I'm powered by Khalsa. Are you ?

From SikhiWiki:

Khalsa which means 'pure' is the name given by Guru Gobind Singh to all Sikhs who have been baptised or initiated by taking Amrit in a ceremony called Amrit Sanchar. The first time that this ceremony took place was on Baisakhi, which fell on 30 March 1699 at Anandpur Sahib in India.

After 1699, the Khalsa was established as a Saint-soldier and was ordained to carry the five symbols, Panj Kakka, or the Five Ks:

Kesh – uncut hair to represent the natural appearance of sainthood. It is argued by some that the requirement is Keski instead, a small turban to be worn underneath a bigger turban. However the latter idea is not contradictory to the former, since the purpose of the Keski is to preserve the kesh.

Kanga – a small comb.

Kaccha – warrior short trousers, also denotes chastity.

Kara – steel bangle as a sign of restraint and bondage, and a symbol of dedication to the Guru. Guru Gobind Singh proclaimed that by wearing Kara all fears will be removed.

Kirpan – a sword for defence. The Kirpan is a symbol of dignity, power and courage. Kirpan is from Kirpa (act of kindness, Sanskrit) + Aan (self respect, Persian language).

...

(Powered by Khalsa) respects the beliefs and tradition by placing the Khanda in a shield fashion to show power and courage. Also included in this design is the establishment date of Khalsa (1699).

This design was uniquely created to focus on Sikh Youth who wear trendy clothing with brands they don't even know; but they think its cool to wear them. Most of these brands incorporate skulls, violence, money, and drugs.

Here are some examples of trendy BAD clothing in the market today which spoil our youth and even adults:



These products encourage violence and make you think that its cool. Make sure you don't fall into the trap.

Get Powered by Khalsa instead. This not just for Sikhs, but for everyone who is reading this blog. I hope I made sense...I wrote this blog without proof reading..
