Khanda Sahib: Khalsa Insignia

Khalsa insignia The Khanda is one of Sikhism's most significant emblems. The Khanda is present on numerous Sikh flags, including the Nishan Sahib, which emphasizes this. It is a set of four weapons that Sikhs frequently employed during the reign of Guru Gobind Singh.

The two-edged sword in the center of the logo represents God's creative power, which determines the course of the entire cosmos. It has absolute control over both life and death. The sword's point represents heavenly justice, which corrects and punishes evil oppressors, and its other edge represents freedom and authority guided by moral and spiritual principles.

We can see two swords on the outside of the two-edged sword:

On the left is the Sword of Spiritual Sovereignty Piri. 

On the right is the Sword of Political Sovereignty Miri.

A circle inside emphasizes the balance between the two, which must always be struck. What is referred to as a Chakra or Chakkar is this circle. The chakra is a representation of all-encompassing Divine Manifestation, which is without origin or end, neither first nor last, eternal, and Absolute. It stands for unity, uniformity of justice, humanity, and immortality. In the seventeenth century, almost all Sikh fighters wore it, and Nihangs still do today.

The Chakra or Chakkar that the heroic martyr Baba Deep Singh wore is still kept in the Akal Takht's inner sanctum. It represents the Mool Mantar, which is written on it.
