The deny evolution According to Sikh Rehat Maryada, cutting any type of hair ( kesha Roma di beadabi) is forbidden and Sik doing so will be considered "Patit". Patit is a term which refers to a person who has been initiated into the Sikh religion, but violates the religion's precepts (a blasphemer, a heretic). Why do Sikhs keep long, un-cut hair? Kesh, or uncut hair, is considered to be an essential part of Sikhi. In Sikhism, Kesh (sometimes Kes) is the practice of allowing one’s hair to grow naturally as a symbol of respect for the perfection of God's creation. The practice is one of the Five Ks, the outward symbols ordered by Guru Gobind Singh in 1699 as a means to profess the Sikh faith. The hair is combed twice daily with a Kanga, another of the Five Ks, and tied into a simple knot known as a Joora or Rishi knot. This knot of hair is usually held in place with the Kanga and covered by a turban. |
