GURU GOBIND SINGH - GURU FROM 1675 TO 1708
He was born in 1666 He created the Khalsa (The Pure Ones) in
1699. The special clothes that Sikhs wear, the 5Ks, date from this
time. Just before Guru Gobind Singh died he said that there would
be no more human Gurus, instead the future Guru would be a book.
The book - the Guru Granth Sahib would contain all of the Sikh
teachings and beliefs.

taken.

THE KHALSA
Today, Sikhs who wish to become members of the Khalsa show their
commitment and dedication by taking part in the Amrit Sanskar ceremony.
This ceremony initiates them into the Khalsa.
The five Ks
The five Ks are five items that are worn on the body. They can be
considered a uniform for Amritdhari Sikhs, also called ‘Khalsa Sikhs’.
These Sikhs outwardly show their commitment to the Sikh faith to
others. However, many Sahajdhari Sikhs (Sikhs who have not gone
through the Amrit Sanskar ceremony) often wear some or all of the five
Ks too.
