In the video, he said that keeping hair is the Guru's stamp and that its the Guru's Hukam and only by following the Guru's hukam we can enter into God's court.
 
So do you believe that by keeping hair you will enter God's court, and conversely by not keeping it you wont?  Forget about what you believe, actually look at your practical expereince of life so far, what do you KNOW to be true.  You have kept your hair for so many years, have you entered God's court?
 
Kabir Ji says in gurbani that keeping your hair or shaving it off, makes no difference - you have to cut off your bad deeds.
 
Guru Granth Sahib ji says that NAAM is the HUKAM - (not keeping externals) - EKO NAAM HUKAM HA. and Guru gobind Singh Ji said follow Guru Granth Sahib ji.  so which defintion of Hukam are you going to believe - what the preacher is saying in the video that HAIR is the HUKAM, or your Gurubani Guru, that NAAM is the HUKAM?
 
Its very simple veer ji.  Sadhguru ji said there are two things to life - survival and spirituality.

In order to survive - which means to keep this body alive, we do so many things. But they have nothing to do with spirituality.
 
Survival is what we do on the outside, spirituality is what we do on the inside.
 
For survival we have a brain, senses, worldy wisdom, we have enough power to survive as an individual without the need for believing in anything spiritual - all of the animal kingdom is surviving withouth doing any prayers, as are most humans nowadays
 
For survival in the times of oppression after Guru Arjun Dev ji, Bhai Gurdas ji wrote that even a rose has been given thorns.  The following Guru Ji's gave their Sikhs weapons, uniforms, an army, military training, military rules, hunting practise, and so on.   Guru Gobind singh ji formalised the identity of his army by giving a uniform and military rules for daily living.   The identity is all part of the survival, in order to live in this world and to be strong as an army and defend the community.
 
Dhan Dhan is Guru HarGobind Ji for putting the thorns in place.  
 
Thorns is the outside only, Gurbani is the rose.
 
However nowadays for majority of people like you and us, there is no oppression, what the Guru ji's were putting into place is taken care of by the governments of these countries.  When there is no oppression then why would anyone need to still dress and live like a soldier from 300 years ago from a different time and place?   So that is where the preaching has changed over the last few hundred years.  Now the reason to wear the unform and follow the external rules is to achieve salvation, and if you dont follow it, then you wont get a place in God's court - as the video said.  All they are doing is trying to seel the thorn as the rose.
 
That is the illusion modern religion is putting people into.  And what GurParsaad is waking you up to.
 
Wear your 5Ks, follow the external discipline, aspire to the ideals of Guru gobind singh ji of defneding the Sants and destrying the tyrants.  But know why you are doing it, and that if tomorrow you decide to take the uniform off or not follow those external rules, IT DOESNT MEAN the door to God's court is closed to you.
 
Even if you talk to Nihangs they are the closest we have to the Sikh Warriors of Guru Ji's time, even they accept its just a uniform and are quite happy to take off their kirpans off at night when sleeping.  Its just common sense.  Guru Gobind Singh ji freed people from nonsense.
 
God bless you ji

By keeping your hair.you are in gods will.if hair didnt have a purpose then why would god have given it to us.each hair contains the dna of your whole body.it also acts like a heat insulator for the head.reason for keeping a jurha in the middle front of the head is to protect your dasam dubar plus hair also has a sensory action.hair also acts like anttenas.personally i think a sardar looks great with turban and facial hair.

all of your emails are showing where you are, you are really just convincing yourself or trying to justify to yourself, you are not listening to the Gurbani Guru to kill your own wisdom at all.  Everything we tell you is backed up by gurbani, everything you say is not.  So who is your guru?
 
When you start doing Naam simran and start feeling some progress inside, you will realise all this other debate was just a poor substitute to boost your self-esteem, when you didn't know the real thing - SatNaam. 
 
Keep hair or dont, take initiaion or not, whatever you do is all empty without GurParsaado of SatNaam Satguru who you surrender to.   Baba ji said once he has eaten the banana and left the skin for other to trip on.   It means that all the ones who are expereincing Truth, know the Truth and revel in His company within.   But whatever they write or leave behind just becomes a trap for others.   So all you can see of Sikh Gurus is what they left in terms of Gurbani.  Sikh History is written by scholars, not Sants.  Sikh beliefs are given to you by society and family and preachers.  all of that is just the banana skin that you are slipping on.  Experience the fruit for yourself.   Be honest with God inside, "I dont know why you even gave me this body, shaped like this, functioning like this, but you are my Creator and I want to know YOU."  And if you really want to know your creator, then seek out the ones who DO KNOW HIM, and ask them how they did it.  On asking them and getting their blessings, then trust in them and go forward.   Its very simple, just tell your mind, "if you are so clever and are so right about everything,  then why are you still far from God?"   If you keep holding on to the same old beliefs and having the same old debates, then you are going to get the same old results and same old feelings inside you that you haven't finished your journey.  NOTHING CHANGES UNTIL YOU CHANGE.   STAY THE SAME AND YOU WILL GET SAME OLD SAME.
 
God Bless you.
