The question of the appropriateness of long hair and beards is frequently put to traditional Christian Orthodox clergy.

Anyone looking at photographs and portraits of clergy in Greece, Russia, Rumania, and other Orthodox countries taken in the early twentieth century will notice that almost without exception both the monastic and married clergy, priests and deacons, wore untrimmed beards and hair. Only after the First World War do we observe a new, modern look, cropped hair and beardless clergy.

Orthodox Christian piety begins in the Holy Tradition of the Old Testament. The relationship to the Lord God, holiness, worship, and morality was formed in the ancient times of the Bible. At the time of the foundation of the priesthood the Lord gave the following commandments to the priests during periods of mourning : "And ye shall not shave your head for the dead [a pagan practice] with a baldness on the top; and they shall not shave their beard..." , and to all men in general: "Ye shall not make a round cutting of the hair of your head, nor disfigure your beard" . The significance of these commandments is to illustrate that the clergy are to devote themselves completely to serving the Lord. Laymen as well are called to a similar service though without the priestly functions. This out ward appearance as a commandment was repeated in the law given to the Nazarene, a razor shall not come upon his head, until the days be fulfilled which he vowed to the Lord: he shall be holy, cherishing the long hair of the head all the days of his vow to the Lord... .

The significance of the Nazarene vow was a sign of God's power resting on the person who made it. To cut off the hair meant to cut off God's power as in the example of Samson . The strength of these pious observances, transmitted to the New Testament Church, were observed without question till our present times of willfulness and the apostasy resulting from it. Why, one might ask, do those Orthodox clergymen, while rejecting the above pious ordinances about hair, continue to observe the custom of granting various head coverings to clergy, a practice which also has its roots in the ancient ordinances of the Old Testament and the tradition of the early Church ?

The Apostle Paul himself wore his hair long as we can conclude from the following passage where it is mentioned that "head bands," in Slavonic, and "towels" touched to his body were placed on the sick to heal them. The "head bands" indicate the length of his hair (in accor dance with pious custom) which had to be tied back in order to keep it in place . The historian Egezit writes that the Apostle James, the head of the church in Jerusalem, never cut his hair. Jesus Christ is depicted on all occasions with long hair and beard as the Great High Priest of the new Christian priest hood.

Apostle Paul's selection of words emphasizes his criticism of laymen wearing their hair in a stylized fashion, which was contrary to pious Jewish and Christian love of modesty.

Gangu Shah
Gangu Shah was a very rich banker from Lahore. Times changed and Gangu Shah lost
everything he had and got bankrupt. He had nowhere to go and heard of Guru Amardas
jee daa darbar at Govindval Sahib. When a person gets hit by adversity, he either
becomes devoted to Vaheguru or totally loses faith in him. Gangu Shah was lucky that he
got bairaag and started doing sewa in at Govindval Sahib.

He did sewa day and night and spoke very little to others. He was constantly reciting
baani. One day Guru Sahib became pleased at him and blessed him with amrit naam i.e.
Gurmantra. Now Gangu Shah started japping naam day and night. Everybody thought
that he was in great bairagi state but Guru Sahib knew everything.
Even though he was doing sewa of naam and seemed to be in bairaag but deep inside, he
regretted losing all wealth he had. Guru Sahib knows the inside of all and Gangu Shah
was not an exception. Guru Sahib knew what he wanted deep inside. One day, happy
with his sewa and simran, Guru Sahib called him and asked him to ask for a boon. He just
asked for more kirpa. Finally Guru Sahib asked him to go to Delhi and start his old
business of banking and not give up Sikhi at any cost.

Gangu Shah heard Guru Sahib in disbelief and asked him how he could become a banker
as no one would trust him after becoming bankrupt at Lahore. Besides that, he had
absolutely no money to start up such a business. Guru Sahib repeated his bachan and
asked him to go to Delhi. Gangu Shah did matha tek and left for Delhi.

In those days, "hundi" was a very popular way of sending money from one place to
another. It was not safe to carry large amounts of cash by hand. So what the travellers
used to do was, deposit the money with a banker in the city they lived in, who would then
write him a hundi (a signed statement of receipt of money) in the name of another banker
from the place of destination of the traveller. It was like a traveller cheque that the
traveller would take to the place of destination and get cashed by the banker on whose
name the hundi would be.

Gangu Shah had done this work before and was a known name in this field. He had many
contacts in Lahore. Above all, he had the lotus-hand of Guru Sahib on his head and very
soon he was able to establish himself in Delhi. Soon he became a very rich person again.
His hundi was honoured by all bankers in Sirhind, Lahore and other major cities of
Punjab. He continued doing his paath and simran but got more and more greedy with
more accumulation of money. Such is the nature of maaya. When one does not have
maaya one does not realize how more maaya can make a person embroilled in moh
(attachment) and lobh (greediness) along with ahankaar (ego).

When one gets greedy, Guru Sahib tries to fix his Sikh. When we start compromising
Sikhi rehit for worldly things, we should understand this as a sign of our downfall.


At Govindval, a poor Sikh approached Guru Amardas jee and asked for help in getting
his daughter married. This Sikh was very poor but a really good Sikh. In history it is
written that he was a Sikh from a Brahmin background. Guru Sahib wrote a hundi, signed
by him, addressed to Gangu Shah in Delhi, and asked the poor Sikh to get the money
from Gangu Shah. Guru Sahib probably thought that since Gangu Shah had acquired a lot
of wealth, it was a good time to test him.

Only the fortunate ones can withstand the tests of Guru Sahib. Only if Guru Sahib
himself does kirpa, we can pass tests from him. Anyway, Gangu Shah, received this poor
Sikh with warmth and inquired about Govindval. The Sikh told him all about Govindval
and finally told him the purpose of his visit. He gave Gangu shah the hundi written and
signed by Guru Sahib.

Gangu Shah saw the hundi and was about to give the money to the poor Sikh, when his
mind corrupted him. Some bad karma from his previous lives blossomed and ruined him.
Gangu Shah started thinking that it is true that he is rich but who in this world can afford
to just give away money like that. He thought that, Guru Sahib is not into worldly affairs
and does not understand the worldly affairs. Guru Sahibknows more about spiritual world
as opposed to the worldly affairs. The Sikhs are taking advantage of Guru Sahib and will
try to take away Gangu's money. He thought that if today, he gives money to this poor
Sikh, tomorrow there will be a line-up of beggars.

It was great misfortune of Gangu Shah that he got trapped in the tricks of mind. His mind
got taken over by maaya. He finally agreed to his mind and told the poor Sikh that he
cannot give him any money as his money is stuck somewhere.

The Sikh understood that Gangu Shah was reluctant to give money, so he did not argue
further with Gangu Shah and travelled back to Govindval. He narrated everything that
occurred, to Guru Amardas jee. The all-knowing Guru Sahib knew everything and just
smiled after hearing about Gangu Shah’s refusal to give money. He arranged money for
the poor Sikh through other means.

On the other hand, the abundant force of Vaheguru came into action after the huge
negative karma of Gangu Shah. Within days he lost everything he had earned. When he
lost everything and came on the street, he realized his mistake. He realized that all that he
had was by the kirpa of Guru Sahib. He realized his blunder and regretted refusing money
to that Sikh.

Fortunately, he had good karma and he thought of totally renouncing the world and going
back to Govindval Sahib. He came to Govindval Sahib and started doing sewa day and
night. Guru Sahib did kirpa and he recited naam at very early amrit hours. All day he kept
reciting naam and gurbani. All this time, he did not go in front of Guru Sahib and hid
from other Sikhs who could recognize him. It is written in Suraj Parkash Granth that,
with all this sewa and simran, his face started glowing with naam.

Guru Sahib who knew everything, was waiting for the right time to approach him. With
his sewa and naam jaap, he washed away his sins. Guru Sahib one day, called him in.
With great hesitation and with great sharam (pashemaani, sharmindagi), he came to the
darbar of Guru Sahib. He was thinking that how he could show his face to Guru Sahib
after refusing to honour the hundi written and signed by Guru Sahib himself. Guru Sahib
is no human and does not have human qualities. Guru Sahib is Vaheguru himself and has
qualities of Vaheguru. Vaheguru does not consider one's bad deeds when doing kirpa.
Guru Sahib, called him Shah jee and told him that he was very happy with his sewa. He
fell at the lotus-feet of Satguru and asked for forgiveness of his black deeds. Guru Sahib
lifted him up and embraced him and gave him a lot of asees. With all these asees, Gangu
Shah became a blessed soul.

Now Gangu Shah had seen how unstable the material world is and he asked for only
naam and more naam. Guru Sahib blessed him with the top spiritual state where one
becomes one with Vaheguru. Gangu Shah, became the real shah i.e. the shah of Naam.

Once there was a devotee of God who had a longing to meet God. He did not know Punjabi and could not understand Guru Granth Sahib Ji. He heard of a priest who translates Guru Granth Sahib Ji and narrates the message of the Guru Sahib in English. He went to the priest and joined his congregation. The priest started describing the greatness and the teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. He conveyed the message of Guru Ji. As Guru instructed he said, God can only be seen by meditating on Him and remembering Him for every moment. Just as you would remember someone you love and he/she is in your mind all the time, remember God and you shall meet Him. The priest was doing holy work but he was only doing it for money. As people would leave, they would present him with some money for his time and that is what priest wanted. The priest himself would not worship God and was concentrating on making as much money as he could.

The devotee of God became a regular follower of the priest. He would come to the priest’s congregation everyday, learn about Guru’s message and while leaving, he would leave some money for the priest. However, in order to travel to the priest’s congregation, the devotee had to cross a river. There was no bridge nearby, so he had to walk 1 mile south to get to the bridge and come back north for about 1 mile. This would take him a lot of time. The devotee decided to ask for a solution from the priest. When he asked, the priest first asked for his fee. The devote paid him and the priest told him that if he worships God from deep within his heart and has trust in Him, God will make him able to walk on water and he will no longer has to walk 2 miles to cross the bridge.

The devotee was impressed. He had a great trust in God and started worshipping him even more than he used to. He would wake up at 3AM in the morning, take a bath and mediate on God. He would also meditate on him while running errands and working. He recited the Name of God for each moment he could.

A month passed and the devotee was walking along the bank of the river and he was getting late. He thought if be walked a mile to the bridge and then a mile back, he would miss the most of the day’s sermon. So he decided to go through the river. As he stepped in the water, he did not become wet and neither did his foot sink in the water. He was actually walking on water. He was filled with joy and thanked God. He crossed the river by walking on the water and reached the congregation of the priest.

After that day, he never crossed the bridge; he would walk on the water to go to the priest's congregation. One day, the devotee invited the priest to his house for a meal to thank him for his guidance. The priest accepted his invitation and headed along with him to his house. As they approached the river, the priest wanted to cross the river from the bridge. The devotee replied that he doesn’t cross the bridge anymore and goes through the river. The priest asked that why does he go through the river, doesn’t he get wet? The devotee replied that he never gets wet, he walks on water. The priest was astonished. The priest asked the devotee to cross the river first.

The devotee crossed the river by walking on water. The priest had never seen anything like this before. He was wonderstruck and filled with astonishment. When the devotee reached the other side, he asked the priest to cross the river. Having not meditated on God, priest hesitated but to preserve his honor he thought to give it a try. As he stepped in the water, he drowned. The devotee had to pull the priest out of the river.

Moral: Hypocrites talk about God and the teaching of Guru Ji but they seldom follow the teachings themselves. God is always with the true follower of Guru Ji, even if the follower obtains his knowledge about God from a hypocrite.
