About Sikh Religion

Sikhs, followers of Sikhi, a monotheistic religion founded by Guru Nanak in the 15th century, find profound significance in their spiritual journey through the teachings of the ten Sikh Gurus. The core beliefs of Sikhi, encapsulated in the Guru Granth Sahib, the central scripture, emphasize the oneness of God, equality of all humans, and selfless service. Sikhs are drawn to Gurdwaras, their places of worship, to engage in collective prayer, meditation, and the recitation of hymns from the Guru Granth Sahib. The Gurdwara serves as a community center, promoting a sense of unity and fostering a commitment to humanitarian values. Sikhs believe in leading an honest and righteous life, free from ego and prejudice. The principles of Sikhi, encapsulated in the term "Sant Sipahi" (Saint-Soldier), inspire Sikhs to maintain spiritual consciousness while actively contributing to the well-being of society. The commitment to equality, compassion, and service to humanity underpins the Sikh belief system, making Sikhi a path of both spiritual enlightenment and social responsibility.
