BHAI TARU SINGH
A Muslim man came to Bhai Taru Singh and said, his daughter has been kidnapped by the commander of village Patti. Bhai Taru Singh promised him, the Singhs would bring her back.
Bhai Taru Singh spent a lot of time meditating and practicing the teachings of Guru Ji. He was a man of his word. He fulfilled his word given to Raheem Bakhsh (Muslim man) and returned his daughter. The commander was killed in the raid.
On hearing this Zakhrya khan (commander of village pahoola) was distraught and sent his soldiers to arrest Bhai Sahib ji. Zakhrya asked Bhai Sahib Ji to accept Islam, he would be freed and given all the riches he could imagine. Bhai Taru Singh declined. Zakhrya asked his men to cut Bhai sahibs hair, when trying, the scissors broke but Bhai sahibs hair would not be cut. Eventually Zakhraya asked a cobbler to remove the scalp from his head.
Bhai sahib promised Zakhrya he would die from his slippers. Zakhrya got a very bad headache later and stopped passing urine. No physician could cure him, eventually it was Bhai sahibs slipper that cured him. The urine would only pass when hit on the head by his slippers. 22 days later Zakhrya passed away and Bhai Taru Singh breathed his last.
Bhai sahib meditated through the torture for 22 days, with his mind balanced and at peace within.
This is the respect Bhai sahib had for his hair (symbol of Guru Ji). Today we don't take 2 minutes to remove our hair. We pay barbers to cut our hair and watch them step all over it. Bhai Taru Singh preserved our faith and honour by giving his life, today we've sold it at the barbers shop.

Vaheguroo!
Bhai Sahib Ji showed above, Sikhs are compassionate, righteous, faithful, loving, tolerant, honourable, live by their word and most of all love and meditate on Vaheguroo's name.
Rehitnama Bhai Desa Singh.
The hair, moustache and beard are created within Gods order. How can those who violate their natural form by cutting their hair ever be accepted by Vaheguroo.
