BIRTH OF SANT KHALSA
Sant Khalsa means a Singh, a Saint, who is pure in words, thoughts, deeds and has been blessed with Gurumantar by the Guru. They were to follow the strict code of conduct as laid down by Satguru Gobind Singh Jj based on harmonious blending of the spirit of life with that of the moral fervour and physical courage.
Satguru Ram Singh Ji laid the foundation stone of the new socio-religious order called the Sant Khalsa. This was modeled on the pattern of Khalsa conceived by Satguru Gobind Singh Ji. Every Sikh was required to be baptised with Amrit (the sacred nectar), and blessed with Gurmantar in his ears. After 158 years of Satguru Gobind Singh Ji's establishment of Khalsa Panth, Satguru Ram Singh Ji prepared the Amrit on the Baisakhi day, i.e., 12th of April, 1857, and founded the Namdhari Sect. The following five persons were the firsts to be blessed with Guru Mantar and baptized with Amrit. They became the 'Namdhari Sikhs' - The Sant Sipahi's - the Sant Khalsa.
They were then called Sant Khalsa or Namdhari Sikhs.
