The power and majesty of the Sikh experience is difficult to explain in words.  As Khalsa, we spend these few short days on the planet earth as the sons and daughters of the most noble warrior who has ever lived, the 10th Guru of the Sikhs, Guru Gobind Singh ji.  The only way I know to share that experience is to share our history.  It is not an easy history but one filled with hardship and endurance, betrayal and sacrifice.  The more you read, the more you need to read because in the course of understanding where we come from, we ultimate understand who we are.
