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 15 th 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 15 th 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. - The Sikh definition of Guru varies from our definition of teacher, honored person, or saint. - There are ten Sikh Gurus who helped establish the basis of the religion.

1. Guru Nanak ( ) (creator) 2. Guru Angad ( ) 3. Guru Amar Das ( ) 4. Guru Ram Das ( ) 5. Guru Arjan ( ) 6. Guru Hargobind ( ) 7. Guru Har Rai ( ) 8. Guru Harkrishan ( ) 9.Guru Tegh Bahadur ( ) 10.Guru Gobind Singh ( )
