Khalsa
"Literally "belonging only to the divine"
The term is derived from the land specially reserved for the family of Mughal emprors of India. It was the most fertile land and looked after personally by the empror.it appears therefore to mean"close or beloved to God". Khalsa mero roop hai khas, khalsa maen haon kroh niwas. The idea of purity and pollution is foreign to sikhism and does not apply to an army(akalpurukh ki fauj.)
The collective body of all initiated Sikhs, who drink the amrit instituted by 10th Guru of Sikhs, Guru Gobind Singh, and agree to live by the highest ideals of Sikh principles. Committed to one's own purity of consciousness and actions
The Profile
The Profile of Khalsa was envisioned by Guru Nanak as IDOLs of TRUTH god ,and formally documented in the begning of holy SatGur in the Theology of Sikhism encapsulated in Mool Mantar.
- Should thou seek to engage in the game of love, step on to my path with thy head placed in thy palm.
- While on this path thou set thy feet, then lay down thy head and mind ungrudgingly…...-SatGur Nanak
It was about 200 Years later,when Guru Gobind Singh formally declared Khalsa as ONE Nation.The Nation encompassing the entire Humanity as reflection of one univeral all prevasive & All-in-One one 'TRUTH' alias GOD irrespective of any cast/creed/racial discrimination.
