Importance of the Khanda I think after all the hostility that came about from the activity yesterday, some people need a iltle education on what the Khanda really is and means. Apologies in advance for any mistakes or omissions. The Khanda has a very special significance within the Sikh faith and it's spiritual significance solidifies the basis and beliefs of a Sikh.It is comprised of 3 parts, the central Khanda (from which the name is derived), the Chakkar and the twin Kirpans. The Khanda, a large double edged dagger, signifies the divine ability to distinguish truth from falsehood. It is also used during the preparation of Amrit thus carries a very special meaning. …

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh. To all my brothers and sisters out there, we all know that Radhasoami exists.

Boycott UCL Seminar Series Sikh Youth Alerts would like to call upon the Sikh youth to boycott Seminar Series being held at UCL entitled “"KEEP ON WALKING" Seminar Series.” The speaker Cpt.
