The Khanda is a symbol of the Khalsa.

Sikhism was founded by Guru Nanak (1469 – 1539) in North India.Number 5 in Sikhism - Sikh Khanda

Sikhs believe the word of God has come through The Ten Gurus.

Before his death Guru Gobind Singh declared he was the final of the human Gurus.

After he died the authority passed on to the Guru Granth Sahib. Guru Granth Sahib is the name of the sacred scriptures.

Khalsa, which means pure, was instituted by the tenth Guru Gobind Singh. Khalsa is initiated by a ceremony.

Sikh men who are initiated in the Khalsa will wear the Five K’s as instructed by Guru Gohind Singh.

The Five K’s are also known as Amritdhari.

These five K’s were set down in 1699 by Guru Gobind Singh.

Number 5 in Sikhism: The Five Beloved Ones

In 1699 Guru Gobind Singh (the Tenth Guru) was in Amandpur. Guru Gobind Singh addressed a huge crowd of thousands outside his tent.

He drew his sword and asked if anyone was willing to die for their faith. The third time he asked a man stepped forward.

He entered the tent with the Guru. Shortly after, the Guru Gobind Singh came out of the tent with a bloody sword.

He asked for another volunteer. Another man stepped forward and went into the Guru’s tent.

Again the Guru came out with a bloody sword and asked yet again for a volunteer. This procedure was repeated five times.

The crowd was shocked. The Guru Gohind Singh came out of the tent once more.

This time he was accompanied by the five men who were unharmed.

These five men who were willing to die for their faith became known as the Five Beloved Ones – The Panj Piare.

It was on this day the Guru took a bowl of water. Sahib Devan added it sugar crystals to the water.

She was given the name Mata Sahib Kaur and is respected as “The Mother of the Khalsa”.

The Guru mixed the water and sugar using his sword. This nectar is called Amrit.

He recited the five Banis (Five Prayers).

The Five Beloved Ones were each given five handfuls of Amrit to drink.

The Guru then sprinkled the Amrit on their eyes five times.

They also received five sprinkles of the Amrit on their hair.

The Five K’s were initiated.

This was the first Sikh Baptism ceremony, The Khalsa. Khalsa means “pure”.

Any man who has been initiated to the Khalsa will that day be given the name Singh, which means Lion.

A woman will be given the name Kaur, which means Princess.

Amar sach ki honda hai? Jisnu kaal naas nahi kar sakda. Gurbani vich amar sach hai. Guru Nanak Dev ji da furmaan hai, jo science vi galat karar nahi kar sakdi.
“Arbad narbad dhundhukara
dharan na gagna hukam apara
na din raen na chand na suraj
sun samadh lagaeda”
Sannata si. Sunn si. Kuch vi nahi si. Iss hi sun sannate vich, Maharaj kehende ne ek bohot vada dhamaka hoya, kavao hoya
“kita pasao, eko kavao”
Ek zor di awaaz hui, teh awaaz oh faeli. Jis tarah paani vich patthar sutto te leher faedi hai. Te aje tak oh awaaz chal rahi hai, usnu Anhad Naad kehende ne.
Jad eh awaaz hui, uss ton arba kharba suraj paida hoye. Harr suraj de bohot saare tukde bane. Suraj de naal jiwan de dariya chale.
“keeta pasao, eko kavao
tis te hoe lakh dariyao”
Lakkhan zindagi de dariya chal pae. Jo dharti bani, saari suraj de tukde ne. Uss suraj ton paalna hui. Zameen aje tak thandi nahi hui, andar garmi hai.
“jo kichch paiya so eka vaar”
Prabhu ne saari banaspati de beej pa ditte. Saare suksham dhaanche de beej pa ditta.
Jo jo suraj da hissa thanda hoya, patthar baniya. Patthar naal itna pyaar hai, paththar di pooja ho rahi hai. Church ich chale jao, hazrat isa diya moortiyan patthar di. Jain mandar vich patthar diya moortiyan Swami Mahavir di. Bodh mandir vich moortiyan Mahatma Buddh diya.
Paththar naal pyaar hai kyunki asaadi yatra paththran toh chali hai. Sadi shuruat patthar ton hoi hai. Teh asaadi yatra samapt kad hoegi? Jad paththar Parmatma bann jaega.
Hazaran saalan toh baad paththar mitti ban gya, teh uss ton vanaspati baneya. Vanaspati ton pashu pakshi baneya. Iss yatra te prakrati chalandi rahi, Parmatma di shakti chalandi rahi. Hazaaran lakhan saalan di yatra ton baad, eh pashu pakshi manukh de roop vich prakat hoe. Manukkhan da beej pashuan vich si, pashuan da beej vanaspati vich si, vanaspati da beej paththaran vich si. Paththar suraj toh aaya teh suraj Parmatma ton.
“jo kichch paiya so eka vaar”
Manukh nu prakrati ne khulla chadd ditta, taaki vo aage di yatra aape kare. Iss kol hun avsar hai agge jaane da, Parmatma hone da, isde andar usda beej hai. Parmatma hone da avsar sirf manukhan kol hai.
“Ehi tera avsar, eh teri baar
Ghat bheetar tu kar bichaar”
“Bhai prapat maanukh dehoriya
Gobind milann ki eh teri bariya”
