1. khalsa

   Khalsa is a term used in Sikhism that translates to "pure." It is used to refer to both an individual who has undergone the sacred Amrit Ceremony initiated by the 10th Guru, Guru Gobind Singh, and to the collective body of all initiated Sikhs. The Khalsa is committed to maintaining a high moral character, engaging in selfless service, and upholding the beliefs and practices of Sikhism. They follow a strict code of conduct, including maintaining the Five Ks: Kesh (uncut hair), Kara (a steel bracelet), Kanga (a wooden comb), Kaccha (cotton undergarments), and Kirpan (a strapped curved sword).

1. Khalsa

   Khalsa is the collective body of all initiated Sikhs represented by the five beloved-ones and can be called the Guru Panth, the embodiment of the Guru and the final temporal Guru/leader of the Sikhs. The word Khalsa translates to "Sovereign/Free". Another interpretation is that of being "Pure/Genuine.” The Khalsa was inaugurated on March 30, 1699, by Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru. From then on the temporal leadership of the Sikhs was passed on to the Khalsa with the bestowed title of "Guru Panth" and spiritual leadership was passed on to the Guru Granth Sahib with the Khalsa being responsible for all executive, military and civil authority in the Sikh society. The Khalsa is also called the nation of the Sikhs. The Sikhs of the Khalsa can be identified with the given Five Ks and titles of Singh and Kaur. This happens after being baptized to the order of the Khalsa. The tenth Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh at an event which coincided with the Vaisakhi day in the year 1699 at Kesgarh, in Anandpur initiated that every Sikh becomes Amritdhari “[Having taken Amrit]” and follow the Five Ks; which are not merely symbols but display commitment to the philosophy of Guru Nanak Dev like a uniform of an organization.
