What is the Khalsa? Five perspectives

Please subscribe, "like", 'share' and join our "basics of Sikhi" FB group.
In this video we look at five complementary perspectives on the Khalsa. All Sikhs and many westerners are familiar with this word but still the conversation tends to focus on the physical outward form of the Khalsa. This video look beyond into the ideal of the Khalsa and its role.

In April 1699 Guru Gobind Rai, the 10th Guru of the Sikhs, called all Sikhs together to Anandpur, Punjab. He stood on a stage in front of 10s of thousands of Sikhs, with a raised sword and asked if anyone was prepared to give their head for the Faith. Bhai Daya stepped forward and to all present, it looked like Guru ji had just beheaded him. The 10th Guru demanded another head and now Bhai Dharam gave his head. After five such Sikhs had given their heads, the Tenth Guru then prepared Amrit (Nectar of Immortality) by reciting Five important prayers whilst stirring water in a cast iron bowl using a Khanda (double edged sword). As he was doing so, his wife, Mata Jito ji, added sugar crystals. Once the five prayers were done and the Amrit was ready, Guruji then brought out the five whom had given their head. They were now as if revived from the dead and were adorned with Turbans, Swords, Breeched Shorts and Iron Bangles. Guruji gave them Amrit to drink five times, sprinkled it in their eyes five times and in their hair five times, whilst each time they were to say,
"Vaheguru ji ka Khalsa, Vaheguru ji ki Fateh"
They were proclaimed as the Punj Piare, (five beloved) and were given the surname, Singh and told they were re-born into the Gurus own family. The Khalsa was called the Guru Khalsa, the physical Guru henceforth. Guru Gobind Rai now asked them to adminster Amrit to him too and let him join the Khalsa. He was now called Guru Gobind Singh, forever to the remembered as the Guru who became the Disciple of his Disciples. In this way, by devolving the physical Guruship to the Guru Khalsa collective, the Sikh faith was no longer to follow any individual physical Guru, but to take guidance from the writings and wisdom of all 10 Gurus and follow the code of conduct prescribed on that day. This video goes into the broader themes given to the Khalsa on that day.

[@lainstonge6228]

Could please make a video on how you feel about people converting to Sikhism? I would love to hear your opinion.

[@basicsofsikhi]

+Lain St Onge People are more than welcome to follow Guruji. If you call that conversion then thats your choice. Someone who becomes a Sikh doesnt then abandon respect for the truth that other religions have inside them.

ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ ਮੇਰੋ ਰੂਪ ਹੈ ਖ਼ਾਸ ॥ ਖ਼ਾਲਸੇ ਮਹਿ ਹੌ ਕਰੌ ਨਿਵਾਸ ॥ ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ ਮੇਰੋ ਮੁਖ ਹੈ ਅੰਗਾ ॥ ਖ਼ਾਲਸੇ ਕੇ ਹੌਂ ਸਦ ਸਦ ਸੰਗਾ ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ ਮੇਰੋ ਇਸ਼† ਸੁਹਿਰਦ ॥ ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ ਮੇਰੋ ਕਹੀਅਤ ਬਿਰਦ ॥ ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ ਮੇਰੋ ਪਛ ਅਰ ਪਾਤਾ ॥ ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ ਮੇਰੋ ਸੁਖ ਅਹਿਲਾਦਾ ॥ ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ ਮੇਰੋ ਮਿੱਤਰ ਸਖਾਈ ॥ ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ ਮਾਤ ਪਿਤਾ ਸੁਖਦਾਈ ॥
