I had never heard of this religion before, so that is the main reason why I chose to study this religion. I have found it very interesting and different than the religions I have come across in my lifetime (which has not been a lot). Sikhism was introduced near the closing of the 15th Century. Guru Nanak Dev originated it; he is also considered the first master. Sikism is kind of a mix of two religions with a bit of other beliefs sprinkled in. Its main beliefs come from both Hinduism and Islam.

The Sikhs are found generally around northwest India, or Punjab, but can also be found anywhere in the world. Sikhism has a very rare formation. This religion is a mixture of two other religions, known as Hinduism and Islam. This joining together is known as syncretism. The Hindus and Islams began to mix and some thought of joining the two together. Not ev

One type of meditation is Akhand Path. This is a non-stop front to back reading of the Holy Book, or Guru Granith Sahib. This celebrates troubled times like birth, marriage, death, new houses, or Gurpurbs. This reading usually takes 48 hours. The naming of a child is very important to them. This ceremony is known as Nam Karan. To do this you open a hymnbook to any page and on the page you open to, you use the first letter of the hymn on that page. The first letter of the hymn is the first letter of the child’s name.

Sikhs believe to worship in temples known as Gurdwaras, also meaning Gateway to the Guru. Daily attachment to God helps you become closer to Him. Also, faith grows within the community while worshipping at the Gurdwaras. Serving others is their center of worship. Among the Sikhs are three other main branches, The Udasis, Sahajdharis, and the Singhs. The Udasis is an order of Holy Men who follow the same practices as Buddhist, Hindus, and Jainism. They are celibate and wear a yellow coarse garment like Buddhist monks or they go naked. They have one possession, a begging bowl. On the other hand, Sahajdaris are very reasonable and very clean- people. They reject the militancy of the Sikhs. The Singhs are just a break off of the Sikhs. Sikhs believe in God but they worship by Gurus. They also believe in Guru Granith Sahib and other writings by the ten Gurus. They do not believe in any other religion, though. God is the creator, maintainer, and distructor who cannot take human form. He appears only in spirit by believing and cannot appear in human. Their five cardinal vices are Kam, or lust, Krodah, or anger, Lobh, or greed, Moh, or worldly attachment, and Ahankar, or pride. Some of their beliefs and vices are the same as Catholics.

The Sikhs believe funerals are an artless process of God’s will. Crying and showing sorrow is a sign of not liking God. Sikhs will usually cremate a person and spread their ashes in a nearby river, but sometimes they will also use the ocean to bury a person. What’s left of a dead person is only their skeleton and their soul is with God, so they do not worship the dead.

Gurus used to be very important
