Ikonkar –God is One– is the essence of the philosophy of Guru Nanak, founder of Sikhism, the fifth largest religion of the world. The symbol, formed by a combination of numeral “1” and Syllable O, is pronounced Ik-o-ankaar. In its customary symbolic form the numeral stresses the divine singularity or unity of the Primal Being. It symbolizes the eternal and omnipresent Creator, and universality of creation, and thus communal fellowship of humanity.
