In olden days, keeping a beard and matted hair was considered to be a symbol of the conduct of Sages (Rishidharma), that is, celibacy. Saturday is the day of Maruti who is an observer of the vow of celibacy of Lord Shiva. There is a predominance of the Maruti Principle frequencies in the Universe on Saturdays. Therefore in order to respect this Principle and to remind oneself of Rishidharma, that is 'I have to win over carnal desires in spite of being in family life,' one should not shave on Saturday. All these rules come under ritualistic worship done through the medium of the body.
