The Five Ks

Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa

Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh!

The five Ks given to us by our father Guru Gobind Singh Ji, are still very important.

The Kara, in a wedding ceremony the ring is worn to symbolize the link between husband and wife, in the Amrit ceremony the Kara is the link between Sikh and Guru.

The Kesh, it seems like it is even more important today because everyone just blindly follows the norms in society. Man cuts hair on head but not on body, woman grows hair on head and cuts on body. !???! Our Guru wanted us to keep our body "natural", as God made them.

The Kanga goes with the hair, obviously to keep it neat and clean.

The Kachhera is a reminder to us to always be pure and fight temptations against lust.

The Kirpan, the Sikh ceremonial sword, "Kirpa" means act of kindness or seva and "aan" means honor and respect. The Kirpan reminds us of the countless Singhs and Kaurs who gave up their heads to fight for justice. Even in the darkest times the Khalsa sword (Kirpan) never stopped shinning.
