Brief HistoryWas first used in

the times of Guru Amar Das jee

Which Guru was he?

Then put up by the Sixth guru at Sri Akal Takhat sahib in 1609.

Who was the 6th Guru?

7 Elements!

Part A

A The Colour is called

Kesri. It is the colour

which reminds of those who

have died for their Guru.

Part B

B is called the Farla. When it flaps in the wind it invites everyone to the home of the guru

Part C

C The Khanda Symbol reminds us to be a Saint and Soldier. To

always remember god and also stand

for truth

Part D

D Kamarkasa – reminds the

Sikh to always be ready for

serving/helping others

Part E

E are the promises we tie to

follow sikhi – keep our hair and

take amrit to become

better Sikhs

Part F

F are the ropes which hold the nishan sahib in

place. There are four of them which means people from all directions can

receive a message from Guru Granth

Sahib jee.

Part G

G is called the Thara. If the flag of a religion flies high, it is a sign that the people it belongs to are free and strong.

A nishan sahib is high from the ground which fits in with“jab lag khalsa rahe niyara, tab lag tej deeyo mein sara” Until the khalsa remains unique I will give it my support – Guru Gobind Singh Jee Maharaj

Part H

H is the world which

the Sikh lives and works in but does not

forget vaheguru

Part I

I The khanda top reminds us to

always focus on simran and take

our thoughts higher and to think better

actions
