2. “O my Sikhs, you know
not what great need I
have for the heads of my
Sikhs, come on my sons,
taste the cup of life giving
death”
Sri Gobind Singh Ji 1699
3. What it means to be Amritdhari
• One is to inspire, just as Guru Ji did
• One is to over come the 5 Evils
• One is to preserve truth
• That one has made a promise to Guru to live the
life as Guru Ji said.
• Are you doing that?
4. Call of Faith
Is their any sikh among you all who
is ready to lay down his life at a call
from me? I need a head!
1st call silence
2nd call silence
After the 3rd call bhai Daya ram
stepped forward.
From then on Guru Gobind Singh Ji
said, “Forsake the opinion of the
public(on the image of a Sikh) and
follow the pursuit of truth and self-
less service(seva).”
5. Guru Gobind Singh` then states that the Sikhs MUST keep
Singh(male) or Kaur(Female) to eliminate any caste system
and so that the teaching of Guru Nanak on equality are
preserved.
6. The 5 Ks
• Guru Gifted the 5 ks upon us, as a reminder of the
teaching of Guru ji.
• Kara- what you are about to do, would it be against the
law of which Guru stated?
• Kachera- control over Lust, and so that they are ready.
• Kanga- just as lose hair falls out, so will this material
world, and to keep the kesh clean.
• Kirpan- to preserve the truth, the even means not to lie.
• Kesh- Showing God that his creation is complete and
perfect.
7. Gurmukh
• Some Singhs asked Guru Gobind Singh “if
we want to do your darshan, how should
we do it?”
• He said do the darshan of just one
Gursikh and you have my darshan!
• Are you that Gursikh?
8. Even Guru Gobind Singh Said to the Panj Piare
“give me the Amrit that you have been given”
So we really can say that it is a gift that Guru Ji gave us.
9. On a final note, right now and today, can we say that Guru Nanaks’
mission is/has been completed? Or have we wondered from the path
again.
Just ask Shri Guru Granth Sahib if you want answers.
