What is Sikhism?

Every Sikh has a story to tell and this is my experience. It is a collection of thoughts as I journey on the path of Sikhism. it's about building and developing the relationship with the Guru through personal discipline, simran and reflection on gurbani.

The Sikh religion was founded by Guru Nanak in the 15th century in the Punjab, India.  Today, this spirit can be found in the teachings of the Guru Garanth Sahib Ji, the holy book of the Sikh religion. Sikhs also reject the social barriers of caste, creed and religion and adhere to practices of equality in worship and life.



Sikhism is the youngest religion of the world religions. It is barely five hundred years old. Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism  was born in 1469. Guru Nanak spread a simple message of we are all one and we are created by the One Creator of all Creation. He aligned with no religion, and respected all religions. He expressed the reality that there is one God and the name of God is Truth "Sat Nam".
