- What its REALLY like to have a head full of dreads (Shiva Jattas)...answering the most common questions you have about dreadlocks! Plus sharing some spiritual secrets about them. There are LOTS of pro's, and some con's you should know about. Excited to make more videos sharing on dreadlocks maintenance, how to wash, hair styles and more!
I happen to live in a community where all 250+ residents have dreadlocks, or jattas as we call them in Hinduism. Its been so fun to learn about their history and see so many diverse bodies rocking them!

You are blessed deeply for your hair to grow past your shoulders like that.
@NithyanandaMinistry : Yes kundalini is blessed extremely DEEPLY by nithyananda himself atleast 5 times a day ! VERY DEEPLY
Yomama, are you insane
@@yomamasofat8361 Hahaha
Fascinating!! I adore them on you. I've always been concerned about the cultural appropriations of dreads, but on further investigation it appears that they exist in so many cultures, northern hemisphere as well.
I have very curly hair, people love it. I think to dread must be so liberating. X
It is very liberating and the depth of the tradition cannot be confined by ethnicity
@NithyanandaMinistry : stupid Bisch !
Totally understand where you're coming from with the cultural appropriation. I've received some flak for starting my dread journey on a Facebook group that I'm in. At first I didn't know why it was a problem, but then I did some reading and I get it now. I guess the best we can do is try to respect the cultures that find a more intrinsic meaning in them other than just fashion.
The Shivite Indians didnt get mad at the rastas for appropriating. If we went to Africa,how often do you think we'd see dredlocks?Id guess,not often
@@that1martian Yeah, I’ve been on a spiritual journey and I also love the look of them. Was characterized as a racist by some white lady on FB for even inquiring about them. Did it deter you from getting locks? Or did you end up getting them?
Yes! Please do a Indian Jatas hair tutorial!
So I have endometriosis an autoimmune disease and one of the side effects is my hair falling out I did a test with faux locs and my hair didn't fall out as much tell I took them down .. even taking them down I had less fall out. It's been a year in half journey of having answers and understanding my body in what it's going through from the inside out. I'm wanting to start them as a beginner what would you say would be the basics
Yes! Ma i will love to c a video with the traditional hairstyles
you and your husband lead me to the dreads 4 years ago after a life changing stay in a hospital Love you both
wow how cool to hear 😊😊❤️
Was just recently talking with hubby about dreads n here we are😀thanks for sharing :) was very interesting to see the spiritual point of them
Haha awesome and thank you!❤️
I love them,great video ,. Thanks.
Beautiful blessings, they are gorgeous! I have 14, I love them, and the experience of them is immense! Nithyanandam!
@NithyanandaMinistry : Why stop at 14, why stop at only the head...if you know what we mean !
I also love rolling them, and had this urge to roll them in Bhashma, but wasn't sure if it was protocol, to be respectful. I still have that feeling. I will appreciate when you share the products, the dryness concerns me, and I found some rose water spray felt good, and also a bit of essential oils, but just a slight hint of them. My hair is growing faster and thicker, so I have a lot of wild baby hairs to fiddle with. I love that rolling ritual. I used to have to use about 10 hair pins and now use one or two. That is nice.
Yes rolling works great. Get a crochet needle also to fix the baby hairs
thank you
does the extra weight also make the hair grow way faster? i feel like peeps with dreads get their hair growing super fast too, probably due to the expanded physical sensations that arise, and obviously spiritual stuff i still have no idea about yet. also what about beards? i often wondered if beards have throat chakra benefits. i know mine gets super itchy, and if i shave after a while the jaw line seems extra chiseled and glowy. so i was thinking that extra itch is the kundalini traveling through creating extra consciousness in that region, same might go for the dreads? so any ways you can expand the natural physical sensations that arise in the day to day experience, can expand that Chakra?
I’m not sure- it definitely could! Surely everyone is a bit different though. Great question about the beards..fascinating stuff. I’m not sure will see if I can find out.
Can we make fire ball jutsu with that chakra?
Hi Ma. I was wondering why at the adheenam everyone with jattas has the hair at the front of the head open/undreaded and the rest of the head is in dreads? Is there a specific reason for this?
Are there rituals that you use your jattas in at the adheenam? Thanks for the video 💜
Many do not, many have their whole head done. It’s just for personal preference and styling. Plus Swamiji Himself has the front part like that so I wanted mine like that :)
I love it. Yes give us all the Jatta information you got!!
Will do😄
@NithyanandaMinistry : Kindly do not ask for such advices, our adhivasi's forget spirituality and get involved into vloggin about salon, road trips and what not. kindly dont distract them please ! its hard to control them with only dog food.
Can i please ask you something...please tell me how you got your dreads done...
It is dreadlocks that brought me to your videos...and that's how i discovered the adheenam that you are a part of...im 21 and really wish i could be there and experience it for myself...
I'm new to your channel and I love it I my self will be getting my hair dread locs soon
Yesss!make a video on hairstyles for jattas😃👍💚 also, maintenance n which products..
Ok😊
Can we add Extensions for JATTAS .....is it okay for meditation.
Thank you Ma, it looks great your Jattas, unbelievable you have made them yourself...wish to see more about the different styles, how to make the beautiful buns and braids.... Nithyanandam!
thanks so much ma!
@NithyanandaMinistry : Hey nutcase listen up, we're talking spirituality here, its not a god damned salon ok !
Could You please gimme some advice about waking up kundalini, and getting some realy bad baad body odour? Thank You in advance..
Thank You
Vibrant colored fruits and vegetables,fasting and intense exercise. If you are eating bread or sugar,stop. They ferment inside you and fermentation stinks... Natural soap and natural deodarant.like dr Bronners
I have a question. Funny but serious actually. One of my cats, Bobby, loves to chew on my dreads. He usually starts at the tips. I first tried using those colorful metal things you wrap around yr dread, they look like beads once they're on. They're soft like aluminum. So I put a few of them on each end. Didn't help much. He chews on them too! I'm afraid he might swallow some sharp little piece and hurt his insides- so that idea is out.
Then I tried wrapping Scotch tape around the tips, thinking the texture wouldn't be palatable. Doesn't help.
Meanwhile some of my dreads are getting too short! Many are almost to my knees. The longest one is past my knees. I will be so sad if he chews that one off. I wrapped a bunch of thread around it--- but it's just a matter of time... There's a couple that are like shoulder length now! This has got to stop! So I'm wondering if you or any of your viewers has any suggestions for me? How can I get Bobby to stop chewing on my hair when I'm asleep?!?
Put chilly powder on your hair.
@@RikthDcruze Ooo that's a good idea, thank you. I hadn't thought of that. :-) 🙀 Hahaha my little kitty friend Bobby will be surprised! I'm thinking I'll mix up a bunch of it in a bowl of water, then dip the ends in, maybe up to two inches. Because I'd think just the powder itself would get pretty messy Lol. Have you tried that yourself?
@@Lydianon naah never tried that myself. Just came up with it. There is however a problem. The chili soaked hair may go into your eyes during sleep. A better idea would be something bitter. Like some bitter vegetables (bitter gourds) or some other not harmful/non painful stuff. (NEEM would be a great option, it's anti bacterial and anti fungal and is bloody bloody bitter! but I don't think it will be so available in the Western countries)
Yessssssssss!! Thank you 😘
💕
Need help about this..if I get them..can I keep them lifetime
Beautiful!
i know yogananda spoke on long hair vs short hair.having long hair,absorbs more of the energy around you,and from the sun,and he also said he had less headaches with long hair vs short hair
Yes!! its a long standing yogic tradition with both physical and conscious benefits. also prevents hot flashes!
Are you referring to hot flashes experienced by older women?
Yes
Wow - I could use some jattas now! (hot flashes!), Lol
Why did you remove them?
Your smile could light up the World.
😊❤️❤️
How do you maintain them??
Please make a maintenance video for washing/moisturizing etc. Thank you 📿💜🕉
Will very soon!❤️🙏🏻
Can you make video on how to make ideal spiritual bun and it's spiritual benefits.
how to make those?
Hello, If i were to go over there for one of the programs is it mandatory to have them done?
And if i were to go to the 21 day program for opening the third eye, am I getting into a specific religion?
Silvia Vidal no it’s definitely not mandatory! Even if you live there. It’s just a recommendation because they raise your frequency.
And also again, no! You are not signing up for becoming Hindu if you go to a program. In Hinduism there is no formal conversion. I wasn’t properly a follower of Hinduism before I went to IA but the whole experience just blew me away so much, it was a no brainier that it was the way to go if I wanted to accelerate my spirituality and I just fell in love with it immediately! You go to a program for your spiritual benefit, not to convert to Hinduism. It’s your choice.
Thank you for that beautiful answer! Everything he just said! ^ haha
Kundalini Yogini 🙏
Hinduism is a way of living like in veganism u respect Animals same is Hinduism its a life style not a religion, you synchronize, respect n live with nature
How about split ends do you get like dry ends with them ?
Yes. Locking your hair causes damage to your hair but after about a year of them being in none of that matters. They just become a solid rope of hair.
I knew it... im more enlightened than everyone. 😉
I had long hair for years. Really long. I have now cut it short. Really short. Much easier to maintain short hair. Easy to oil, easy to wash.
Beautiful I would love to see a video on how you do your dreadlocks, you said it takes 3 to 4 days?
Thank you.
Blessings love and light
Yes, I can't really show because mine are already done sadly!
Omgggg those locks are beautiful
Conscious living :) :)
Thank you so much ❤️
where is this place that you live in can l come and join l mean to stay
I've been thinking about Jattas soo much recently! What is the correct number?
15, 36,38, 50 and few other sets I’m forgetting
Beautiful
Groovy
How long has that hair been wth
Beautiful ❤️
The colour shift in the dreads does look like extensions
~Ma, please tell me how you determined your particular number of jatas ( I already have the scripture reference). How did you determine placement according to nadis and did you use any synthetic or natural hair to add to your length? 🙏🏽📿🔱I’m gonna attempt creating my jatas as soon as I get more detailed information 🙏🏽📿
My placement wasn’t done with nadis perse. Out of the given numbers by Sadashiva, 36 just spoke to me I guess!
Definitely use SYNTHETIC HAIR ONLY. Real hair carries biomemory aka KARMA from whosever it is 🤭
Go for it ma!!💗
Omg I'm always scared ppl r gona think I smell dirty or reek of weed (I don't smoke) so I always make sure I'm clean & smell good. Ppl also stare at me a lot esp if I wear my hair up. The biggest con for me is the maintenance I have to get every few mo and the money I have to spend on maintenance. But other than that it's great.
totallyyyyy feel you on that!
It's ya girl Indica You don’t have to pay for maintenance. Freeform and liberate yourself
@@ina1815 that's actually a good idea. I'm gona try. Thank you
Your dreads are amazing!! ❤️
thank youuu
@NithyanandaMinistry : Please refrain from commenting on our adhiniwasi's, they're trained only to accept dogfood!

Do the cleanses every few months. You can also use Bringaraj hair oil to stimulate growth
@@KundaliniYogini thnku ...bharingraj oil long hair remedy. .baking soda and apple cider vinegar
🧡🍊your nose stud is cute🧡🍊
How are man made Dreds Spiritual, you didnt go thru the long process of naturally Locking ? Not to be rude just thinking.
Your Dreds are still Beautiful.
Starr 64 with you
Right on
I Think you did an excellent job of explaining how they are spiritual. Namaste.
Starr 64 Shiva followers have jattas to represent Shiva, trusts the practice in spirituality
Doesn't matter is it man made or naturally.... Dreadlocks r necessary...
Even in India normally first dread made by guru ....
Har har mahadev♥️
❤️
How did ur hair grow so long?
@NithyanandaShop : nithya semen shampoo
Did someone made them or are they freeform?
I made them
Hlo mam i want to get dreadlock with you like your dreadlock so much
Can I go to India with you?
Is there benefits of short hair? Why do certain monastic traditions shave their head? Also, if I wanted to study Hinduism in your Asharam, would I have to have long hair?
Shaving the head for certain rituals also helps with Prana intake. :) and no there is no rule or anything you can have it as you want!

Very happy that Sanatan Dharma returns to the foreign worlds.
woooooooooow 1111 luv
did your kundalini awaken really? how you called yourself kunalini yogini?
Yes it was awakened by my guru fully, almost 4 years ago. But the reason I named my channel Kundalini Yogini is because I specialize in traditional rope yoga and teach it as my life’s passion. It is called Kundalini Rajju yoga- aka why I am Kundalini Yogini 😊
What a question? What are you going to do by asking this question!
Wow cool, I happen to have 36 as well. Got them done last week. :D
Do you was them?
If yes then how??
I don't particularly like the look of Jattas, but when I started following you and Swaroopapriya I gained a whole new appreciation for their beauty. My question is, are they heavy? Can they pull out your hair and thin it? I have thin hair and the thought of having something weigh it down makes my head hurt ...
They can be heavy, depends how you Make them (thickness wise). Mine don’t feel particularly heavy. Over years and years they can definitely get heavier but you get used to it like anything :) I’ve heard some cases of thinning hair but very rare
Weight has nothing to do with how big you make the locs. Weight usually comes from buildup in the hair. Try and apple cider vinager rinse to dissolve buildup
Do you live in India?
I was for 2 years, now back in US❤️
Your Aura is extremely rare .
Echhhhhh not to be rude but just so people know this is uhhh.. her own ideas.. I think there are many other ways to look at this and you should consider finding and exploring others peoples approaches .. thanks ppls!:) ... uh lastly it’s not all about looks .. don’t know why I would have to feel the need to clarify on that :) blessings 🙏🏼
I agree, everyone should hear many peoples experiences! I clearly shared this only as a personal experience for people who ask me :)
How do dreadlocks "maintain themselves"? I don't get it, if you travel and don't wash them they still look good? How is that different from regular hair? Sorry none of this makes any sense to me 😕
Dreadlocks dont move or become tangled... They're just a rightly bound bunch of hair, whats there to spoil? They stay like that for years
In African culture they are restricted, they don't come out when it is washed, but our natural hair is easy to twist and it you can get it done in a few hours depending on the length of the hair.
I associate locs with ancient nordic people and Samson from the Bible (he was a Jew who was supposed live according to the Nazarite vow from the time he was conceived, Judges 13-16)
I want this jada hair☹️☹️☹️
U r pretty
also washing hair with shampoo too often is not healthy.
Correct!
This is bull man if you are gonna say about the spiritual side you do it the natural way, lol how can you be a yogi or aspire to be one when you don't even have the patience to wait for your hairs to naturally dread. Putting on extensions just is horrible from the spiritual point of view, everything would be fine do whatever with your hairs but if you include spirituality it's just wrong.
thats quite a lot of conclusions and judgements to draw.
i choose to listen to enlightened masters and aghoris on this matter :)
@@chetansihag017 😂
you are magnificent
Dreadlocks are formed when you don't wash your hair or neglect them. We in Islam don't have them because it is an unclean habit.We must cut our hair from
Various parts of the body, wash our hair regularly and keep clean our bodies in order to pray 5 times a day, even before prayers we carry out ablutions in order to make our prayers valid.In Islam cleanliness is most important because
If you clean then you are close to Allah
SWA, the creator, the master, the most merciful, lord of this world and the hereafter.
Can you speak hindi ?
no sadly!
In African culture our own natural hair is twisted all over, we don't have to frizz or weave or manipulate our hair in any way,, locks are a natural hairstyle that only takes some hours not days,, the style was created by Africans for hair with our texture,, that's why it looks good on our hair type,, straight hair doesn't look good braided or locked and washing is easy because the hair doesn't unravel or come out and as it grows we get it retwisted. It has long been a part of our culture dating back thousands of years. Everyone has seen it in our culture being worn by Jamaicans and African Americans for many years. People talked about us and made fun of our locks and now everybody is wearing them and acting as if they didn't see us wearing them in the US before anyone else. I do know for a fact that locks origins are from Africa and has spread out to the rest of the world.
It originates from india meaning the proof of the earliest people to wear dreadlocks were indians.
Why you have to lie about your length "my hair was so long when I dreaded it" girl your extensions aren't even the same color as your hair
I’ve never tried to hide the fact that I got extensions...I got them over a year after I had my natural dreads (which were already very long) so I could do more traditional Indian hairstyles like my community wears. I only kept the extensions for about 7 months then removed them because I didn’t like them.
@@KundaliniYogini The way you talked about the length made it seem like you were saying it was all your hair, sorry if I came off mean
He's a bloody imposter and you people cant tell the difference
what makes me an imposter?
I said nithyanada is a bloody imposter
And are u a he?
Me personally think they look disgusting 🤮
Beautiful ❤️
