It is one of the five kakars or 5Ks —external articles of faith — that identify a Sikh as dedicated to theirreligious order. The kara was instituted by the tenth Sikh Guru Gobind singh atthe Baisakhi Amrit Sanskarn in 1699. Guru Gobind Singh Ji explained:He doesnot recognize anyone else except me, not even the bestowal of charities,performance of merciful acts, austerities and restraint on pilgrim-stations;the perfect light of the Lord illuminates his heart, then consider him as theimmaculate Khalsa.The karais to constantly remind the Sikh disciple to do God's work, a constant reminderof the Sikh's mission on this earth and that he or she must carry out righteousand true deeds and actions, keeping with the advice given by the Guru. The Karais a symbol of unbreakable attachment and commitment to God. It is in the shapeof a circle which has no beginning and no end, like the eternal nature of God.It is also a symbol of the Sikh brotherhood. As the Sikhs' holy text, the GuruGranth Sahib Ji says, "In the tenth month, you were made into a humanbeing, O my merchant friend, and you were given your allotted time to performgood deeds."
