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:
“The poet’s, commonly, is not a logger’s path, but a woodman’s. The logger and pioneer have preceded him, like John the Baptist; eaten the wild honey, it may be, but the locusts also; banished decaying wood and the spongy mosses which feed on it, and built hearths and humanized Nature for him.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
