Sikhs of Punjab, India
((are not Muslims))


Sikhism is the fifth largest religion in the world with a population of upwards of 30 million worldwide. There are an estimated 250,000 Sikhs in the United States having first arrived in the late 19th century.

Below are five basic facts about Sikhism:

1. Belief: Sikhism is a monotheistic religion, and the basic Sikh belief is represented in the phrase Ik Onkar meaning "One God."

2. History: Sikhism was founded in the Punjab region in India in the 15th century by Guru Nanak Dev. Sikhism broke from Hinduism due, in part, to its rejection of the caste system.

3. Scripture: The primary source of Scripture for Sikhs is the Guru Granth Sahib, regarded as the living Guru, after the final Guru in human form, Guru Gobind Singh, passed away.

4. Place of worship: A Sikh place of worship is known as the gurdwara. The word gurdwara means "doorway to God." Men and women normally sit apart in the gurdwara. Traditionally there is no official clergy within the Sikh tradition. Over time however, priests have become more commonplace. Many gurdwaras employ priests to conduct services, while many others are run entirely by members of the local congregation.

5. The Five Ks: The Five Ks are the articles of faith that Sikhs wear as ordered by the 10th Guru, Guru Gobind Singh. Most Sikhs wear one or more of the articles but only Sikhs who have taken amrit, a ritual analogous to baptism, wear all. They include: Kesh, or unshorn long hair, which is protected by a dastaar, or turban. The dastaar is worn by men and some women to cover their long hair. But most women keep their hair long and uncovered, except for when entering a gurdwara.

A kangha is a small wooden comb meant to keep the hair combed twice a day.
A kara is an iron bangle to be worn on the hand used most.
A kachera is a specific undergarment for men and women.
A kirpan is a short dagger.










"Ek Onkar Satnam Karta Purush Nirbhau Virvair Akal Murat, Ajuni Saibhang Gurprasad(i)"



The English rendering would approximate to:


There is One and only One God who is transcendent as well as immanent.
True and Eternal Name. Creator and Person. Without Fear and without Enmity.
Timeless Form, Unborn, Self-existent. Realized by Divine Grace.

Sikh Beliefs



Q: What are the Sikh beliefs?



A: Sikhism is a monotheistic faith formed in the fifteenth century by Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Guru Nanak Dev Ji along with the following nine Gurus were sent by God Himself to deliver His message. The Tenth Guru then compiled all the teaching of Gurus into the Holy Scripture known as Guru Granth Sahib Ji which presides as the eleventh Guru of Sikhs.

God: Sikhism recognizes God as the only One. He who is the Creator of the Universe, fearless, not subject to time or space, and does not take birth or die. Sikhism clearly states that God does NOT take birth as a human. Furthermore, Sikhism does not recognize any other gods, goddesses and deities except the One Supreme Being.

Guru: Guru is one with God and delivers the message of God.

Rituals: The Sikh religion rejects all rituals, superstitions and routine practices like fasting and pilgrimage, animal sacrifice, omens and austerities.

Rights: Sikh religion instructs that all humans are equal.

Equality among Humans: Sikhism instructs to consider all human races equal. No one is superior or inferior.

Equality of Men and Women: Sikhism instructs to consider all men and women equal. Women have equal status as men.

Lifestyle: Sikh Gurus themselves lived a family and social life and showed everyone how one can be close to God while living a family life. Sikh Guru created a lifestyle for Sikhs. Sikhs that follow this lifestyle are less likely to deviate from the path to God.



Sikh lifestyle includes:


Naam Japna (Meditation): A Sikh is to engage in a daily practice of meditation by reciting and chanting of God’s Name. Sikhism instructs that Salvation can only be attained by meditating on One God. Daily recitation also keeps Sikhs focused in life.

Kirat Karni (Honest Lifestyle): To live honestly and earn by ones physical and mental effort while accepting God's gifts and blessings. A Sikh should never engage in dishonest means of making money.

Vand Chakna (Sharing): The Sikhs are asked to share their wealth within the community and outside by practicing charity (Daan). Sikhism instructs to “Share and consume together”. Seva (Selfless Service): It is the duty of every Sikh to engage in Seva whenever there is a possibility. A Sikh can volunteer at Gurdwara Sahib; community centre; senior living centers; care centers, major world disasters, etc. Seva is important to Sikhs because it helps build a better community and also keeps the Sikhs humble by suppressing ego. Five Vices: A Sikh needs to overcome five vices of Lust, Anger, Greed, Emotional Attachment and Ego.

Five Traits: A Sikh need to develop and harness positive human qualities which leads the soul closer to God. These five qualities are: Truth, Compassion, Contentment, Humble, and Love.

Five Verses: Reading 5 verses from Sikh scriptures everyday keeps one in focus towards God.

Five Ks: Wearing 5 Ks (Five Articles of Faith) Uncut Hair, Comb, Bracelet, Sacred Knife and Sacred Shorts keeps one focused in life.

Alcohol and Drugs: Consuming alcohol, smoke and drugs is an obstruction in meeting God. Food: A Sikh should eat simple and vegetarian food.

Baptism: Knows as Amrit, Baptism is a sacred and important part of Sikh life. A Baptized Sikh lives the lifestyle as described above and remains focused on its way to be One with God.

Science: Sikhs beliefs do not contradict with Science. In fact Scientific findings are confirming Sikh beliefs. In fourteenth century Sikhs Gurus said that there are millions of stars, planets and moon revolving the planets in the Universe, science has been confirming since 19th century.

Existence: Sikhism tells us that this Earth has been going on for billions of years. God created the entire Universe including the Earth and the Earth has been evolving since. Guru Granth Sahib Ji further tells us that this is not the only time God has created the Universe; He has done it many times over and over again.

Life after Death: Sikhism has a belief in reincarnation. Heaven and hell do exist. Your good deeds will be rewarded in heaven and bad deed will be punished in hell, you will take birth again and again until you attain salvation by becoming One with God.

Purpose of Life: Sikhism instructs that our life has a purpose and a goal. It offers an opportunity for self and God realization. Moreover man is responsible for his own actions. He cannot claim immunity from the results of his actions. He must therefore be very vigilant in what he does. The goal of human life to merge with God is accomplished by meditation on God and performance of acts of service and charity. Sikhism emphasizes the path of devotion. It also lays stress on the need for earning God's Grace in order to reach the spiritual goal.

Salvation: Salvation can only be attained by meditation of God. Just like you love your significant other and keep them in your mind, we should love God. Sikhism emphasizes that normal family life is no barrier to salvation. That it is possible to live detached in the midst of worldly ills and temptations.
