The Nishan Sahib WALT (We are learning to):  Understand the history of the Nishan sahib  Identify the 7 elements of the Nishan Sahib  Understand the significance (+maryada) of the Nishan Sahib

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
