tiny morsel of some factad Knowledge from my smat plate. I firmly believe that only true knowledge can dispel ignorance and fear, and the resultant understanding would contribute towards peace and harmony among people living on this Mother Earth As a student of Geography, I can see a parallel between our knowledge hungry world and our spherical planet earth, both behaving the same way.

It was a Grand Design, and it was left to Guru Gobind Singh to grasp the full spiritual, political, social and cultural implications and to activate the ideology, and give it form, substance, structure and force to complete the process. The sacramental ceremony for the baptism of the 'panj piayara (five beloved ones), which is a symbolic rite. was introduced by Guru Gobind Singh on the auspicious Vaisakhi in 1699, and acted as the catalyst that dramatically invigorated Sikhism. Out of this historical event emerged a bold 'community', a distinct 'congregation', called the 'Khalsa", which became the armed representation of Sikhism. This created a lasting tradition of militancy and protest against social injustice, oppression and inequality. The Khalsa acquired the symbolic collective and individual identity with the five K's as a marker of the 'panth reflecting and representing the ideology of Sikhism.
This book goes a long way to explain the core of a world religion, and in my view the only way to interpret the contents of this book is that Sikhism stands for divinity. brotherhood, service and protest. Any other interpretation would invalidate the core of a world faith.
