Mata Sahib Kaur Ji, honoured as the Mother of the Khalsa, holds a sacred place in Sikh history. This divine title was blessed upon her by Guru Gobind Singh Ji, the Tenth Nanak, in recognition of her spiritual strength, grace, and lifelong devotion to the Khalsa Panth.
On the historic day of Baisakhi in 1699, when Guru Sahib established the Khalsa through the first Amrit Sanchar (baptism ceremony), Mata Sahib Kaur Ji performed a most blessed seva. She added pataasey (sweetness) to the Khande-di-Pahul to symbolize the balance of strength with compassion. This sacred act represents the eternal sweetness and humility within the warrior spirit of the Khalsa.
