In the past Sikhs had not been distinguishable inappearance from Muslims and Hindus.

The Khalsa uniform was a unique one, Lions andPrincesss to stand out in the crowds of MillionsThe main aim was to create a Panth inwardly and

outwardly pure.

Do we look like Sikhs today?

If not why???

-The Guru called for another head

- Bhai Mohkam Chand steppedforward and gave his head

- Again Guru Ji came out ,

Sword dripping with blood

- Crowds became even thinner

- Next the same stunning demand for another head as Guru Jiquoted:

o my sikhs, you know not, what great need I

have for the heads of my sikhs, come on mysons, taste the cup of life giving death


8/21

Bhai Sahib Chand had stepped forward as the fourth blessed soul to

give his head, he fell at the Gurus feet and said:

O Master I have taken too long to make up my mind. But what could I

do? You have tought us to lead a house holders life, the Householdhad captured my feeble heart. I struggle, Master but the grip proved tootight for a time. It is with your grace that it has been relaxed and I have

shaken off the chains of false love that bound me. I confess it is a graveshort-coming to have tarried so long, But you are Merciful and kind,pardon my past failings and accept this head. It is already yours, whatshall I lose in rendering to what is yours already?


9/21

- Another blow, another thud, the sword streaming with fresh blood

- People in the crowd were praying to Waheguru to cure the Guru

Still, Guru ji came out and called for a fifth head. The call was repeated,no response. On the 3rd call Bhai Himmat Rai bowed his head beforethe Guru and said:

Strike master, and ferry me across this ocean of the deluding world.

This body will not endure, it will fail and fall under the stroke of death.Take my head and ferry me across this ocean of the deluding world.

. The crowd quietly uttered the guru has stayed longer in the tent?Has he returned to normal? No more heads?

The blessed 5 returned from the tent behind the Guru.


10/21

The 5 Beloved ones-Faces beaming with Joy-Dressed like the master?

-Illuminating light glowing from their faces just like the Gurus?-They came out looking like the Guru?

The 5 Pyare gave their Heads. Guru Gobind Singh Jee gave

his whole family.


11/21

- In the past Charan Pahul Amrit was given (Water which the guru hadtouched with his toe)

- Guru Ji explained from from Charan Pahul Amrit to Amrit which has

been stirred with the double edged sword, the Amrit with my spiritdissolved in it

As Guru Nanak spoke amrit is one, without a second

nwnk AMimRqu eyku hY dUjw AMimRqu nwih ]

(SGGS,1238)

Khanda Batte Da Amrit and Charan Pahul Amrit in essence are exactly

the same, just different technique


12/21

Day of Baisakhi 1699-Sangat assembled same spot- 5 beloved ones reciting sacred verses- Guru Ji spoke they who drink the amrit with the divine word and my spiritdissolved in it, they should shed weakness of body, mind and heart and become

brake as lions- I shall change Jackals into Lions- Sparrows into Hawks- All castes become one, A single brotherhood where the lowest is equal to thehighest, one panth, Khalsa panth.

Mata Sahib Kaur came with pataseh (Sugar crystals)

Sweet lady, thou has come at a very opportune moment when thy gift is needed

the most. Power and courage without a ounce of nectar can infuse and becomedangerous, sweetness of the soul is needed. Pour thy sweetness , so that ourdisciples may be blessed not only with power and courage, but also with grace of

womanly sweetness


13/21

After baptising the 5 beloved ones

from today you belong to Khalsa panth, from today you are born in

Gurus house, all your previous comings and goings are ended. Fromtoday you belong to one family, for you are my children in flesh and

spirit, khalsa is your caste, a nation of saint soldiers

(all different castes- 5 beloved ones- play of god)

Guru Ji spoke of our rehet

the first rehet spoke of was

Initiation of a sikh is to drink the ambrosial necter of the double edgedsword. Call yourself not a Sikh without Sikh rehet

The 5 beloved ones has then prepared to administer the Amrit to thesangat


14/21

PROBABLY THE MOST HUMBLE ACT IN HISTORY HAD BEENWITNESSED

Guru ji kneeled before the 5 Pyare with open hands and begged for Amrit


15/21

5 beloved ones hesitated

Guru ji replied Why do you hesitate? I haven given you my form, my

glory, and my appearance. I name you the khalsa, the pure, Almighty's

own. The khalsa is the guru, and the guru is the khalsa. You and I are oneforever. You are my Guru, I am now your disciple, therefore administerthe Ambrosial necter without hesitation

Guru Ji received amrit , and like the names of the 5 beloved ones he alsobecame from Gobind Rai to Gobind Singh- Sikh women were given thename of kaur, a princess

-Thousands of Men and Women were baptised and were given the uniqueappearance- Old distinctions were vanished, caste, inequality, A unique appearanceand a unique panth had been created.

Guru Ji declared that any sikh who observed rehet and lived the true lifecould be competent to baptise others, all would be equal in all aspectsand spheres of life.

Guru Nanak Dev jis mission had been completed. Guru Gobind Singh Ji

knew when he was going to leave his physical body. The ceremony of

1699 was paramount for the sikh faith, from creation of 5 beloved ones tocreation of Guru Granth Sahib ji, formless Shabad, this has enabled growthof Khalsa in all lands, thats why we are here today.

(This was gods will, 1699 was all in thepleasure of God)
