Hello SikhiWiki

Thank you for such a great website!

I just have a question here regarding this posting about the turban and it physiological aspects. It is mentioned here that hair is drawing energy from the sun and that is why we keep our hair. But this seems to conflict with the fact that our hair is covered from the sun with a turban. Would it be possible to have further explanation on this please?

Thank you and regards Alan


I think the physiological interpretation given to turben is not correct. One must keep in mind the topical necessity of having a turben. When the Guru enjoined that Keshas(hair) are not to be shorn then it is necessary that proper care should be taken of them. hence the requirement of turben or Dastaar. the idea of getting energy from sun is not correct.This is a brahmanical concept that the planets give us energy or guide our lives. Its only the Akaal purakh(God) who gives us strength and energy and Path/Shabad is the way to get it from HIM.One should not overlook the historical perspective and make a simple thing difficult by some convulated explanation which is perhaps not even rationally correct.

thanks, H P Singh, India.
