Sikhism

Sikhism is a faith founded in the Punjab region of South Asia at the end of the fifteenth century by Guru Nanak Dev Ji (1469–1539). It is a monotheistic tradition that teaches the oneness of God, the equality of all human beings, honest living, and selfless service.

The Ten Gurus

The faith was shaped by a lineage of ten human Gurus, beginning with Guru Nanak and ending with Guru Gobind Singh Ji (1666–1708). In 1708, Guru Gobind Singh installed the Guru Granth Sahib — the Sikh holy scripture — as the eternal Guru of the Sikhs.

Core beliefs

• Ik Onkar — There is one God, present in all creation
• Naam Japna — Remember God through meditation on the divine name
• Kirat Karni — Earn an honest living through hard work
• Vand Chakna — Share with others; serve the community

• Kesh — Uncut hair, kept covered by a turban
