your in luck i'm punjabi well only half but learned a lot so the golden temple is in armitsar and guru nank found khalsaHe who keeps alight the unquenchable torch of truth, and never swerves from the thought of One God; he who has full love and confidence in God and does not put his faith, even by mistake, in fasting or the graves of Muslim saints, Hindu crematoriums, or Jogis places of sepulchre; he who recognises the One God and no pilgrimages, alms-giving, non-destruction of life, penances, or austerities; and in whose heart the light of the Perfect One shines, - he is to be recognised as a pure member of the Khalsa" (Guru Gobind Singh, 33 Swaiyyas) \n\nThe word "Khalsa" means "pure", Khalsa's are Sikhs which have undergone the sacred Amrit Ceremony initiated by the 10th Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh. The Khalsa order was initially created on Baisakhi Day March 30 1699, with Guru Gobind Singh baptizing 5 Sikhs and then in turn asking the five Khalsa's to baptize him. Following this the Guru personally baptized thousands of men and women into the Khalsa order. The Khalsa baptism ceremony is undertaken as part of ones own personal spiritual evolution when the initiate is ready to fully live up to the high expectations of Guru Gobind Singh. All Sikhs are expected to be Khalsa or be working towards that objective. \n\n\nThe Khalsa baptism ceremony involves drinking of Amrit (sugar water stirred with a dagger) in the presence of 5 Khalsa Sikhs as well as the Guru Granth Sahib. The initiate is instructed in the following; (a) You shall never remove any hair from any part of thy body, (b) You shall not use tobacco, alcohol or any other intoxicants, (c) You shall not eat the meat of an animal slaughtered the Muslim way, (d) You shall not commit adultery. The initiate is required to wear the physical symbols of a Khalsa at all times as well as follow the Khalsa Code of Conduct. \n\n\n\n Quotes from the Gurus about Who is a Sikh \n\n Comments from Sikh Scholars about who is a Sikh \n\n\nSpiritual Evolution \nStage 1: Manmukh \nA person who is self-centered and only thinks about himself and the material world around him and is totally oblivious to God. \nStage 2: Sikh \nAnyone who sets out on the path of learning and meets the specific definition of a Sikh as appears in the Reht Maryada (Official Code of Conduct). \nStage 3: Khalsa \nTotal dedication to Sikhism. One who has has shed his ego and personality and truly honours the memory of Guru Gobind Singh through his actions and deeds. \nStage 4: Gurmukh \nOne who has achieved mukhti (salvation) and is totally God-centered. \n\n\nThe Physical Articles of Faith \n\nKesh: \nLong unshorn hair. A symbol of spirituality. The Kesh reminds a Khalsa to behave like the Guru's. It is a mark of dedication and group consciousness, showing a Khalsa's acceptance of God's will. Long hair have long been a common element of many spiritual prophets of various religions such as Jesus, Moses and Buddha. \n\n Dastar: \nTurban. A symbol of royalty and dignity. Historically the turban has been held in high esteem in eastern and middle eastern cultures. Guru Gobind Singh transformed this cultural symbol into a religious requirement so that the Khalsa would always have high self-esteem. It differentiates Sikhs from other religious followers who keep long hair but wear caps or keep matted hair. The turban cannot be covered by any other head gear or replaced by a cap or hat. The turban is mandatory for Sikh men and optional for Sikh women. \n\n Kangha: \nComb. A symbol of hygiene and discipline as opposed to the matted unkept hair of ascetics. A Khalsa is expected to regularly wash and comb their hair as a matter of self discipline. \n\n Kara: \nSteel bracelet. A symbol to remind the wearer of restraint in their actions and remembrance of God at all times. \n\n Kachha: \nDrawers. A symbol signifying self control and chastity. \n\n Kirpan: \nCeremonial Sword. A sym

Actually the Hindus started using the decimal numbering system, 0 to 9, 1500 years ago.  after 9 you add 1 infront to make 10, 12, 13, etc.

I agree. God is one Krishna Allah Jehovah, etc.  One God many religions.  Krishna Says in the Bhagavad Gita (Song of God) " Whenever their is a decline in religious principals and the truth appears to be lost, I appear again and again or send my representative to reestablish the Truth."  So now we can see why their are so many religions with so many misunderstandings.  Go to http://www.stephen-knapp.com for universal truths

This is true.  To Zarathustra of Persia, it was Ihua Mazda.  For Abraham it was EOIH (YHWH or I AM).  For Brahma and Sakaya (Buddha) or India, it was Ormazd.  For Kayu (Confucius) of China, it was Shang Te.  For Ea-Wah-Tah (Native American) it was Egoquim, the Great Spirit.\n\nAnd all of these had the same beliefs and doctrine.

He was a moderate Sikh militant. He was a sikh nationalist, but a reasonable man, not an extremist. The sikhs has many extreme militants, they systematically eliminated moderates who were open to logic.  Indira Gandhi didnt get him killed. Its the extremists who killed him. I clearly remember those days, I was in dehradun that time.

Seven is the correct answer. I'm not sure what kind of source you're looking for, but I've found it in multiple sources.

Here's a good passage on Sikh names and their meaning, it doesn't address the second part of your question however.  You may dig a little bit to find more info here or the sources I've shared below.\n\nhttp://www.sikhwomen.com/lifecycle/Sikh_Names_Meanings.htm\n\n"Sikh Names and Their Significance\n\n    Most but not all names are derived from the Guru Granth Sahib and in most cases describe God's attributes and not ours.  (ie. immortal, infinite beauty, most intelligent, unfathomable, unapproachable, victorious, pure, ageless etc.) \n\n    In 1699, Sikh Women were given the last name 'Kaur' and and Men 'Singh' by Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Guru. This initiate intended to end the caste system, social stratification and much of the apparatus of Hindu ritual and legalism.  In Indian society, an individual's name reveals his or her caste, and Sikhs were freed from the caste system by having all men incorporate Singh in their names and all women, Kaur."\n\nIndeever ....blue lotus\nPallav ....young shoots and leaves\nDeepak ....lamp, kindle\nDeepankar ....one who lights lamps\nPreetish ....god of love

You should do some reading up on Hinduism, specifically samsara, and Shiva and Vishnu. Not exactly the same idea, but a similar concept.
