I am a Sikh. Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the first guru of ten, had a revelation in 1499 and said "there is no Hindu notMuslim. Only God". The core of our beliefs are: - belief in ONE god, just god. Allah=Christian God=Ram= One God, Vaheguru -honest living -sharing of others -reciting and remembering the name of God -selfless service The Sikh Brotherhood known as the Khalsa was created by Guru Gobind Singh Ji, the tenth and last human guru. He baptized 5 Sikhs who would risk there lives for the guru on Vaisakhi 1699. These 5 are known as the Panj Payareh (5 beloved ones) these five had the 5 khakhars, the 5 articles of faith guruji said every sikh should try to keep and every baptized sikh must have - Kara ~a steel bracelet. It symbolizes the strength of loving God. Also the bracelet in a circle shape presents God's eternal being. Almost all Sikhs wear these on the right hand. It serves as a reminder not to commit wrong deeds. Back in the sikh wars it was used as an wristguard. -Kesh ~Uncut hair. Hair is seen as a gift from God and it is seen as a sin to cut it. Because it is hard to maintain this and it is a million degrees in india Sikhs outside of India cut their hair to stay with the Western lifestyle. This Uncut hair is anywhere on the body including facial hair. Long hair is tied into a topknot and then covered with a bandana called a patka. Older Sikhs after the teenage years wear a turban to cover their head. Women are also permitted to keep facial hair but it is very hard with modern stereotypes and judgement. -Kanga ~a small wooden comb used to rid of the tangles of the hair. It's a sign of cleanliness and order in life. -Kachera ~loose short under garments tied with a fitted string around the waist. It is worn to control sexual desire (kaam) Back in the wars it was used like an under Armour allowing warriors to move quickly with agility -Kirpan ~ A ceremonial dagger. Most controvetsial. Baptized Sikhs wear this to protect others from injustice, it is only used for defensive purposes and is never used for offensive purposes. Very tolerant religion.
