Even though he earned 800 rupees and all his meals, he was less contented than before. He was not happy working at the tea stall because he had lost the freedom of working at his own terms. Saheb had left rag picking and he took up a job at a nearby tea-stall. He was born in a Hindu family to father Hiranand and was named Natthu Ram. He was a grammarian, author, scholar and theologian. Sahib Singh (Gurmukhi: ਸਾਹਿਬ ਸਿੰਘ) (16 February 1892 – 29 October 1977) was a Sikh academic who made a contribution to Sikh literature. By being identifiable, no Sikh could never hide behind cowardice again.B.A. These symbols, worn by all baptised Sikhs of both sexes, are popularly known today as Five K's: kesh, unshorn hair Kanga, the wooden comb Karra, the iron (or steel) bracelet Kirpan, the sword and Kachera, the underwear. He also offered five emblems of purity and courage. The Guru gave the gift of bana, the distinctive Sikh clothing and headwear. He then proclaimed that the Panj Pyare - the Five Beloved Ones - would be the embodiment of the Guru himself.Īt the same time the Guru gave his new Khalsa a unique, indisputable, and distinct identity. Then the Guru asked the first five Khalsa Sikhs to baptise him, in the same manner. The ceremony was called pahul, what Sikhs today know as the baptism ceremony or Amrit Shakna. Thinking their Guru had gone mad and afraid He would ask for more heads some of the congregation started to disperse when suddenly the Guru emerged with all five men dressed piously in white and in a new ceromony that changed the way that one became a Sikh the Guru now initiated the five into a new and unique order of Sikhs. Every time the Guru took a person inside the tent, he came out with his sword dripping fresh blood. One by one four more earnest devotees offered their heads. A little later the Guru came out of the tent, his sword dripping with fresh blood only to ask for another head. After some trepidation one person offered himself for the Guru's 'great sacrifice'. After his inspirational discourse, he flashed his unsheathed sword and said that every great deed was preceded by an equally great sacrifice: Then calling out to the assembled crowd, 'My sword is hungry for a head', He demanded one head for oblation. The Guru addressed the congregants with a most stirring oration on his divine mission of restoring their faith and preserving the Sikh religion. History from On Vaisakhi Day, March 30, 1699, hundreds of thousands of people gathered around his divine temporal seat at Anandpur Sahib. Congratulations to everyone and we hope that you enjoy the celebrations wherever you are. Today is the Anniversary of the Founding of the Khalsa.
