Nature of Sikhism

The khanda is the symbol of Sikhism. Sikhs have 5 different beliefs known as the Five Ks which they should practice:

  • Kesh (hair, God has given it to you to keep so why shave it)
  • Kanga (a comb to keep all of your long hair clean and hygienic)
  • Kirpan (a sword to defend yourself; some people wear a necklace which has a miniature kirpan on it)
  • Kachera (plain white cotton undergarment - reminds the wearer of high character and modesty)
  • Kara (a metal bracelet which reminds a Sikh of honest living )

Famous quotes containing the word nature:

    Perestroika basically is creating material incentives for the individual. Some of the comrades deny that, but I can’t see it any other way. In that sense human nature kinda goes backwards. It’s a step backwards. You have to realize the people weren’t quite ready for a socialist production system.
    Gus Hall (b. 1910)
