The Code on inshore hair by Bhai Nand Lal Goya
The Rehatnama written by Bhai Nand Lal ji also clearly emphasizes the importance of keeping unshorn hair (kesh) clean, neat, and well-kept. It highlights that Guru ji was deeply concerned not only with spiritual discipline but also with the physical well-being and hygiene of his Sikhs.
The Father of Khalsa
Guru Gobind Singh ji understood the practical realities of life in Punjab, especially the hot climate, where long hair naturally leads to more perspiration and therefore requires greater care. Cleanliness, regular washing, combing, and tying of hair were considered essential parts of Sikh discipline. This was not merely about appearance, but about self-respect, health, and dignity.

Thus, maintaining long hair was never meant to be neglected or disorderly. On the contrary, it required responsibility, discipline, and daily upkeep. Through such guidance, Guru ji ensured that his Sikhs remained hygienic, presentable, and disciplined while upholding the divine gift of kesh with honor and care.
