We are Sikhs of the Shabad Guru delivered to the Panth by Guru Gobind Singh
It is a blessing for the international members of Sikh Dharma International to come to India and experience the holy places where Sikh Gurus have spread their teachings.
There was an echo of laughter in the streets of Patna 350 years ago, when the amazing soul of Guru Gobind Singh Ji was born.
Shanti Kaur Khalsa explains why Sikhs don't cut their hair. Cutting the hair is one of the co-rehets, meaning Guru Gobind Singh commanded that Sikhs shouldn't do it. The hair (kesh) is also one of the 5 k's. The hair channels spiritual energy in action, which helps people in the householder lifestyle.
The Siri Guru Granth Sahib gives us 'Shaant Ras' - peaceful essence. And Dasam Bani (The writings of Guru Gobind Singh) gives us 'Bir Ras' - warrior spirit. For example Jaap Sahib energizes us and fills you with courage.
