What else can I help you with?
Which day does the Sikhism religion worship?
There is no such thing in Sikhism, that it is to be worshiped on a specific day. every day is a day to worship for a Sikh. a Sikh is ordered by his gurus to remember the god every time of every day
How is the monotheistic view from Sikhs shown in their worshipping?
The beginning of Sikh Scripture is not an alphabet or word but a figure which is "1".And so on the whole of Sikh Gurus and Sikh Bhagats teachings emphasize only on the worship of One God who has created the universe, is sustaining it and will destroy it too.Worship is of One God alone, through out the scripture the Sikh Gurus and Sikh Bhagats have used different names and also the ways to relating with God but the oneness of God is throughout maintained.For Sikhs God is Formless without any shape, size,color, who is imminent in his/her creation but at the same time transcendtal.
In what ways are the gurus remembered today?
The ten gurus are remembered through Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji (The eleventh guru). Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is the holy book which contains all rules and regulations of the Sikh faith. It also contains stories that have morals to them along with what the Gurus had said back in their time and how we are to implement those orders in our lives.
When were men equal to women in the Sikh religion?
As per Sikh religion both men and women are seen equal. The Sikhs Guru themselves spoke of it. Whether in relation to spiritual matters or worldly matters, woman is the other half of man. One very good early example in which Sikh Guru equated women with men was when Sikh Gurus started Masand System for spreading their teachings. There were 24 masands out of which 8 were women who were equally given the rights to preach the teachings of Sikh Gurus. It was a huge step forward considering the time when women everywhere were not given equal rights in worldy matters, let alone being a spiritual preacher.Furhtermore, women also participated alongside men in battles with Mughal rulers of their time. Also please be advised if the followers don't follow Gurus teachings, it is the follower who is in question not the Guru who has given same position to both male and female. Thank You
Are the pictures of the Gurus real?
In a sense, no, pictures of Gurus are not real as there were no cameras in their time. Most of the images of the Gurus are paintings by artists who lived around the same time as them.

What is the context in which the Sikh religion was born?
The Sikh religion was born as a result of fighting against Muslim invaders and rulers. The eldest son of every (Hindu) family was asked to fight against the invaders and over a period of time these men formed their own philosophy based on the teachings of their 10 gurus. Some of these Gurus attempted to take the best of what they say in Hinduism and Islam (no idols, one god, no caste system, concept of equality amongst men and women).
What rituals do the sihks practice?
Sikhs can pray at Gurudwara(Sikh Place of worship) and at their home also or any where.
