Introduction
Sikhism was founded in the fifteenth century by Sri Guru Nanak Dev, the first of Gurus born in Talwandi (now Nankana Sahib) in Seikhpura in the district of Lahore (in Pakistan). He made no attempt to build up a new religion. He tried to have a unifying religion to embrace both Hindus and Mohammedans. He insisted on the worship of one God, the Creator and the Supreme Ruler. Who is all and apart from Whom any thought of individual existence is only Maya Guru Nanak tried his level best to join the Hindus and the Musalmans in one league of love to God and service to man. The cardinal doctrines of Sikhism are the unity or oneness of God and the brotherhood of man. Love to God and the teacher is the very basis and the very root of Sikhism. In its philosophy it is Hindu. It is reformatory in its nature. Sikhism is a movement essentially of Bhakti. Guru Nanak taught that one can obtain his emancipation through the name of Hari. Guru Gobind gave to the Sikhs their great military organisation. He was a great military organiser. The word ‘Sikh’ simply means a disciple. It is derived from the Sanskrit word ‘Shishya’ or disciple. Sikhism enjoins that obedience to the Guru brings release from future birth, and the attainment of eternal bliss and immortality.

Sikhs are a religious community of some 16 million worldwide, centered on N India, mainly in the Punjab. Its founder, the mystic guru teacher Nanak (c.1469-c.1539), taught monotheism and opposed idolatry and the Caste system. He believed in the fundamental identity of all religions and stressed religious exercises and Meditation. Gradually becoming united and developing military power under a series of gurus, the Sikhs were militarized to oppose Islam by Govind Singh (1666-1708), the tenth and last guru, who created a warrior fraternity and introduced the Sikh practices of wearing a turban and never cutting the hair. In the late 19th cent. conflict with the British led to the subjugation of the Sikh state in the Punjab (established earlier by Ranjit Singh). Following the partition (1947) of British India, the Sikhs fought the Muslims of the Punjab in a fierce holy war, after which some 2.5 million Sikhs moved from W Punjab (now part of Pakistan) to E Punjab, in India. In the early 1980s Indian Sikhs demanding an independent state resorted to terrorism, leading to turmoil in Punjab. In 1984 the Indian army stormed the Sikhs' Golden Temple, at Amritsar, which had been occupied by Sikh militants. Prime Min. Indira Gandhi was assassinated by her Sikh bodyguards in retaliation, after which mobs attacked Sikhs throughout India. Unrest in Punjab continued into the early 1990s.

    Sikhism
  • Belief in Deities: God Almighty is impersonal, formless ultimate reality and He is the Creator, personal savior, inner teacher, omniscient, omnipotent - incorporeal.
  • Incarnations: God reveals and manifests Himself through all in the universe, but no finite form can be worshipped as God, who is infinite. God chose to embody the Divine Light in the Guru Nanak and in 9 gurus successively and finally to the scriptures themselves, but none are to be worshipped as God(s).
  • Origin of the universe/life: God existed in deep meditation of the void for countless ages until deciding to create the universe and life. Only God knows how and when the universe and life and the first karma were created.
  • After death: One’s soul is continually reborn until liberated by the Grace of God, at which time the soul merges with God (Guru).

    Sikhism
    From Wikipedia , the free encyclopedia.
    Sikhism comes from the word Sikh , which means a disciple. A Sikh is a person who believes in One God and the teachings of the Ten Gurus , enshrined in Guru Granth Sahib , the Sikh holy book. While both Buddhism and Jainism were inspired by religious and social ideas that emerged from an exclusively Hindu (or, technically speaking, Vedic ) background, Sikhism, a more recent development, has similar links to both Hindu and Islamic ideals as well. Sikhism shares beliefs with both Islam (e.g. monotheism ) and Hinduism (e.g. Bhakti and monism ). Sikhism should not, however, be regarded simply as two older religions blended into one, but rather as a genuinely new religion . Its followers believe it to have been authenticated by a new divine revelation Table of contents 1 Background 2 History of Sikhism 3 The Gurus of Sikhism 3.1 The Ten Gurus of Sikhism ... edit
    Background
    This religion was founded by Guru Nanak , who was born in 1469 to a Hindu family. After several years of wandering, Nanak had a call to teach. He preached before Jain and Hindu temples and Muslim mosques and, in the process, attracted a number of sikhs or disciples. Religion, he thought, was a bond to unite men, but in practice he found that it set men against one another. He particularly regretted the antagonism between Hindus and Muslims. He wanted to go beyond what was being practiced by either religion and hence a well-known saying of Nanak is, "There is no Hindu and no Muslim." Nanak was opposed to the caste system . His followers referred to him as the guru (teacher). Before his death he designated a new Guru to be his successor and to lead his community. The tenth and the last Guru

    WORLD RELIGIONS: SIKHISM Official Name: Sikhism (pronounced "seek-ism") Founder and Key Figure(s) Nanak (1469-1539) and nine successive leaders (gurus) through 1708. Origins India, with greatest success in the Punjab region Scriptures Adi Granth (Guru Granth Sahib) Adherents Worldwide - est. 20 million U.S. - est. 250,000 Historical Background Sikhism is a recent religion (15th century A.D.) and represents a syncretism of Hindu devotional elements and the monotheism of Islam. However, its adherents claim it constitutes a fresh religious start. Nanak believed God commissioned him to spread a new redemptive revelation to humanity - that all people should believe in the true God. His message primarily taught the repetition of God's name, through charity to all, meditation, worship, and ritual purity through ablution were prominent elements. Nanak's followers called themselves Sikhs (disciples). Sikhism does not consider itself an active missionary religion because it accepts other religious traditions as valid. Sikhs first came to the United States in 1908, when several immigrants from the Punjab region of India entered California. They built their first place of worship in 1912. Migrations since World War II have added to the Sikh population. In 1969, they built the largest Sikh temple in the world in Yuba City, Calif. Sikhs have established several organizational bodies in the United States, including the Sikh Council of North America, the chief instrument for coordinating Sikh work. One prominent branch of Sikhism in the United States is Sikh Dharma. Its head - Yogi Bhajan (b. 1929) - has been the major propagator of Sikh ideas in the United States.

    "Reflections On Gurbani" welcomes you... This Site Is Updated Routinely. This website is dedicated to attaining deeper understanding and realization of the Gurbani (Sri Guru Granth Sahib, SGGS, the holy Sikh scripture). Various themes mentioned in the Gurbani have been reflected upon through the Gurbani As It Is (please see the Gurbani Articles ). These Gurbani Reflections are written in simple to read language, without all the esoteric mumble jumble. Currently there are over 180 Gurbani Reflections. New Gurbani Reflections are continually added.
    The Gurbani (or any other true scripture for that matter) is of the nature of Spiritual Essence. Since God, being the Spiritual Essence, cannot be understood with material nature, likewise, words of the scriptures cannot be understood with material tendencies either. Also, the human body, mind and intellect are limited being in the framework of time and space. Consequently, man's language is also limited. But the Absolute Truth the scriptures try to explain using this limited human language is unlimited and infinite.
    The majority of us read scriptures and listen to a wise person from the point of view of identification with the body-consciousness and the quagmire of various types of concepts (

By Guru’s grace you can recieve the gift of meeting Him. Before time itself, He was the truth. When time began to run its course, He was the truth. Even now, He is the truth and evermore shall truth prevail’ ( Guru Granth Sahib, 1 ). He is indescribable, inestimable, indubitable, infallible, intangible, imperishable, immutable, immortal, immaculate, immanent, unconquerable, unique, formless, fearless, compassionate, omnipresent and creator of all.

Sikhs had ten Gurus in succession and the tenth Guru compiled all the teachings in a holy scripture called Guru Granth Sahib. That revered scripture presides over as the eleventh Guru of Sikhs. Guru Granth Sahib has 1430 pages and each and every page gives amazing information about God. The Guru is in direct communion with God and passes the word of God to his followers.

    [Panj Pyare] [Guru Nanak] [Five symbols-Panj Kakke]
    T he Sikh faith originates with Guru Nanak (1469-1539), an itinerant teacher who preached a simple monotheistic faith shorn of idolatry, predicated on the equality of all men, critical of caste distinctions, and respectful of the dignity of human labor. Nanak was succeeded by Guru Angad (1504-52), who developed the Gurmukhi script and collected the writings of Nanak; the fourth Guru, Ram Das (1534-81), founded the holy city of Amritsar, where his successor Arjan (1563-1606) built a gurdwara (literally, doorway to the Guru) or Sikh temple. Guru Arjan also engaged in the construction of numerous other gurdwaras, and gave definite shape to the compilation of Nanak's writings, which along with the hymns of Hindu and Muslim saints and the writings of the other Gurus were constituted into the Adi Granth or Guru Granth Sahib, the holy book of the Sikhs. The Sikhs thereby became, in the words of one scholar, a "textual community". G uru Arjan's efforts to put his faith on a firm basis and secure for it an organizational structure attracted the attention of India's Mughal dynasty, and he was consequently put to death in the city of Lahore. This was, on the conventional account, also the fate of Tegh Bahadur (1621-75), the ninth Guru, who refused conversion to Islam. His son, Gobind Singh (1666-1708), having assumed the leadership of his people at the age of ten, conceived of a plan in his later years to save the Sikh community from possible extinction and safeguard the interests of the community. He initiated five of his followers, known as the
