Sikhism is the Saint-Soldier path or we also say Sant Sipahi Marag or Khalsa Panth. Khalsa is a Persian word which symbolizes of purity. Out of 10 Sikh Gurus, 8 Sikh Gurus laid the platform of being a Saint and 6th and 10th Guru formalized Sikh to Saint-Soldier or Sant Sipahi. Many ask a question on why soldier form has been associated with the Sikh? It is so because that what the use of that Meditation of God or naam japna is when a saint cannot protect himself or herself. When God has given us all mind, brain and body then why not protect ourselves.

So Khalsa came into existence. Sikhism doctrine is based on One God. Sikhism neither believes in any false rituals nor even converting any person to Sikhism. God’s way or path is the path of love. There are many other paths or religions like Islam, Hinduism, Christianity etc. and all are welcomed to follow their paths to meet god.

But one who wants to walk on the path of Sikhism or calls himself or herself a Sikh should formally baptize and take Amrit too.
