wants us to have kesh could be because as Guru Gobind Singh ji created Khalsa as an army, so if we have kesh, we need to keep em in an orderly way and thus need a turban. And having a turban made us easy to spot as a soldier of Guru Sahib's army so that people would always know whom to turn to when in trouble, which in the first place was the reason for creating Khalsa. Waheguru.
A better more acceptable explanation
I agree that's why we wear a turban probably but keep our hair might be different
Please do not think only kes and sikhi has relations I know you are born in sikh family and have been always taugh "guru's sikh keep it" but fact is even before sikhi being formally introduced there have always been value of kase. Talk about islam or any abrahmic religion prophets used to have kes and never used bladez or any trimmer cos they know power of case, and you must have seen many religious Hindu rishi munis and babas still they have kes, and even before khalsa during time of guru nanak dev ji mahalla 1st baba nanak used to suggest not cutting hair to mardana too. There is a big history n reason of hair it never just came from sikhi but sikhi taught the real essence and strongly filled the logics into humans about keeping kase but many people like us do not actually understand and are just aware about KHALSA and warrior ship, please do not confine khalsa in just being a soldier, war and battle is a rare case but in day to day life kes and tying turban is essential and turban too as you say is to keep kes appropriately yes turban has just this work majorly but again it has bren from a long time befire sikhi, hindus have pagri, muslim have turbans, covering head has been crucial from ages, coming back to case Shri Ram, shiva and krishna all had jida and kes even krishan ji's has one of his names "keshav" so bro just a way to recognise a soldies is not the foremost reason, turban no doubt used to help but that is very later benefit and not a prime reason of having kes. Kes came first khalsa formally came later just like guru nanak dev ji came first and khalsa came later formally though all pure natural souls connected with devine and armed are khalsa regardless of there relegion. 🙏🏻
@@sajjadshah7974 not at all, if religious things were so simple everyone would have become relegious, and what you are understanding is not dharma it is just a life style or deen attribute with do and don't. Dharma or real religion has a lot more deepness even I don't know much but this is what a few reasons behind keeping hair "Please do not think only kes and sikhi has relations, sikhs have always been taugh "guru's sikh keep it" but fact is even before sikhi being formally introduced, there have always been value of kase (hair).

@@perivibesvlogs224 I agree I dont think he ment it in a bad way I think he was just giving a valid reason than somone asked
For anyone wondering, this is only one explanation. I think they should remove this video and create another one with the other several points on why you shouldn't cut hair in Sikhism.
For those that ask why do we need to keep our hair, simple answer is our guru told us too. for sikhs our gurus were perfect and anything they asked us to do, we did. Guru Gobind Singh ji made the Khalsa and gave us a rehat to follow. If you want to be a sikh, listen and accept your gurus will. Simple
Absolutely Right!!
+harveen singh Kalra guru nanak dev ji came in 10 living forms and currently resides in the 11th form that is sri guru granth sahib ji. The bani inside sri guru granth sahib ji is from guru nanak dev ji
Watch this. Guru gobind singh jis is guru nanak in the 10th form. There is no difference.
Read this bani and understand it. Our guru not only told us but showed us how to live.
Nishaan sikhi ee panj harf ast kaaf
-These 5 K's are the mark of sikhi
Hargiz na baasd ee panj muaaf
-It is unforgivable to remove these from the body
Karaa kaardo kach kange bidhaa
-Kara kirpan kashera kangha recognise these as four of them
Billa kes hech ast jumle nisaa
-The fifth is kesh, without which the pther four are useless.
That is Sri Guru Gobind Singh jis bani
+harveen singh Kalra did you read all of my reply bruv? I gave you a ang of bani. Also ithaas is very important. Waheguru is timeless. What bani that was spoken in the past is now forever in the future as it resides in sri guru granth sahib ji. Also without all 5 K's present on you at all times, you cannot take amrit. And actually it is not just sri guru granth sahib thathas authority, the panj pyare and the khalsa panth also carry authority
+harveen singh Kalra here are some more angs from sggs ji regarding kes
ਸੋਹਣੇ ਨਕ ਜਿਨ ਲੰਮੜੇ ਵਾਲਾ ||
Your nose is so graceful, and your hair is so long.
(Guru Granth Sahib, ang 567)
ਨਾਪਾਕ ਪਾਕੁ ਕਰਿ ਹਦੂਰਿ ਹਦੀਸਾ ਸਾਬਤ ਸੂਰਤਿ ਦਸਤਾਰ ਸਿਰਾ ||੧੨||
Purify what is impure, and let the Lord’s presence be your religious tradition. Let your total awareness be the turban on your head. ||12|| (Guru Granth Sahib, page 1084)
ਦਿਵਸ ਰੈਨਿ ਤੇਰੇ ਪਾਉ ਪਲੋਸਉ ਕੇਸ ਚਵਰ ਕਰਿ ਫੇਰੀ ||੧|| (੯੬੯-੧੯, ਰਾਮਕਲੀ, ਭਗਤ ਕਬੀਰ ਜੀ)
Day and night, I press Your feet, Lord; I wave my hair as the chanwar (ceremonial fan). (Guru Granth Sahib, page 969)
ਸੇ ਦਾੜੀਆਂ ਸਚੀਆ ਜਿ ਗੁਰ ਚਰਨੀ ਲਗੰਨਿ੍ਹ || (੧੪੧੯-੧੨, ਸਲੋਕ ਵਾਰਾਂ ਤੇ ਵਧੀਕ, ਮਃ ੩)
Those beards are true, which brush the feet of the True Guru. (Guru Granth Sahib, page 1419)
+harveen singh Kalra its mentioned all the time, maharaj says continuously to not change or alter your appearance, they say not to remove any kes from your body. Its all written in sri guru granth sahib ji and also reiterated throughout history and to present day. Sri guru granth sahib ji is not a book of commandments saying you can and cannot do this. If you want that look at guru gobind singh jis 52 hukams, its written their too. Remember what ever is said by guru sahibs is bani, like you said, bani he guru, guru he bani. What you seek is right infront of you. It is ithaas of our gurus that we learn how to put the bani into practice in our daily lives as gursikhs
Beautifully articulated. Dhan Guru Nanak.
My brother is a cut surd. He is in his youth, therefore his current hair colour is black. I am not questioning your take, but i am pretty sure that even though his hair is short, it will turn white when he gets older. Which means, it is still communicating and still divine even though its cut.
agreed!
yes, which is Waheguru telling him that he is getting closer to death
I am Sikh but I cut my hair around my body, But I have huge respect to those who keep their hair and died for their hair. I sometimes cover my hair with a long cloth/bandana, but also in the night sometimes.
Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa ❤
Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh 💕
I learnt alot after listening to parchars from basic of sikhi. Thankss
I would just like to say, I'm a Sikh. When the teacher guides us through the question, he says that our hair talks to us. This is both metaphorical and true. It is just a sign from waheguru that death is Approaching us. Which is unrefutable.
Umm the only part of hair that is "alive" is the roots. Where it is actually connected to your head....
Ummm remove yourself from this channel. If you question Guru jis roop, you have no business here
haaa i'll go where i want to.
+Ravnit Kaur Cool.
Its not about dead or alive! If you want answer of intellect, then let me tell you, hair protect aura, which is in layman sense you can say is your magnetic field, humans are magnetic being, Remember those big circles around head of spiritual people?
secondly hair not on electrical insulator, they are thermal insulator barrier, stroke is less likely with moisture entrapped, a function accentuated by turban! Guruji was and is anyday intellectually smarter than miniscule intellect of common masses! None of dharam gurus of any religion had cut their scalp hair! You remember the biblical story of samson, whose spiritual power lay in his hair, thats because hair protected his aura! Yes you can cut your hair as long you have not truly grasped the significance of it, but fastest way to wisdom is honesty and humbleness! Your surety in your argument shows serious lack of humbleness! A humble person is always filled with doubt
It takes certain amount of closeness to soul to understand what this man is saying! He is 100% right! People overattatched to senses can never understand what he is saying! Eyes, nose, ear, skin and tongue explain less than even 1% of human persona!
I'm trying to be vegetarian and not drinking alchol to marry my partner who is Sikh. But actually for me not cutting my hair is the most difficult thing to understand.
Especially armpits and pubic . It’s unhygienic not to shave that hair
@@sajjadshah7974 so, that means male who has armpit or pubic hair is not hygienic??
@@sajjadshah7974 it's definitely unhygienic if a person doesn't shower daily but it is mandatory for sikhs to shower daily ,(kesi ishnaan ideally)and wear loose cotton boxer shorts as an underwear for both men and women which is to be changed daily (sidenote tight fitting underwears have been proven to reduce the sperm qualityin males and increased risk of vaginal infections in females). pubic and armpit hair serve a purpose as well by preventing friction ( especially armpit hair) ,pubic hair protects the delicate skin around the genitals. Excessive grooming in these regions has been proven to increase the incidence of viral stds ( due to micro cuts in the skin caused by shaving) plus the additional risks of ingrown hairs and furunculosis. Plus Non baptized sikhs ( sehajdharis ) do cut their hair it's just you do you . Having seen your comments all over the place I would say the video doesn't provide a good explanation ,hair especially hair at the top of your head( kes )is considered to be spiritual so drawing comparison with nails is just pointless
@@sajjadshah7974 what can I expect from follower of rapist of 9 yr old girl 🤣🤣
@@sajjadshah7974 comptley inccorect pubic hair prevents friction when u cut the root you can be more prone to viruses and rashes science 🧪 also Sajjad don’t come here to hate please just go pray at your place of worship in peace ✌️
He is also an insulator. That is a valid argument. Nails don't really do much in terms of length.
I love this Bhai Saab, mwah! mwah! :3 :3
giani sant singh ji maskeen gives a good reason for why we have kesh.
Kesh te Dastar - Giani Sant Singh Ji Maskeen - 01/04
The video is showing unavailable.
So just to clarify, the official take on why sikhs don't cut their hair is because it is considered alive whereas nails may be cut because it's considered dead and therefore amenable to removal?
It's not 'the official take', it's his explanation, other schools of thoughts have different explanations. But we all agree that hair is holy and spiritual, and a divine gift from god.
another reason which we have to cut our nails, I shall ask a a question then I answer my question from which you will receive your answer about cutting nails.
what forms or wastage from our bodies?
ears, nose, mouth, eyes, privates, and body.... and nails.
if you ever notice the colour of the waste which comes from your body is on a greenish/yellowish colour.
which leads me to say it's off a similar colour to your nails. so nails are a form of wastage hope this makes sense.
Good job Bhai 🙏 Baljit Singh ji, waheguru ji bless you every happy moment with Naam-Daan,Sikhi-Siddak
it was my doubt from many many years and i didnt get answer but wow basics of sikhi . you cleared my years long doubt in 5 mints.
Satnam Vaheguru Ji 🙏🏻👳🏻♂️
Buddy ur to deep into the question...
Let me tell you one this i live in Australia in 15 and at this time as you should know i am in high school and science teaches me that just like hair nails are dead as well. The nails grow and hair does two, does it hurt when you cut dead nails? No
Does it hurt when you cut your hair of course i haven't experienced it my self but i know it doesn't hurt......
when nails get pulled it hurts when hair get pulled it hurts... its only in the roots bro nothing more grow it or cut it your hair is there !!!!!!!!!!
CAN YOU DO THIS? The hair have other evolutionary roles. I’ll explain the biological ones- 1.Large beards make the face seem bigger, which helps in attracting a mating and show of strength/virility.
2. Thermal regulation- hair protect from hot and cold and are analogous to natural protection through furs to various animals. Since humans have evolved clothing, bodily hair have reduced while head hair and facial hair have survived considerable lengths for the thermal function served
3. moustaches and beards significantly protect dust in breath and serves as a natural filter
4. When it’s cold outside, body follicles make the hairs stand up and allows for trapping of warm air between them, commonly observed in winters.
5. It is a secondary sexual character trait.
6. Pubic hair prevent Sexually transmitted diseases and infections. They prevent abrasions to the sensitive skin of the genitalia.
Social functions- (not physiological but socio cultural)
1. Sign of respect and well being even today (baldness is quite a taboo globally and treating it is quite a thriving business)
2. Sign of aristocracy and wisdom
(Most ancient philosophers)
3. Sign of maturity and development
The pain logic does not apply here. Teeth are dead too and by your logic, and unless ripped apart interfering with them causes no pain, so I don’t see people grinding their teeth to the gum and leaving the roots intact after all they aren’t using their canines to bite through raw meats and veggies nowadays.
Similarly epidermal cells on the skin are dead tissue but plays a fundamental role in protection of the body from pathogens, abrasions, infections and absorption of calciferol and Vitamin D synthesis.
It’s not true that whatever is dead or non respirating is useless, that’s pseudoscience. Pain factor doesn’t account physiological utility to the whole organism who is dynamic.
Sikhs keep hair not for physiological reasons as those are secular reasons. Sikhs keep them to remember the will of nature and being in conformity with the will of nature or God, and their unique cultural heritage as the Khalsa. Hair remind us to be contented in life.
plz plz plz make videos in punjabi ..bcoz we cant understand clearly most of the part
we don't cut hairs because it's our gurus "hukam"..cutting nails is not restricted in Sikhism..
Gippy Sharma it’s not tho. Its an identity thing in my opinion
You don't really believe these unscientific superstitions (our hair is communicating to us), do you?
it is scientific my friend infact sikhi is youngest religion and only religion in world which actually tells things that have deep explanation and reasoning behind everything , according to science long hair boost your parietal lobes in brain which in sikhi also called dasam dwar or 10th gate or 10th sense , which help you to meditate and focus
+Dale D. religion is separate to science and cant always validate through it
Dale D. It is true
Can someone explain abt removal of facial hair for girls
Waheguru g ka khalsa Waheguru g ki fateh
Can you upload that Waheguru simran that one always came before your videos ?
nails talk to us too, if we are irondeficient etc. skin also, with wrinkles...
100% right
The whole body has mechanism to tell us look even ur eyes, tongue, and skin
Please tell the full link of starting shabad
Please speak in punjabi for our better knowledge. For this topic. Please it's very important for me and other people's and sikhs
Your punjabs have enough kathas. We lost english speakers need this more.

OK this is not a good explanation for kids... good philosophy but I need a kiddie friendly version that they can explain to non Sikhs... im talking 5 to 7 year olds...
correct
If anyone wants to know the real reason behind why sikhism emphasises upon keeping hair
Then one can search
Sant kesh kyu rakhte hain by baba ji vijay vats
He is the true enlightened person present on earth at this time
Has not stepped out of his room from last 12 years and drinking two glasses milk
Has no money
His child sells mithai dabbe as living
Lives in a 10 by 10 room
Those who are thirsty must listen to him
The way he has explained japji sahib
No one has ever done it
Those who don’t find him good
I bow down at your feet for forgiveness and wasting your precious time

wow
can you please do a video on weather Sikhs are allowed to have sex before marriage?
Chandnii Arora The answer is no. Sex is only for within marriage.
Chandni arora,what people consider marriage,is actually social marriage.
Marriages of soul is the real marriage.And you are married from soul when you are in love with the person.Sex as expression of love is never unpious,never unspiritual,otherwise krishna would have been biggest spiritually corrupt person,but he was not!Casual sex is unspiritual as it appeases senses,not soul!By discouraging sex before social marriage as a general rule, even to spiritually evolved people,guru nanak was basically teaching humbleness and consideration about not so evolved people who would otherwise get lost in pleasure of senses,not understanding the meaning and importance of soulful sex and thus create tumult in society.Guru nanak was always about collective upliftment of society and this kalyugi society is so attatched to senses and very disconnected from soul to understand highest behaviours so fast!So he had to descend to a level where people can comprehend,society can comprehend!The society of krishnas time,whether real or mythical doesnt matter,was very spiritually evolved!So people could still understand his behaviour!But this kalyugi society will collapse if that kind of behaviour was allowed now!I personally would say sex in love shouldnt be dependent on custom of social marriage and now that people well understand the consequences of sex and have devised their own methods to minimise the harm rather than trying to evolve,
I think your staying considerate for them is not meaningful anymore and no longer an effective sacrifice!Sex should be love,bliss,not pleasure!
Hey, you can do as much sex as you want to do, marriage is only a social condition, it has no existential truth
+Chandnii Arora no they are not allowed
+Manroop narwal Sikhs are not allowed sex before marriage
Everyone knows that but that’s no justification or proof to say hair talks to us ?
Old age has more than just white hair as a sign .
I don’t buy this explanation for hair
Agreed lol. There's no good justification in reality
Simple explanation. God gave us hair and it has a purpose, nose hairs, eyelashes, Facial hair, etc, the hair catches dust, dirt before it can go inside ur body.
2- Let go of your ego…. EGO is one of the biggest problems people don’t realize they have. Sikhs shouldn’t be standing in front of a mirror for a hour trying to lineup your beard or shave your legs, live in your natural state, god creates u as.
3 - simple living. A Sikhs living style should be very simple and meaningful. It’s not about growing hair, it’s more about leaving it untouched. When every sikh sits down on the floor, they have the same look, they’re inner Ego to look better then their peers goes away
From the beginning it’s never been about “Growing” long hair. It’s just about leaving it untouched. Brings a simplicity to everyone life. It’s Brings ONENESS AND levels the community, to not give any thoughts to somebody’s Appearance
Can someone explain me in Punjabi pls 🙏
panjabi ch batao
there is a hidden (secret) behind khalsa roop, clearly written in khalsa mahima. stop nonsense illogical talk!
Can u tell me
pankabi ch
You totally missed Guru Nanak’s point. What a shame
explain it yourself then
I know one similarity that they both grow.
Do we need our hair to change color to remind us that we are old? In today's society a 7 year old can tell us their age, so can a 77 year old. People know that they are old when they get wrinkles, get tired, when they pass blood in their pee,.
You quote Bani and in my view you can only justify keeping your hair using Bani, a book, words written by people, you can't justify it using nature. If you believe god made man, then you must believe god gave us hands, god gave us the ability to pick up some scissors to trim our beards and hair. I don't need bani to tell me things about the world which are plain and obvious
Also do you know for a fact Kabir wrote this to promote the view that we should KEEP our hair? is it not just a nice poetic analogy about getting old. I have hair all over my body which can change color, why do i need to keep it on my face and my head in order to see it change color?
no wonder you have no knowledge then , explain me one thing why Jesus , Moses , Buddha , mohammad had long hair you want answer
www.rense.com/general95/hair.htm
and white tells u r aged this poetic effect whole bani is like a poem , if you really wanna related this particular lines to modern poetry it will be William Shakespeare 7 stages of life
Agree with notasikh notas. Why do we need hair to tell us we are getting old? There are so many signs of aging such as memory, eyesight, hearing, strength and one of the most obvious signs is the skin. This is a poor argument IMO. By this logic, we shouldn't wear eye glasses because our body wouldn't be able to 'communicate' with us that we are getting old.
Hair is not not entirely 'living' or 'dead'. The only part of hair that exhibits biochemical activity or in other words is 'living' is the follicle. The follicle resides in the dermal layer of the skin. The shafts we see are 'dead'. So if someone is to shave, they are removing the dead parts, just as if someone were clipping nails. No difference.
There may be stronger arguments out there but this is just a tenet of one faith. If your looking to be a good human being, you can do so and still cut your hair.
u tell us what u r doing.. go and meditate. why u people r teaching something whose experience you yourself do not have. Your knowledge may b right but action is nothing
Dude, you seriously need to take some science classes, so then you'll realize that science explains stuff far far better than ancient prophets/gurus ever have.
+Dale D.
You should read Japji Sahib. Towards the end, Guru talks about the universe and other beings of his creation (Aliens). So what science talked about this, 500 hundred years ago?
guru bani is something that is even researched by NASA , 500 years ago first word of bani guru ji wrote was ikonkar which translations one bang created everything , it also says lakh akasa akas which its not world there many worlds in this universe and its that time when people used to think earth is flat and sun revolves around earth
You are just trying to interpret your religion as per current day science.
dude our religion is younger than modern day science started 350 years ago
Gagan Gill Dude science is there since man started thinking.
