The &#039;&#039;jaikara&#039;&#039; expresses the Sikh belief that all victory ([[Victory|&#039;&#039;jaya&#039;&#039;]] or &#039;&#039;jai&#039;&#039;) belongs to God, &#039;&#039;[[Waheguru]]&#039;&#039;, a belief that is also expressed in the Sikh salutation &quot;&#039;&#039;Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh&#039;&#039;&quot; (&quot;Khalsa is of God and to God belongs the victory&quot;, or &quot;Hail the Guru’s Khalsa! Hail the Guru’s victory!&quot;)<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> &#039;&#039;Sat Sri Akal&#039;&#039; has been so used through the 300-year history of the Sikh people, since the creation of the [[Khalsa]]. In a normal situation, when two Sikhs meet they exchange greetings by saying &quot;&#039;&#039;Sat Sri Akal&#039;&#039;&quot;. Although it is now the customary Sikh greeting, it does not have the sanction of history or orthodoxy. &quot;&#039;&#039;Wahiguru ji ka Khalsa Wahiguru ji ki Fateh&#039;&#039;&quot;, the other salutation, is generally used only by people punctilious in the observance of proper form. Those addressing a Sikh religious congregation will, as a rule, greet the audience with the salutation, &quot;&#039;&#039;Wahiguru ji ka Khalsa Wahiguru ji ki Fateh&#039;&#039;&quot;. &quot;&#039;&#039;[[Sat Sri Akaal]]&#039;&#039;&quot; shouted in unison responding to the call &quot;&#039;&#039;bole so nihal&#039;&#039;&quot; is a call to action, or expression of ecstatic joy or an invocation for Divine aid or succour. While &#039;&#039;sat&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;sati&#039;&#039; ([[Sanskrit]] &#039;&#039;satya&#039;&#039;) means ‘true’, ‘good’, ‘abiding’, ‘real’ and ‘eternal’, &#039;&#039;sri&#039;&#039; is an [[honorific]] denoting beauty, glory, grace or majesty.<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> * [http://www.sikhnet.com/ Sikhnet.com]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Greeting words and phrases of India]]<br /> [[Category:Sikh terminology]]</div>
