why monks Always shaved their head



Four things I m going to tell you in this topic

  • First is why monks always shaved their head,
  •  2nd is why after some one’s death in family, one person compulsory shaved their head,
  •  Third is why pandits shaved their head but leaves little bit of hair,
  •  Fourth is why anchorites (sadhu) didn’t shave their head,
  •  Fifth is why defence personnel shaved their backside of head means half head shave,
  • 6th why common people not shave their head.
  • Last but not the least with passage of time hair falls.



These are all very common things; everybody definitely has different views, but interesting views definitely. But in my views

First is monks always shaved their head, because they think that hairs are related to daily social problems that human beings suffers daily and their hair shows how much he deeply inside these problems. That’s why they want to lead a peaceful life and first thing is to remove your hair means to remove all social relations and you ultimately feel peace.

2nd thing is after death of a family member, one person has to shave his head why, many people have different views, but I think for a short time he is in real world it is also related to social network. It’s a reminder for each and every body that this is fact and everybody has no choice but to accept it. One person shaved his head; it’s a signal that every relation in social world will be null and void. These are temporary relation that was you following, but again after one month you again go in virtual world. It gives us to learn many things, some learn, but some don’t. Lesson is the things you are seeing currently are fake. Real thing is, you see earlier.


Third one is pandit who shaved their head but left some hair why, because it is also related to virtual and real world, he has knowledge about the real world but he has to live a virtual life also. Two ways life style he has to live that why he has to leave some hair, we call it as (dhobi).

Fourth one anchorite(sadhu) don’t shave their either head or beard why, because they don’t like this virtual world full of show-off and style, because they know the end so they are standing at end point.


Fifth one is defence personnel shaved half head why, because he has to be in disciplined and well looking and single look, no individual identity, and single look. And has little relation to social life. Half relation to social life leads to half head shaved.

Common people not shave their head why, because they are enjoying their virtual world and full engaged in social life. Their life is full of problems and wandering here and there and didn’t get solution. So let them enjoy, it is a natural thing.



Now with passage of time everybody worrying about their hair fall, don’t worry it is a good thing you are progressing towards leaving your sufferings. It means you get experience that hair style and show-off has nothing to do with life. The real thing is remain simple and understood the natural thing you will ultimately get answer and feels very nice.
