Panj Pyare
The term "Panj Pyare" refers to the five beloved ones in the Sikh faith, who were chosen by Guru Gobind Singh Ji in 1699 during the formation of the Khalsa. These five individuals, representing courage and devotion, were the first to be initiated into the Khalsa and are revered for their commitment to Sikh principles.
The names of the Panj Pyare are Bhai Daya Singh, Bhai Dharam Singh, Bhai Himmat Singh, Bhai Mohkam Singh, and Bhai Sahib Singh. They symbolize the values of selflessness, bravery, and equality, and are honored in Sikh ceremonies and prayers, serving as a reminder of the importance of community and faith.
