Sikhism

Milkha Singh is the flying Sikh of India

If you meant how did Sikhism originate this is the answer:

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.

The Sikhs accept cremation as their way of disposing the dead bodies. That stems from the notion that a soul separates from the body when someone dies.

asal jattzz!

A typical Punjabi breakfast consists of layered paranthas (flaky, griddle breads, stuffed with spiced, mashed potatoes or grated, spiced radish eaten with dahi(creamy yoghurt) and tarty mango pickle for pep and pungency. This is washed down with a glass of thick, creamy milk.

An exquisite country fare if Sarson-Ka-Sag (buttery mustard greens, flavoured with aniseed and asafoetida) eaten with Makki-Ki-Roti (crisp, fresh corn bread) and washed down withenormous glasses of Lassi (thick, creamy butter milk). Another typical Punjabi meal is the universal favourite chhole (spicely stewed chick peas, in green chillies and onions), Bhaturas (fully, leavended deep fried breads), and Dahi Baras (lentil dumplings in creamy yoghurt). Tandoori food-dishes cooked in hot, clay ovens-include the delectable fish and tandoori chicken (barbecued, red and succulent, with a nicely spiced paste of tomato puree, gram masala, butter, ginger and coriander),

Uncommonly good are the meat tikkas (patties of finely pounded meat, with a pleasant mixture of mint, green chillies and green coriander). Hearty eaters, other favourites of Punjabis are : the piquant baigan-ka-bharta (egg plant smoked on fire and then cooked with hot spices and tomatoes); the delicious Karhi (Yoghurt whipped with chick pea flour and chick pea dumplings); the protein rich maah-ki-dal (pulses cooked with onions, tomatoes and red-eyed beans). Rice is popular and traditional breads eaten are chapaties (flat, griddle bread), pooris (puffed, whole wheat breads) and bhaturas (puffed, white flour breads) and naans (large leaf-shaped tandoori breads).

The Sikh Holy book is considered as the Immortal Guru / Teacher after the 10th and the last Guru, i.e. Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji and He said, after me this will be your Guru. Consider this is Me, not mere a book.

So, sikh society, as directed, considered the Holy book as Guru and abide by the thought that a Guru / Spiritual Leader woke up early morning and same time give respect while HE sleep, where no noise, only cleanliness and peace.

It all depends on what religion you are. I'm a Christian so I go to a church. Many believe that you can worship God at any meeting place. After all the people are the church, without the people it is just an empty building and a building is all you need.

absolutely not the reason is that what if you were the animal how would you feel to be eat end. no right so why eat it. some Sikhs do eat meat but that is wrong would you like to be slughtured?Think about when you eat meat again

The five rules of Sikh faith, also known as â??Kâ??sâ?? are articles Sikhâ??s are required to wear at all times. They include Kesh, which is uncut, long hair. Kangha, a small wooden comb, Kara, a steel or iron bracelet, Kachera, an undergarment, and Kirpan, a short dagger.

Sikhs give offerings to the Guru Granth Sahib as it is to show their appreciation for it. They believe that it is almost like the 11th Guru of Sikhism, it has all 10 of the Guru's teachings held within it. Sikhs appreciate this as it helps them guide a religious, good life and they give offerings as if to say 'thank you' to it.

I would like to add, that the offerings also have a practical purpose. The Sikh Gurus said that "the Guru's offering box is the mouth of the poor.' Some of the offerings are food items which are served in the langar or free kitchen of the Sikh temple. Offerings of money are also used for various programs. For instance, some Sikhtemples run programs to help keep kids off the streets by offering activities like sports, free tutoring sessions, etc. by paying people to run these programs. In Sikhtemples run by people I do not approve of, I offer no more than a penny and lots of Sikhs do likewise. It is not as if the Guru is hungry for our offerings, but if bad management can be driven out due to a lack of funds, good riddance.

Though this is historical question, and history says that Nanak's father remained angry with him when nanak initially learned and started preaching Gurmat thoughts, but turned liberal during his last times.

There was multiple reasons, of anger of father, few are here under:

1) Nanak's father was a orthodox Hindu. He was an Idol worshipper and follower of Santana Dharma and do all Karma Kaand which goes in Hindu Religion. Nanak had no interest in this faith. Nanak spoke against all Karmic ideals of Santana religion prevalent durin that time.

This was first reason of anger against Nanak to not to accept prevalent beliefs

2) Nanak had keen interest in spreading Gurmat Philosophy among people of different Sects of Hindus, Jains, Buddhists and Muslims. Due to this his family felt embarress when these people complaint to his father. Even Nanak got abused by people of all these sects.

This was second reason of anger that he say nanak to stop preaching philosophy.

3) In general, it is believed that Nanak did not find himself fit more in worldly services and inclined more towards spiritual one. Due to this nanak also heard a lot from his father. Famous one is to give food to hungry people by spending money given to him by father for business etc.

Once you will read hymns of Nanak in Adi Granth, you can easy to know that why his father might get angry with Nanak.

Traditionally, Sikh men wears Kurta Pajama and Sikh Women wears Salwar and Kamez. Though since British ruled India for long time, tradition of wearing European trouser and shirt went to Sikh men where else Sikh women continued to wear Salwar Kamez, occasionally wearing pants and shirts.

The two significant colours for Sikhs are Orange and Blue. They are colours of the Khalsa.

First of all, Sikhism is not a language. It is a religion. Sikhs (followers of Sikhism) mostly speak Punjabi (Gurmukhi) but they also speak English, Sindhi, Hindi, Urdu, Swahili, Malay, Thai, and etc.

Baisakhi is celebrated mostly in Punjab and neighbouring states

The dieties are placed in the sanctum sanctorum inside the temple complex. They are dressed in colourful clothes and decorated with ornaments & flowers. There are oil lamps that are kept lit during the prayer sessions. The door of the sanctum maybe closed at certain times of the day. Sometimes the idols are displayed during processions by placing it in a chariot or on elephants.

Sikhism as a religion don't have any priestly class and therefore, there is no priest in the Gurudwara (Sikh place of worship).There is Granthi, a person who perform services in the morning as well in the evening but he is not seen as a priest or anyone higher than any regular person.Anybody can perform and read the scripture according to their needs and convenience.

Seriously, get your facts right, "Islam" is the religion, "Muslims" are the followers, you dont say Christianity men and women do you? Any way, in Islam, (Muslims men and women) sit separately because the separation of men and women. Now, you dont go around and say Islam is a segregated religion, because its not. Its just how the way it is. They believe in separation when praying, but not only praying though, they are basically separated unless they are married or related to each other....

A shoe room is where all the shoes are kept in a Gurdwara.

Well guru Nanak was born in the village of Talwandi but the village is now known as the Nankana Sahib near Lahore in Pakistan.

They pray together and they do religious things
