Thank you

Just a guess - I wonder if this has any connection with the five k's? |

Only GURU JI can answer this.
PUNJ does have some significance in Gurbani though... Panch parwaan Panch pardhaaan...Punj Kakaars..
Panch/Panchiyaat is also Ancient Indian...
Anyway as I said earlier ONLY GURU JI knows for sure why only FIVE heads were requested. Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/sikh-sikhi-sikhism/1770-why-five-beloved-ones.html

Every religion has numbering distinctions.
But in sikhism 5 is not taken as numerilogcal number as hindus or muslims who have believes on certain numbers as 7 or 3 etc.

Somewhere, I happened to read that 5 is neither a very less number like 3, nor bigger as 7, and sounds very balanced number. Anyway, am unsure why 5, of course Guru Sahib only has got the answer. Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=1770
Or may be, if He picked up 4, or 6, then again our questioning would have asked - why so, why not that number etc. No, I am not questioning your questions. Keep them coming  |

The number five seems to have a place in may religions...
Hinduism - 5 arti a day, sometimes 5 wicks in the arti [or 3 or 1]
Sikhism - 5 K's, 5 beloved ones Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=1770
Islam - 5 daily prayers [salat], 5 pillars
