The Dreadlokk Commandments

 

The Dreadlock Commandments: A Sacred Guide to Blessed Locks, as Told by the Hindu Gods and Goddesses

  1. Thou Shalt Not Neglect Thy Dreads
    For Vishnu says, "Just as I maintain the universe, maintain thy locks with care, lest they become a tangled mess of chaos."

  2. Honor the Comb, but Do Not Idolize It
    Shiva, the destroyer, reminds us: "I destroy all false idols. Likewise, use thy comb but do not let it become thy deity. Combs break, but dreads last."

  3. Thou Shalt Not Fear the Frizz
    Saraswati, goddess of wisdom, declares, "In every frizz lies wisdom untold. Let not thy hair be perfectly smooth, for even chaos can create beauty."

  4. Thou Shalt Protect Thy Dreads from Greed
    Lakshmi warns, "Do not let thy dreads fall victim to the lust of products. Only those who know balance will achieve the perfect shine."

  5. Thou Shalt Not Wash Too Frequently
    Lord Brahma, creator of all, says, "The earth does not cleanse itself every day; neither should thy locks. Respect the natural oils and allow the dreads to form."

  6. Thou Shalt Not Let Others’ Opinions Distract Thee
    Ganesha, remover of obstacles, advises, "Do not let the negative remarks of the world stand in thy way. Your dreads are a path to your own enlightenment."

  7. Thou Shalt Avoid the Scissors
    Durga, warrior goddess, stands strong: "Cutting is for the weak-hearted. Protect thy dreads with the strength of a lion, for they are your divine crown!"

  8. Thou Shalt Keep Thy Roots Sacred
    Parvati, goddess of love, whispers, "Thy roots, like thy heart, are sacred. Nurture them with love, and your locks will blossom in their fullest glory."

  9. Thou Shalt Not Braid with Ego
    Indra, king of the gods, instructs: "Braid not with pride, for pride is a knot that can never be undone. Braid with love, for love binds all things beautifully."

  10. Thou Shalt Respect the Time of Maintenance
    Lord Krishna, the playful protector, grins: "Patience is the key to unlocking the true power of thy dreads. Take time to maintain, for good things come to those who wait (and twist and twist)."

  11. Thou Shalt Not Disrespect the Journey of the Locks
    Kali, the fierce goddess, says, "Do not compare thy journey to others. Dreads grow as time and karma dictate, not by thy impatience."

  12. Thou Shalt Have Fun With Thy Locks
    Hanuman, the playful monkey god, jumps in: "Thy dreads are not just a hairstyle, they are a symbol of freedom! Let them swing, dance, and flow like the divine breeze."

  13. Thou Shalt Meditate Upon Thy Dreads
    Buddha, in his infinite calmness, says, "To touch one's hair is to touch the divine. Let your locks lead you to stillness. In their twists, find peace."

  14. Thou Shalt Not Seek Perfection, For the Imperfect is Divine
    Lord Rama’s voice echoes softly, "In every imperfect twist, there lies a perfect moment of truth. Embrace thy dreadlocks as they are, for they are your reflection in the cosmos."

May your locks forever be blessed with patience, beauty, and a touch of divine mischief! 🙏✨
