The International Khalsa Council

The Khalsa Council is an international body of Ministers of Sikh Dharma committed to serving and upholding the spirit of Khalsa in service to humanity.

The International Khalsa Council was established in 1974 by Siri Singh Sahib Bhai Sahib Harbhajan Singh Khalsa Yogiji with the vision that it would provide leadership and inspiration for our Dharma and for our global communities. Since then, it has met twice a year to continue its work and to embody the nobility and purity of Khalsa consciousness in the world.

“The Khalsa Council embodies the sovereign, spiritual, status of the Sikhs. In action it is the parliament of the Sarkar e Khalsa. It is the leadership. It is a body that lives in the divinity, nobility, and grace of God. What comes through the Khalsa Council is simply projective kindness, compassion, divinity, nobility, and grace. It is the very embodiment of the grace, radiance, lifestyle and projection of Guru Gobind Singh.”  ~The Siri Singh Sahib, Dec 28,1991
