On the day of Baisakhi in the year 1699,
Guru Gobind Singh offered 5 emblems of purity
and courage known as Five Ks:
Kesh - the unshorn hair
Kangha - the wooden comb
Kara - the iron (or steel) bracelet
Kirpan - the sword and
Kashara - the underwear.
By being identifiable, no Sikh could never hide behind cowardice again.
May the Guru give you courage and strength to fight the evil and stand always by truth!
Happy Baisakhi!
