Priya Ji,
I am not a hindu and I do not know about the hair shaved as offering, but I think it is a big sacrifice, because I have some first hand experience of having my hair cut and head shaved. My chachi raised me since I was 7. My parents passed away in an accident. So I had a hard childhood. My chachi had two daughters, one younger and older than me. On of the rules of my chachi was that the kids should always have short hair. And short mean even shorter tha most men. I remember getting teased in School. The street barber in our neighbourhood knew my chachi. Most of the time all the three girls were sent to him & he used the machine to cut our hair real short. Once in a while she asked him to shave the head completely and I would cry my eyes out but could not do anything. One time I remember when I was somewhat older arround 13 she had let me go without a haircut for more than a year. Then one day she took me to the barber. She asked him to do the mundan. I felt so bad because everyone was looking. I remember the barber telling me to sit tight wetting my hair with water and then using an ustara. I also remember when he stopped in between for a cigerrate and I had a chance to look in the mirror. Part of my head was shaved clean smooth and the rest had hair. I cried hard but he completed the job and I had to deal with a bald head for next several months.
When i was arround 15 my grandma took me to her house and since then I have grown my hair long. I will never cut them now.
Being a woman, if you shave your head for religious purpose, it is a big sacrifice. For me the experience was worse because I was teased a lot, but you may get a different response. May your god bless you for such passion.
Rani replied. I can understand your feelings, coz I experienced it. My mother was also of the same opinion that , children should have short hair. Every summer, at the start of vacation, we use to get a headshave from barber. It continued till I was 14. Only on my fathers request she allowed me to go for boycut instead of shave. I felt very embarassed to sit in barbers chair, and getting my head shaved. Now I am 25, happily married. but even now, when I see a barbers shop, those nightmares reappears. vijay replied. yes priya sister
