The 5 K's in Sikhs Life




The Five K's, along with the turban, constitute the Khalsa uniform, which distinguishes a Sikh from any other person in the world, and is essential for preserving the life of the community and fostering the Khalsa brotherhood.

The Five K's are not supposed to foster exclusiveness or superiority. They are meant to keep the Sikhs united in the pursuit of the aims and ideals of the Gurus. They enable them to keep their vows made at the time of baptism. The Sikhs have been known to face torture and death rather than cut their hair or remove any of the sacred symbols.

The Khalsa cannot be anonymous. His religion is known to all. He stands out among people, and any unseemly behaviour or action on his part would be noted as unbecoming of a follower of the Gurus. People would easily blame him if he deviated from the disciplinary code of Guru Gobind Singh.





KANGA
Comb. A symbol of hygiene and discipline as opposed to the matted un-kept hair of ascetics. A Khalsa is expected to regularly wash and comb their hair as a matter of self discipline.




KIRPAN
Ceremonial Sword. A symbol of dignity and the Sikh struggle against injustice. It is worn purely as a religious symbol and not as a weapon. When all other means of self protection fail, the Kirpan can be used to protect yourself or others against the enemy.




KARA
Iron bracelet. A symbol to remind the wearer of restraint in their actions and remembrance of God at all times. Every Khalsa is enjoined to wear the Kara on the right wrist. The Kara being circular in shape, symbolises wheel which itself, when viewed in the background of Indian heritage, simultaneously stands for Dharma and Chakarvarti Raja (universal monarch). Therefore Kara manifests two meanings, eternal and temporal and the Khalsa is enjoined to imbibe both.    





KACHHERA
Drawers. A symbol signifying self control and chastity. Every member of the Khalsa must must wear a Kachhera, in order to cover not only the genitals, but it should also cover the thighs up to the knees. The covering of the genitals enjoins him/her to live under the strict discipline of self control. Also the Kachhera stands to repudiate the idea of nudity so dear to Indian asceticism. The Sikh religion advocates, instead, all round development of one's personality possible only when adhering to social norms as a balanced social being. It also allows freedom of movement, which is especially required during time of battle.




KESH
Long unshorn hair. A symbol of spirituality. The Kesh reminds a Khalsa to behave like the Guru's. It is a mark of dedication and group consciousness, showing a Khalsa's acceptance of God's will. Long hair have long been a common element of many spiritual prophets of various religions such as Jesus, Moses and Buddha.

Maa da pyaar milda ae naseeba waleya nu,
Duniya vich ni isda bazaar hunda

Eh rishta ae rabb diya rehmata da,
Har rishta ni aina wafadar hunda

Os ghar to changa shamshaan loko,
Jithhe Maa da nahi satkaar hunda

7 janma tak nahi laah sakda,
Putt maa da inna karzdaar hunda

Karni sikh layo loko kadar maa di,
Maa de charna to rabb da deedar hunda

Panja Sahib Gurdwara


After traveling through Middle East and many other countries, the Guru reached a place called Hassan Abdal. It is about fifty kilometers from Rawalpindi in Pakistan. Guru Ji stayed at Hassan Abdal near the foothills. People came to know about Guru Ji and began to gather around him. Guru Ji talked to them about God. He told them the greatness of God and His creation. Numerous people began to gather around him every day.
A Muslim Priest lived on the top of a hill. His name was Bawa Wali Qandhari. His house was near a spring of fresh water. The water flowed down to the town from spring on top of the hill near Wali's house. The spring was the only source of water for the town. People relied on the spring to carry their basic needs.



Wali Qandhari was an arrogant person. When he saw people gathering around Guru Nanak instead of his place, he became very jealous and angry. He stopped the spring water from flowing down to the town. The people became frustrated. How could they and their cattle live without water? A group of them went to Bawa Wali Qandhari and begged him to let the water flow down as before. Bawa Wali Qandhari in full anger said, "Go to your Guru, the one you visit everyday and ask for water from him." The poeple went to the Guru and told him the whole story. Guru Ji said, “Don't lose your heart, trust in God. God will not let you die of thirst”. Guru Ji then asked Bhai Mardana to go and appeal to Bawa Wali Qandhari and request him to let the water flow down to the town. When Bhai Mardana went to the top of the hill, Bawa Wali Qandhari shouted angrily, “Go back to your Guru and ask him to give water to the people.”




Bhai Mardana returned to the Guru and narrated what Bawa Wali Qandhari said to him. The Guru sent him once again but Mardana came back with the same story. People got more and more frustrated each second. The Guru said, “Don't lose your heart. God is great and merciful. God can make springs flow from whereever He wishes. Let us all pray to Him.” They all prayed. Then Guru Nanak Dev Ji lifted a stone. At once, a stream of fresh water began to flow from the place Guru lifted the stone.
At the same time, Bawa Wali Qanhari's spring dried up. He was filled with anger and pushed a large rock from the top of the hill towards the Guru. The rock came rolling down towards the Guru. Bawa Wali Qanhari thought that the rock would crush Guru Ji to death but the Guru quietly raised his hand and the rock stopped at the instant it struck Guru’s hand. Guru ji’s hand was imprinted on the rock. Bawa Wali Qundhari's pride was broken. He came down and fell at the Guru's feet. The Guru said, “Rise my friend. Live as devotees of God should live. Be kind and share with everyone” The rock still exists. There is a beautiful Gurdwara at that place called the Panja Sahib

kabar teri te phull vaderre,par phull ne murjhayye,

ajj uth ve bol warisa, eh dooji dhi diyan aakhiya nu hanju kivve bhayee

bara samjhaya tainu
samjh nai aya tainu
ta tu kerda ay dildarian
tere te gila ay sanu
paglan dila we kanu
la laiyan tu yaarian

is manzil bal jaan giya ye
phad laiyan jo rawan
twadi akarein phad ditte ne
kadi maneya ne sawan

haarch hawawan utte
badal diya chawan utte
kadiya ne dawedarian
tere te gila ay sanu
paglan dila we kanu
la laiyan tu yaarian

ongre wayre mohabbatan ditan
rakhiye wadan laa kay
tere jaina dan dina baiy
janday jara katta kay
banda deewana dila
ghumda zamana dila
hattan vich lay ka aariyan
tere te gila ay sanu
paglan dila we kanu
la laiyan tu yaarian

kon tere agge roop ju tainu
kon sambalu lariya
chand tera jad raj ka akiye
hor kithay ja chariya
kila kila sukh sukh
rona painda luk luk
hooto ke bhoohay baarian
tere te gila ay sanu
paglan dila we kanu
la laiyan tu yaarian

la laiyan tu yaarian
la laiyan tu yaarian
la laiyan tu yaarian

vekhea menu ohnda..ehmi nahi boldi main :hehe:

Dheeyan walea nu dheeya di Kadar hundi
Ohi jaahnde dheeyan da pyar ki hai,
jehna ne na dheeya kade jameea ne
ohna lai vichore di maar ki hai,
pathar dil vi jad vekhda dhee turdi
neer uhsdia akhia cho chauh pehnde
Soh rabb di je Rabb nu pehndi dhee torni
hanju uhsdia akhia cho vi choh pehnde

Assi tere Dil vich nahi tere kadma ch rehna
Uhs Rabb diya nahi, teriya Ramja ch rehna
Na dunyia ch rehna, na Kabra ch rehna
ANKHI ne Saah Banke TERE Sahaan vich rehna..
