What It Is
April 13 or 14 — the day in 1699 Guru Gobind Singh formed the Khalsa, the community of the pure, giving the Sikhs their distinctive identity and articles of faith.
How to Observe It
Consider the Five Ks and what they still teach: uncut hair (accepting what is), a comb (order), a small sword (courage to defend the vulnerable), a steel bracelet (bond to truth), simple undergarments (readiness). Which do you need today?
