IK ONKAR. Ik means, one and only one, the one that cannot be compared with any other. Onkar means God.
So Ik Onkar can be summarized as One God – the one Absolute God, the Eternal, the Supreme Unity.
Ik Onkar has a central and prominent place at the head of the Mul Mantar - the first composition in the Sikh holy text, the Adi Granth – later became the Guru Granth Sahib. Ik Onkar is the first name call upon in prayer each time Sikhs go to the Gurdwara.
Ik Onkar is the central belief in Sikhism.
