•There are over 20 million Sikhs in the world today, most of which live in the Punjab district, in modern day
India.
•Sikhism was founded in the 15th century by Guru Nanak.
•Sikhs believe that their religion should be practiced through living life, and coping with problems.
•Gurus are not worshiped as gods because they are just servants of god. I quote Guru Gobind sighn “He who calls me God will surely burn in the fire of hell. For I am only
the servant of God.”
Being founded in the 15th century by Guru Nanak makes
Sikhism the youngest of any world religion. They believe “we are all one, created by the one.” The
religion of Sikhism was created during a time of turmoil in
India, where it was separated by castes, sectarianism,
religious factions, and fanaticism.
Guru Nanak aligned with no religion and respected
all religions in the creation of his own. He expressed
the reality that there is one God and many paths to
get to god, and the Name of God is Truth. Each and every one of the first ten Gurus contributed to the creation of Sikhism by
bringing in new ideas and adding it to the Sikh curriculum.
Nam Japa - To get up each day before sunrise, clean the body, meditate in God’s Name and recite the Guru’s
hymns to clean the mind. Throughout the day, continuously remember God’s Name with every breath.
Dharam di Kirat Karni - To work and earn by the sweat of the brow, to live a family way of life, and practice
truthfulness and honesty in all things you do.
Vand Ke Chakna - To share the fruits of one’s labor with others before considering oneself. To live as an inspiration
and a supporter to the entire community.
Sikh definition of Guru-descent of divine guidance to mankind provided
through ten enlightened masters.
