The whole process of curling takes about 2-3 hours. But once it is done you dont have to worry about 2-3 months. Then you just have to comb your beard and tie a cloth (thata) for few minutes to get it set or alternatively, if you are in very hurry then you can hair drier your beard over the thata and in 2 minutes it will be all set..... Really hard to maintain sikhism in foreign countries.... Don't feel dejected......but get ready to face lots of problems (discrimination for good jobs, marraiges etc etc) associated with maintaining sikh image....anyway

:umm: :D :( :wub: :D

why would you curl your beard???????? that is the dumbest thing i

have heard besides gelling your beard. why waste so much time in doing that? and i have never heard of anyone drying their beard with a hair dryer.....

if your a real sikh you wouldn't curl your beard right? :T:

does anyone here curl their beard? :T:

hehe...i knew a singh who used to curl his beard...

it was soo funny...cuz i always thought it was natural and was mesmerized by the way it looked....

but then i saw his drivers' license and it wasn't a curly beard...so then i got suspicious...

and then one time i went to his house and it was evening time and the bro had curlers in his beard....

i laughed so hard...i think i may have busted a gut...hehe........

oh well....to each his own...... i don't see anything "wrong" with it...but it's just soooooo freaking funnny....

i wish more people curled their beards....i'd be laughing 24/7....truly entertaining stuff.....

theresbeen a lot of debate about this on akj.org...

one post that stands out in my mind (someone asked the difference between gel and oil):

Oil provides nourishment for hair as it dries out when we wash it with shampoo's. Gel does no such thing. Oil keeps our hair from snapping when we do kangha and provides strength. Gel is only employed for fashion purposes. We use natural edible oils (almond oil etc.) for our kes in order to use safe and functional substance for maintaining our Vaheguru given kes. Gel is not edible (at least I don't think it is, I would never try it myself), and full of chemicals and other synthetic substances which act as a glue and perhaps cause more breakages/damages of the kes.

Is it not fashion to tie up your dhari for no apparent reason at all? For work one may need to do a knot at the bottom, but applying gel is not justified in any sense. Some apply gel to the sides of their dhari so it doesn't puff out at the sides....the question arises: who are you trying to make your Vaheguru-given limb (kes-dharee) good for?

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
