Slide 17:Articles of Faith

Kesh - uncut hair: Sikhs do not cut hair or beards to remain in the image that god gave humans. Kuchha – under-shorts (boxers) to represent modesty and fidelity. Kanga - comb, made of wood - to keep uncut hair neat and clean. Kara - bracelet, made of steel worn on right hand –a reminder of noble actions, a symbol of eternity. Kirpan - ceremonial small knife symbolizing freedom, liberty and justice, used in self- defense or the defense of others, never in offense. Sikhs can be identified by their Articles of faith. We call them the 5 K’s. Kesh (uncut hair), often kept covered by a distinctive turban, a symbol of strength and God’s creation; Kaccha (under-shorts), symbolizing modesty and fidelity. These all have deeply religious meanings for Sikhs, and we appreciate it when others show appropriate respect for our symbols of faith. Kanga (comb), meant to promote our neat and respectful appearance; and Kara (metal bracelet), symbolizing equality and eternity; Kirpan (ceremonial sword), symbolizing our dedication to protecting liberty; In addition to the Sikh symbols of faith and our requirement to work hard, remember God and share with others, Sikhs also have a list of activities they are not to engage in – adultery; consuming tobacco, alcohol or other intoxicants; or cutting their hair.

Head coverings originating in the Middle East are typically of a different style and are worn for different reasons. The Sikh turban is a long piece of cloth wrapped neatly around the head several times and looking like a football from the side. Sikhs wear turbans as symbols and reminders of their core values: discipline, honesty, integrity, ethics, spirituality and humility, and to distinguish their unique identity as protectors of the values they revere. The turban covers the uncut hair - another physical attribute of Sikh spirituality. A Sikh wears a turban because he is proud of being a Sikh, and proud of the values that Sikhism represents – including defense of the innocent, equality of gender, race, caste, and creed, and community service. Today, a fellow American who sees a person wearing a turban in America should feel a sense of security, knowing that every Sikh is honor-bound to stand against tyranny and protect all those who need their help.

Slide 22:The Sikh religion was founded by Guru Nanak, who was born in 1469 AD To give a point of reference, Columbus came to America in 1492. Thus, compared to Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism and Islam, it is the youngest and the most modern of the religions being practiced today. Guru Nanak and the nine Gurus, who succeeded him, set a wonderful example of living spiritually, while yet taking an active and secular part in the world. The Gurus provided guidance to the Sikhs for 239 years. They taught the basic values of Kirat Karni, Naam Japna, and Vand Chhakna. These three concepts in a nut-shell, describe how a Sikh balances the spiritual part of life with the material one.

It was embellished with marble and gold leaf by Maharaja Ranjit Singh in the 1800’s, and is now known, in English, as the Golden Temple. Over the years, the Harmandir Sahib has been the symbol of Sikh sentiments, as it has been repeatedly razed, bombed by those wanting to quell the Sikhs, or to coerce them into conversion to other faiths.

Slide 24:The Tenth and the last Guru, Guru Gobind Singh (1666-1708AD) initiated the Sikh Baptism ceremony in 1699 AD; and thus gave a distinctive identity to the Sikhs. He unveiled the concept of Khalsa (“the sovereign individual”) in 1699, declaring the Sikhi to be the order of the saint-soldiers always ready to stand up and even take up arms against anyone who acted against Waheguru’s Will or forced others to do so. Guru Gobind Singh prescribed five articles of faith which a Sikh is supposed to always keep on his person. These five articles are commonly known as Panj Kakars or the 'Five Ks' because they start with letter K representing alphabet Kakka (k) in the Punjabi language. Shortly before passing away the Guru ordained that Guru Granth Sahib, the Sikh Holy Scripture would be the ultimate spiritual authority for the Sikhs.

Slide 47:9/11 Poem

ONE As the soot and dirt and ash rained down, We became one color. As we carried each other down the stairs of the burning building, We became one class. As we lit candles of waiting and hope, We became one generation. As the firefighters and police officers fought their way into the inferno, We became one gender. As we fell to our knees in prayer for strength, We became one faith. We are One color One class One generation One gender One faith One language One body One family One soul One people We are The Power of One. We are United. We are America. -Author, Unknown As we whispered or shouted words of encouragement, We spoke one language. As we gave our blood in lines a mile long, We became one body. As we mourned together the great loss, We became one family. As we cried tears of grief and loss, We became one soul. As we retell with pride of the sacrifice of heros, We become one people.
