Welcome to Sikhism Net

Guru Nanak Dev Ji
Guru Gobind Singh Ji
Sikhism is one of
the world's youngest and fastest growing religions. It was born over 500 years ago in the land of Punjab, India. The founder of
Sikhism was Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji who had nine other human
successors ending with Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji. The last and
eternal Guru is the Sri Guru Granth Sahib which is the Sikh holy
book. Over the last century millions of Sikhs moved away from
their ancestral homeland of Punjab to various other nations all
over the world. The largest concentrations of Sikhs outside India
are in the West. They live in countries such as the United States,
Canada, the European Union and the United kingdom. The Sikhs are a
hard working and peace loving people who always contribute
positively to whichever society they live in. This website's aim
is to explain the religion of Sikhism, the Sikh people, their
history and their culture to non-Sikhs and others, so that they
may have a better understanding of it. Sikhism is a religion
which teaches human beings to treat each other with love and
respect and to regard one another as members of their own family.
It encourages people to live together in peace and harmony
regardless of race, religion, culture or nationality. It is also a
very democratic faith where the will of the people comes first.
Sikhism truly is a universal religion. |
