ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Founding the Khalsa

In 1699, the Guru requested the Sikhs to congregate at Anandpur on Vaisakhi (the annual spring harvest festival)According to
the Sikh tradition, he asked for a volunteer. One came forward, whom he took inside a tent. The Guru returned to the crowd
alone, with a bloody sword.He asked for another volunteer, and repeated the same process of returning from the tent without
anyone and with a bloodied sword four more times. After the fifth volunteer went with him into the tent, the Guru returned
with all five volunteers, all safe. He called them the Panj Pyare and the first Khalsa in the Sikh tradition.
Guru Gobind Singh then mixed water and sugar into an iron bowl, stirring it with a double-edged sword to prepare what he
called Amrit ("nectar"). He then administered this to the Panj Pyare, accompanied with recitations from the Adi Granth, thus
founding the khande ka pahul (baptization ceremony) of a Khalsa – a warrior community. The Guru also gave them a new
surname "Singh" (lion). After the first five Khalsa had been baptized, the Guru asked the five to baptize him as a Khalsa. This
made the Guru the sixth Khalsa, and his name changed from Guru Gobind Rai to Guru Gobind Singh.
Kanga, Kara and Kirpan – three of the five Ks

Guru Gobind Singh initiated the Five K's tradition of the Khalsa,

● Kesh: uncut hair.

● Kangha: a wooden comb.
● Kara: an iron or steel bracelet worn on the wrist.
● Kirpan: a sword or dagger.
● Kacchera: short breeches.
CONTRIBUTION TO
MANKIND/SOCIETY

Guru Gobind Singh succeeded his father Guru Tegh Bahadur at the age of 9. His teachings
were different from his predecessors' - he believed that no power could exploit the Sikhs.

He spent his childhood years studying Persian and Sanskrit, and was skilled in the art of
war. His mission was to uphold right in every place and destroy sin and evil. In 1699 he
chose the festival day of Vaisakhi as the occasion to transform the Sikhs into the Khalsa, a
family of soldier saints.

Guru Gobind Singh introduced many of the customs that Sikhs practise today.

Sikhs who have been through the Amrit ceremony of initiation become Amritdhari,
initiated Sikhs. They take new names and wear the 5 Ks - five physical symbols that Sikhs
must wear.

He declared the the Sikh holy book as his successor instead of a human being. The Guru
Granth Sahib would thus be the Sikhs' guide forever. Sikhs give it the same status and
respect as a human Guru.

You should stand against injustice, and simultaneously, be
compassionate within you, like a saint.
“Everyone is equal”
The differences are only created by humans.
“Humanity ”
All inhabitants of this world have one common caste.
“Be mindful of your speech” He
was against gossiping of any kind, and taught people to not slander
others or speak bitterly about others even in private.
“Serve humanity”
That one should employ all means necessary to help people.
“Power of love”
Only those who have loved shall attain Divinity.
