Here are some basic definitions.
Sikh basically means a student, a disciple, or a person who is always learning.
Ek Om Kaar means, There is only one God. One Savior.
The first two words in the Guru Granth Sahib are one of the cornerstones of Sikhism.
They appear at the beginning of the Mul Mantra written by Guru Nanak,
describing the qualities of God in the Japji Sahib.
 

     The Khanda is the symbol of the Sikhs,
like the Cross is to Christians or the Star of  David is to Jews.
It reflects some of the fundamental concepts of Sikhism.
The symbol derives its name from the double-edged sword (also called a Khanda)
which appears at the center of the logo. This double-edged sword is a
metaphor of Divine Knowledge, its sharp edges cleaving Truth from Falsehood.
The circle around the Khanda is the Chakkar. The Chakkar being a circle without
a beginning or an end symbolizes the perfection of God who is eternal.
The Chakkar is surrounded by two curved swords called Kirpans.
These two swords symbolize the twin concepts of Meeri and Peeri - Temporal and
Spiritual authority introduced by Guru Hargobind. They emphasize the equal emphasis
a Sikh must place on spiritual aspirations as well as obligations to society.
 

Nishan Sahib is the name given to the flag which is seen flying outside
  every Sikh Gurudwara (Temple). It is a triangular piece of ochre or saffron
   colored cloth with the Khanda emblem in the middle. The flagpost also has a Khanda or spear
on top and is usually covered with the same cloth as the flag. The use of the Nishan Sahib
was first introduced by Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji.
