Hello Guys

I found out that the Central Khalsa Orphanage based in Amritsar requires that its non-Sikh boys who are admitted be required to grow their hair and wear patkas until the age of 12 and turbans until they turn 18 in which they can cut their hair again.

What do you think of this?

They are going according to Guru ji's hukham that parents/guardians should not cut the hair of a child , which is fair enough it is not preventing the development of the child and helps them feel part of the family too. You can imagine your typical punjabi mat people being prejudice aganist a  child just because of first impressions .

so you proposing barber should called on monthly basis and paid for by gursikhs to go against the hukham of Guru ji? They will be sinning two times against children and against Guru ji's hukham. Baru Sahib also have strict rules on not cutting hair and wearing dastars/chunnis so are they also wrong?

Yeah but that no hair-cutting rule at the Baru Sahib only applies to Sikh students at that school not the Non-Sikh students who do have to cover their head but are allowed to cut their hair

A orphanage like the Central Khalsa Orphanage and a private school such as the Akal Academy Baru Sahib and two totally different things. At the Baru Sahib a Moneh wannabes of Sikh background do have a choice to cut their hair but it will result in expulsion and the expelled student and his or her parents would have to select the millions of other schools around the world in which to attend, whereas the Central Khalsa Orphanage takes in destitute boys of both Sikh and non-Sikh background and any Moneh wannabes among their numbers can choose to cut their hair but it would mean being thrown onto the streets.

bro you are taking one aspect and blowing it out of proportion , they are required to kesh and heads covered in the uniform provided this is to treat all equally and not undermining the sikhi of their other wards , I am sure that the other faiths are not restricted in their prayers or faiths apart from that . Considering that they have a secure loving atmosphere to grow up and to  have a future in, that is priceless blessing  in such a backwards and ruthless society who have ultimately consigned them to the bins

My thinking is that you are not a parent yet. Parents or in this case, caretakers responsibility is to guide a child on how to make a right decision. No sikh will ever suggest the idea nor support the idea of hair cut as that is not allow d in our Dharam to modify the creation of waheguru ji.

    • 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.
