The Khanda and Ik Onkar (One God.)

KHANDA which consists of three different weapons used in a Khanda, having symbolic meaning:

A double-edged sword called a Khanda in the centre

A Chakkar which is a circular weapon

Two single-edged swords, or kirpans, are crossed at the bottom and sit on either side of the Khanda and Chakkar. They represent the dual nature/duties of the Gurus, Miri and Piri.

The Khanda represents knowledge of God, the Chakkar represents the eternal nature of God and oneness of humanity and the two swords represent Miri (political sovereignty) and Piri (spiritual sovereignty).
