    khanda also means death-
    the amrit is metaphorically stired with death - how can a sikh fear death if they have drank the amrit stired with a khanda
    the entire ceremony and kakkars have a deep spritual meaning.
    e.g the karra being round- representing god- god has no begining or ending
    the sword to protect all people regardless of religion race gender etc..
    the ideal sikh is a saint soldier- first a saint, then a soldier

    khalsa is not a sect
    all sikhs folow the same religions and it does not have denominations
    sikhs are either khalsa- or non khalsa, khalsa following all the reheat maradyas and code of conduct of sikhism.
    alot of sikhs look amritdhari as they might keep long hair, and wear a karra, and not the other k's
    sikhism rejects ritials- and superstitions -
    this is a ceremony not a ritual.
    the double edged sword represents god destructive and creative powers.
    the swords is called the khanda

    The 5 K's are:
    Kirpan (a dagger)
    Kesa (uncut hair)
    Kangha (comb)
    Kacch (short pants)
    Kara (a steel bracelet worn on the right wrist)

      Soooo true! Sikhi is a Religion not sect. Ceremony not ritual. The true deeper meanings of khanda double edged sword and other key markers are not represented well. This is preschool level of education. Shame on this poorly executed lame attempt of introducing anyone to a understanding of what it is to be a Sikh and the Khalsa.

    • @charlenekaur4113
      @charlenekaur4113 5 років тому

      Some believe that Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj gave the keski or turban as one of the 5ks where as keeping Kesh is not a Kakkar but a vow not to cut it is a Sikh vow in general and required of the Khalsa. So you see nowadays, very few Amritdhari women are not wearing Keski or rumal or some type of Dumalla. But you do not have to be Amritdhari to wear a turban.

      The ਸਿੰਘ speaking is Bhai Joginder Singh Ji Talwara of AKJ. Sikhs of AKJ for them Keski (small Turban) is the Kakar instead of kes. Because Kes is kept regardless.

    وَقَالَ
    رَجُلٌ مُّؤْمِنٌ مِّنْ آلِ فِرْعَوْنَ يَكْتُمُ إِيمَانَهُ أَتَقْتُلُونَ رَجُلاً
    أَن يَقُولَ رَبِّيَ اللَّهُ وَقَدْ جَاءكُم بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ مِن رَّبِّكُمْ وَإِن
    يَكُ كَاذِباً فَعَلَيْهِ كَذِبُهُ وَإِن يَكُ صَادِقاً يُصِبْكُم بَعْضُ الَّذِي
    يَعِدُكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي مَنْ هُوَ مُسْرِفٌ كَذَّابٌ
    A believer, a man from
    among the people of Pharaoh, who had concealed his faith, said: "Will ye
    slay a man because he says, 'My Lord is Allah'?- when he has indeed come to you
    with Clear (Signs) from your Lord? and if he be a liar, on him is (the sin of)
    his lie: but, if he is telling the Truth, then will fall on you something of
    the (calamity) of which he warns you: Truly Allah guides not one who
    transgresses and lies!
    يَا قَوْمِ
    لَكُمُ الْمُلْكُ الْيَوْمَ ظَاهِرِينَ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَمَن يَنصُرُنَا مِن بَأْسِ
    اللَّهِ إِنْ جَاءنَا قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ مَا أُرِيكُمْ إِلَّا مَا أَرَى وَمَا
    أَهْدِيكُمْ إِلَّا سَبِيلَ الرَّشَادِ
    "O my People!
    Yours is the dominion this day: Ye have the upper hand in the land: but who
    will help us from the Punishment of Allah, should it befall us?" Pharaoh
    said: "I but point out to you that which I see (myself); Nor do I guide
    you but to the Path of Right!"
    وَقَالَ
    الَّذِي آمَنَ يَا قَوْمِ إِنِّي أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُم مِّثْلَ يَوْمِ الْأَحْزَابِ
    Then said the man who
    believed: "O my people! Truly I do fear for you something like the Day (of
    disaster) of the Confederates (in sin)!-
    مِثْلَ دَأْبِ
    قَوْمِ نُوحٍ وَعَادٍ وَثَمُودَ وَالَّذِينَ مِن بَعْدِهِمْ وَمَا اللَّهُ يُرِيدُ
    ظُلْماً لِّلْعِبَادِ
    "Something like
    the fate of the People of Noah, the 'Ad, and the Thamud, and those who came
    after them: but Allah never wishes injustice to his Servants.
    وَيَا قَوْمِ
    إِنِّي أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَوْمَ التَّنَادِ
    "And O my people!
    I fear for you a Day when there will be Mutual calling (and wailing),-
    يَوْمَ
    تُوَلُّونَ مُدْبِرِينَ مَا لَكُم مِّنَ اللَّهِ مِنْ عَاصِمٍ وَمَن يُضْلِلِ
    اللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُ مِنْ هَادٍ
    "A Day when ye
    shall turn your backs and flee: No defender shall ye have from Allah: Any whom
    Allah leaves to stray, there is none to guide...
    وَلَقَدْ
    جَاءكُمْ يُوسُفُ مِن قَبْلُ بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ فَمَا زِلْتُمْ فِي شَكٍّ مِّمَّا
    جَاءكُم بِهِ حَتَّى إِذَا هَلَكَ قُلْتُمْ لَن يَبْعَثَ اللَّهُ مِن بَعْدِهِ
    رَسُولاً كَذَلِكَ يُضِلُّ اللَّهُ مَنْ هُوَ مُسْرِفٌ مُّرْتَابٌ
    "And to you there
    came Joseph in times gone by, with Clear Signs, but ye ceased not to doubt of
    the (Mission) for which he had come: At length, when he died, ye said: 'No
    messenger will Allah send after him.' thus doth Allah leave to stray such as
    transgress and live in doubt,-
    الَّذِينَ
    يُجَادِلُونَ فِي آيَاتِ اللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ سُلْطَانٍ أَتَاهُمْ كَبُرَ مَقْتاً
    عِندَ اللَّهِ وَعِندَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كَذَلِكَ يَطْبَعُ اللَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ
    قَلْبِ مُتَكَبِّرٍ جَبَّارٍ
    "(Such) as
    dispute about the Signs of Allah, without any authority that hath reached them,
    grievous and odious (is such conduct) in the sight of Allah and of the
    Believers. Thus doth Allah, seal up every heart - of arrogant and obstinate
    Transgressors."

Of course not All because there always a mix of people in all religions and cultures but the majority of Sadar would protect even a stranger of need help. Sadar ji are on the whole loyal,Kind hearted, Strong in body, mind and spirit and easy to trust. If your in India or anywhere a Sikh will almost always help if needed. They are opposite to cowards and I have much Respect for Sadar ji and their Dharma. Of course I love other people's and religions of India but i needed to point out My feelings about Sikhs...Namaskar Mera Sadar ji Dosti hai ..🙏🙏

    Sikhism is a religion not a Dharma. All the 10 so called Sikh Gurus were Hindus none was Sikh as Sikhism was not there till the last Guru Govind Singh. In fact none was real spiritual Guru. Nanak had not studied the Hindu Shastras and he used to criticize Hinduism as it was beyond his understanding (Samajhdani). Other nine Gurus were simply care taker of Hindu organization to protect Hindus from atrocities of Muslims. No doubt they were brave, sacrificed their lives and children to protect Hindus from Muslims, but not spiritual Guru.

They were formed to fight injustice and not to protect hindus . They were formed against both hinduism and islam.
