Khat Karam


KHAT KARAM

Literary: Six Actions. In Hinduism, every Brahmin has an obliegation to perform six actions/duties: (1-2) reading and teaching of Vedas, (3-4) performing and making others perform Yagnas, (5-6) giving and getting charity. Only Brahmins have privilege to perform these acts

The reference to Khat Karam in Guru Granth Sahib is just metaphoric. Otherwise, Sikhism does not support this idea.
