How and why do Sikhs pray?

Answer 1

Sikhism is a religion founded in the fifteenth century on the teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji and ten successive Sikh Gurus (the last one being the sacred text Guru Granth Sahib Ji). This system of religious philosophy and expression has been traditionally known as the Gurmat (literally the council of the gurus). Sikhism originated from the word Sikh, which in turn comes from the Sanskrit root śiṣya meaning "disciple", or śikṣa meaning "instruction".The principal belief of Sikhism is faith and justice, in Waheguru-represented by the phrase ik ōaṅkār, meaning one God. Sikhism shows the pursuit of salvation through disciplined, personal meditation on the name and message of God. The followers of Sikhism are ordained to follow the teachings of the ten Sikh gurus, or enlightened leaders, as well as the holy scripture entitled the Gurū Granth Sāhib Ji, which, along with the writings of six of the ten Sikh Gurus, includes selected works of many devotees from diverse socio-economic and religious backgrounds. The text was decreed by Guru Gobind Singh Ji, the tenth guru, as the final guru of the Sikh religion. Sikhism's traditions and teachings are associated with the history, society and culture of Punjab. Adherents of Sikhism are known as Sikhs which means student.

Answer 2

how and why do you eat? a sikh needs to eat to feed his or her inner soul. Just as we as humans need food, our soul requires food to thrive. We pray with our heart mind and soul, with full dedication and without ego. Its neccessary for a sikh to pray just as its neccessary for a human to eat food. Not only that, but sikhs must pray as much as they can, as 5 minutes of praying isnt enough per day, just as 5 grains of rice isn't enough for a whole day. Sikhs live by the true lifestyle and dedicate their life to thanking god for this miraculous life.

May God bless us all
