Why was the Khalsa created? Why did Guru Gobind Singh Ji start something so different? The thing is, the seed of the Khalsa was sewed long before the tenth Guru.

The preparations for the Birth of Khalsa Panth in 1699 started from the time of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. During their Guruship, each Guru Sahib built the Khalsa Panth's foundation with values and Rehat (Codes of conduct). In this video, we look at each Guru Sahib's contribution towards the formation of Khalsa Panth.

The Origins of The Khalsa | An Empire in The Making [Vaisakhi Katha Part 1]

12th September 2014
Dhrupad in Raag Bihagra - Bhai Kultar Singh Ji Ragi and Bhai Swaran Singh Ji, at Royal Leamington Spa.

ਰਾਗੁ ਬਿਹਾਗੜਾ ਚਉਪਦੇ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ਘਰੁ ੨ ॥
Raag Bihaagraa, Chau-Padas, Fifth Mehl, Second House:
ਦੂਤਨ ਸੰਗਰੀਆ ॥
To associate with your arch enemies,
ਭੁਇਅੰਗਨਿ ਬਸਰੀਆ ॥
is to live with poisonous snakes;
ਅਨਿਕ ਉਪਰੀਆ ॥੧॥
I have made the effort to shake them off. ||1||

ਤਉ ਮੈ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਕਰੀਆ ॥Then, I repeated the Name of the Lord, Har, Har,
ਤਉ ਸੁਖ ਸਹਜਰੀਆ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
and I obtained celestial peace. ||1||Pause||

ਮਿਥਨ ਮੋਹਰੀਆ ॥
False is the love of,
ਅਨ ਕਉ ਮੇਰੀਆ ॥
many emotional attachments,
ਵਿਚਿ ਘੂਮਨ ਘਿਰੀਆ ॥੨॥
which suck the mortal into the whirlpool of reincarnation. ||2||

ਸਗਲ ਬਟਰੀਆ ॥
All are travelers,
ਬਿਰਖ ਇਕ ਤਰੀਆ ॥
who have gathered under the world-tree,
ਬਹੁ ਬੰਧਹਿ ਪਰੀਆ ॥੩॥
and are bound by their many bonds. ||3||
ਥਿਰੁ ਸਾਧ ਸਫਰੀਆ ॥
Eternal is the Company of the Holy,
ਜਹ ਕੀਰਤਨੁ ਹਰੀਆ ॥
where the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises are sung.
ਨਾਨਕ ਸਰਨਰੀਆ ॥੪॥੧॥
Nanak seeks this Sanctuary. ||4||1||
