Birth Of Khalsa Panth

Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru, established the Dal Khalsa in 1699. The Mughal Empire ruled much of India at the time, and the empire's Islamic rulers persecuted and oppressed Sikhs. Thus, Guru Gobind Singh chose to make a group of Sikhs who might be focused on guarding the Sikh confidence and battling for equity and opportunity.

Guru Gobind Singh urged his followers to gather at Anandpur Sahib, a city in India's Punjab region, on Vaisakhi in 1699. He made a special request to the crowd there and asked for volunteers who were willing to give up their own lives for the greater good. The Panj Pyare, or Five Beloved Ones, were five Sikhs who stepped forward. They were the first ones to be incorporated into the Khalsa by Guru Gobind Singh during the Amrit Sanchar ceremony.

During the function, Guru Gobind Singh mixed water with a blade that cuts both ways while recounting holy songs, making sweet nectar known as Amrit. The five Sikhs drank from the Amrit. They were given the surname Singh, which means "lion," in recognition of their bravery and dedication to the Khalsa. After that, Guru Gobind Singh himself drank from the Amrit and declared that the Khalsa would be the Sikh faith's embodiment and the defenders of justice and righteousness from that point forward.

Khalsa's Five K's

  • Kirpan: Sword: As a reminder of their obligation to defend the weak and fight for justice, Khalsa Sikhs carry a small sword known as a kirpan.

The Five Ks are a visible representation of the Khalsa's identity. They serve as a reminder of the Khalsa's adherence to Sikh ideals like equality, justice, and charity. They remind Khalsa Sikhs to uphold the values of Sikhism in their daily lives and are a symbol of those values.

Significance Of Discipline, Commitment, And Administration In Khalsa
