Guru Gobind Singh

Guru Gobind Singh, 1666-1708

Guru Gobind Singh was the last of the ten Gurus, the one who transformed the Sikh faith.

In 1699 he created the tradition of ‘Khalsa’, which includes ‘Kesh’ (uncut hair), ‘Kangha’ (a wooden comb), Kara (an iron or steel bracelet worn on the wrist), Kripan (a sword or dagger), and ’Kacchera’ (short breeches). This tradition birthed a new ceremony for Sikh warriors whose duty was to protect people from religious persecution.

This meant that a Khalsa Sikh was given the title of a Singh, whereas a female was called Kaur. The tradition of Khalsa in Guru Gobind’s life became a way of life and the warriors had to follow a very strict code of conduct. Today the Khalsa comprises all practising Sikhs.

He became such a popular name not only because of his skills as a warrior, but because he lived his life to set an example for others. He not only mastered the art of fighting, but also focused on spreading his philosophical teachings in the Sikh community.
