Let's discuss
the concept of God in Sikhism.
Sikhism is the offshoot of Hinduism.
It was founded by Guru Nanak Sahib towards
the end of 15th century
in the land of Pakistan and Northwest India
called as Punjab, the land of 5 rivers.
And Guru Nanak was born in the Hindu
family, in the family, but he was influenced
by the Muslims.
The word Sikh
is derived from the word,
which means a disciple, which means a student.
Sikhism
is a religion of 10 gurus.
The founder and the first guru is Guru
Nanak Saheb and the 10th guru is Guru
Gobind Sahib.
And the sacred scriptures
of Sikhism
is the Guru Granth Sahib or the Adi
Granth.
Every Sikh
is supposed to maintain the 5 case.
The first is
the kesh, the uncut hair.
You know, when you see in any cricket
match in India, you see people wearing a
turban,
so they tie their head. They are the
sick.
So the first k is kesh, uncut hair.
2nd is Kanga,
the comb to keep his hair clean.
The third is the Kala, the metal bracelet
for strength.
Number 4, is the Kerpan,
that's the dagger
for self defense.
And number 5,
is the kacha,
the long underdrawals
or undergarment
for agility.
So every Sikh is supposed to maintain all
his 5 kids and the Sikh are known
for maintaining the level. Wherever they go, almost
all of them, they will be proud to
wear the turban, to keep the beard,
to wear the color, to wear the kripan.
They are very proud of the religion.
If you read
the secret scripture of the sick, the Guru
Granth Sahib, the definition of almighty God is
given in the mool mantra.
The first was
of Guru Granth Sahib. If you read Guru
Granth Sahib, volume number 1, chapter number 1,
verse number 1 called as,
it says,
God is only 1.
He's called as the true,
the creator,
free from
want
and hatred.
The immortal,
the one who has no beginning,
self existent,
great and compassionate.
In Sikhism,
almighty God in the unmanifest form
is called as.
And the manifest form,
he is called as Omkara.
And there are various attributes
given
to this
Omkara.
He's called as
Kartar, the creator.
Sahib, the Lord.
Satanama,
the holy name.
The eternal.
The cherisher.
Raheem, the merciful.
Kareem, the beneficent.
He's also called as Vaheguru,
the one true God. In Sikkim,
they strictly believe
in monotheism
and they are against.
That means almighty God becoming.
They're strictly against that. They're also strictly against
idol worship.
And Guru Nanak Sahib, he was very much
influenced
by Sant Kabir.
Therefore, you'll find
sometimes
the couplets of Sant Kabir is also mentioned.
And one of the famous couplets of Sant
Kabir we learned in school was
It means,
during times of trouble,
everyone remembers God.
But during times of peace and happiness, no
one remembers God.
The person who remembers God at the time
of peace and happiness,
why should trouble touch him?
So if you read
the six scriptures,
you'll understand
that Sikhism
believes that you should worship, believe in 1
God and you should worship only 1 God
who have got no images, who have got
no idlers.
