Sikhism

Sikhism is a monotheistic religion founded in the late 15th century in the Punjab region of South Asia by Guru Nanak and developed through the teachings of ten successive Gurus. Sikhs believe in one God who is eternal, formless, and beyond human comprehension, yet accessible to all through devotion and meditation. Central to Sikh practice is the emphasis on honest living, selfless service, equality, and social justice. The faith is guided by the teachings of the Guru Granth Sahib, the Sikh holy scripture, which contains hymns and writings that instruct followers on how to live a righteous life, remember God, and cultivate spiritual discipline. Sikhism also rejects ritualism and caste distinctions, encouraging its adherents to seek a personal connection with God through prayer, meditation, and ethical action.

​

And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.  Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

-Matthew 28:18-20
