Observation..

I have observed that sikhs in india are going away from sikhism whereas sikhs in western countries are moving close to the principles of sikhism. The majority of sikh youth in india cuts hair, knows nothing of sikh history. I am from Jammu region of India, though sikhs in this region may not be Gursikh internally, but they have kept their physical aspect of sikhism intact. In bangalore,India, I have observed many sikhs from punjab have cut their beard but still wear turban. There is no doubt they are full of love for Guruji, I can see that when they come to Gurudwara. so, I was thinking.... is that the youth in punjab does not know about the importance of hair as one kakkar in sikhi, are they not aware of sikh history....? ???
Why things have gone wrong in punjab.... on punjabi channels, you can see most of sikhs with beard cut....
I dont have answers to these questions.

Veer Ji, Kesh are not a kakkar. The kakkar is infact KesKi. Guru Kirpa.

No offence Gurbakash Kaur ji, I always thought and actually was brought by reading that the Kesh is one of the kakkars. The turban (keski) is to protect the kesh, or in battle fields it protected the head. Keski has a lot of other significances as well, i.e it represents the crown, it's a Sikh's pride. The punj kakkar are indeed, Kesh, Kanga, Kara, Kach, and Kirpan. Keski, is also important, but it's not a Kakkar. The Rehat Mardya that was incorporated by Baba Banda Singh Bhadur as well as Baba Deep Singh ji clearly states Kesh not Keski as a Kakkar.

Hello there, just wanted to add one more thing. Gurbaksh Kaur ji, I did visit the Tapoban.org. They never said Kesh are not kakkar... one of the Scholars claimed that Keski is Kakkar but not Kanga (the wooden comb).

"Bhai Randhir Singh and his admirers claim and assert that five K's obligatory for an Amritdhari Sikh, a Singh, include a Keski, i.e., a short turban for men and women, as a must and one of the other K's, Kangha (comb) is not one of the five Do's." (Tapoban, 2005)

There is nothing about Kesh sister. Kesh is very important to a Sikh, Bhai Taru Singh agreed to take off his skull but not kesh, and today we don;t even have to be asked, we just sit infront of barbar and shave away our Sikh identity....

If I have said any harsh words or hurt anyone, please forgive me, as I just wanted to put a point across.

Best Wishes
Satwindar Singh

P.S; Tejinder Singh ji, always stay in Chardi Kala and may waheguru bless you.

Satwinder Singh Ji and Gurbash kaur ji, thanks for your comments.
But, I do agree with satwinder Singh ji, that Kesh is a kakkar. If kesh is not a kakkar, one may cut them. So, one who has cut hair will never wear turban. If kesh is one of the kakkars, then one has to keep a keski to protect them.

Follow your heart and mind. If inner voice tells you to grow kesh do it, but most important is please do educate yourself about Sikhism. Problem with a lot of Punjabis is that they shave or wear a turban, but have no clue about Sikhi

Gurfatehji

Glad to read your post on how you wish to come close to Waheguruji. It definetly means HE has been kind on you and so this thought came to your mind.
About the thousands of Sikhs who are cutting their kes I can only feel sorry as they dont know what a gift this is from Guru Gobind Singh Ji to the Khalsa panth!You'll surely get answer to all your questions.Keep going

God bless
