Sikhism

Sikhs DO NOT worship Guru Nanak. They worship the Divine Light of God that is in Guru Nanak. Guru Nanak is NOT a deity in the Sikh religion, he is a teacher. Sikhs still bow today to Guru Granth Sahib. That does not mean they worship it, it means they revere the Divine Knowledge that it contains.

it is a diwan hall in a gurdwara where the men sit on one side the women on the other and the children can choose which side they sit on!!!!!!

well its required more for men but if women want to they can wear it but as i said it is required more from men

so does that answer your question

At temple.

Guru Nanak believes in One God who has infinite names and qualities and who is the same for all religions. Guru Nanak believes in equality of all human beings irrespective of color,gender,origin,race etc. Guru Nanak believes in inward devotion to God through one's heart rather than external rituals and ceremonies.

The above are few of the things Guru Nanak believes in.

He taught others to believe in the above things to.

There would be no information about what one can say what Guru Nanak heard or saw when he disappeared.

What we can know is what he said after he reappeared.

After his reappearance, when he was asked by his family members as well from village people, he would give only one answer to whatever question was posed to him:

"There is no Hindu, there is no Muslim.Then whose path shall I follow, I shall follow God's Path"

To my knowledge as being the person who is answering this question, I have come to know two interpretations of this statement by Guru Nanak which I would now follow, but please note this interpretations are the one which I have found.But the actual information and knowledge contained in those words only Guru Nanak knows as he uttered them, for us we are only left with interpretations.

1.This is the most common interpretation, by saying there is no Hindu, there is no Muslim. Guru Nanak Dev Ji brought the idea that we are all one and that one's superficial identification with particular religion only creates differences and hence, there is no Hindu, there is no Muslim but all is the same and the one.

2.The second interpretation brings with itself the idea of how Sikhism came into being.

By saying there is no Hindu, there is no Muslim. Then whose path shall I follow, I shall follow God's path. Guru Nanak Dev Ji pointed out that the level of superstitious, rituals, blind faith, caste system and corruption in society had come to a point that no Hindu call be called Hindu as he/she is not following what he/she is supposed to follow as per the Vedas and no Muslim call be called Muslim as he/she had come to a point where he/she had stopped following the way as Koran instructs. Thus, there is no Hindu, there is no Muslim.

And this is where Guru Nanak Dev Ji gave birth to Sikhism and thus Sikhism was founded and Guru Nanak Dev Ji said, " I shall follow God's path".

It is really simple, if you want to enter in Gurdwara, you just have to wash your hands and your feet, also cover up the top of your head.

Sikhism as a religion does not have any priestly class.Though there is a person in every Gurudwara (Sikh place of worship).He/She acts more like a caretaker(Granthi), making sure everything is in place.Since that person is the in charge therefore,every time there is any function or worship he/she usually leads it.But as mentioned above he/she is not seen as a priest.Everybody can participate in the worship and certainly everybody participates.

The Guru Granth Sahib ਗੁਰੂ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ or Adi Granth is the final Guru of the Sikhs. It has 1430 angs or pages which is composed during the period of Sikh Gurus from 1469 to 1708. It is a collection of shabad or hymms which describes the qualities of God and why one should meditate on God's Name. Guru Gobind Singh (1666 - 1708), the tenth of the Sikh Guru, affirmed the sacred text Dasam Granth as his successor and elevating the book to Guru Granth Sahib. The text remained the holy scripture of the Sikhs, regarded as the teaching of the Ten Gurus. The role of the Adi Granth, as a source or guide of prayer is pivotal in Sikhism.

As for outside features, There is the flagpole that they keep flying outside at all times. Once a person is in the Gurdwara, he or she should keep his/her head covered at all times. If a person wishes to visit the Darbar where Guru Granth Sahib Ji is present he or she should bow down and take his/her place.Have no intoxicating substances like alcohol, taboco etc in or around Gurudwara.

The first one, he was sleeping with his feet towards the Ka'ba, when he was found by Kazi Rukan-ud-din. He shouted, "How dare you God's place by turning your feet towards Him?!". Then he kicked Guru Nanak. Guru Nanak replied quietly, "I am tired. Turn my feet in any direction that God's place is not." So Kazi Rukan-ud-din took his feet and turned them in the opposite direction. The mosque moved in the direction of Guru Nanak's feet. Kari was struck with awe. He finally recognised the glory of Guru Nanak.

The second one, he was visiting a friend called Hassan Abdal. He sat at the foot of a hill underneath a Peepul tree. At the top of the hill lived a saint called Vali Quandhari, next to a spring. Guru Nanak's companion, Mardana often used the spring to get water. As Guru Nanak's fame grew, the saint became jealous. He forbade Mardana to use water from the spring. Mardana told Guru Nanak about this. He replied, "O Mardana! Do not be afraid. God will send water down to us soon." As soon as he had said this the spring on the hill dried up. At the place where Guru Nanak stood, another sprang. This angered Vali Quandhari even more. He hurled a huge rock down to the place where Guru Nanak was sitting. He stopped the falling rock with his hand (the impression it left is still there now). Seeing this, the saint rushed down and begged forgiveness. Guru Nanak pardoned him. There is now a shrine saying 'Punja Sahib next to the spring.

Sikhism was founded by Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji in the 15th Century. There was chaos all around, people were being butchered by rulers of the country, common gentry were oblivious of the religion, there was nothing in the name of religion. People were being deceived by Bhramins and Kajis. Guru Nanak Dev ji was the first Guru in the universe who preached equality of all humans. He denounced untouchability, caste system, and affactations of Hinduism. He started Common kitchen (Langar) for the whole community. It was opened for all irrespective of their colour, caste, creed and religion. He preached that no one is Muslim no Hindu. All all Gods human being. What sort of work in Gurudwara has been asked. In Gurudwara all the Sikhs work together. All put in their efforts to prepare kitchen and then the same is served by them. A person who is qualified to read and maintain Sri Guru Granth Sahib is detailed for this purpose, any one who can handle this assignment can be detailed for this post.

religions, sects or cults which have evolved from Sihkism

Seeing the reconciliation of Jahangir and Guru ji, Chandu was very angry, he wanted to break their friendship, one day Jahangir got very hungry, even after a lot of treatment, his hunger was cured. If it did not happen, Chandu called an astrologer, gave him 500 rupees, and taught him that you should tell Patshah Jahangir that if a pious man prays for your good health by sitting in solitude in the Gwalior fort for 40 days, then this hunger can cure you. Yes, after listening to this astrologer, Jahangir asked his servant to find a great man, then Chandu said, Jahapana, Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji is eligible for this work, if you pray to him and send him to the fort of Gwalior for 40 days. Your suffering will definitely go away, then Jahangir told the whole thing to Guru ji, Guru ji knew the future, even after accepting it, Guru ji entered the Gwalior fort with 5 Sikhs.

1. Guru Amardas ji thought of building a town on this place. For someone, they bought land from the zamindars of Thung village and the responsibility of establishing a town was placed on Guru Ram Das, Guru Ram Das was not on the throne at that time. 1 tank was dug at this place by Guru Ramdas ji, the named of that holy tank kept from name of Guru Amar Das ji, the name of that holy tank is Amrit Sarovar and the people of 52 regions were gathered and a town was built around the lake, which was named Ramdas Pura.
2. When Guru Ramdas started digging the lake, the lake was raw. After lighting his candle, Guru Arjan Dev ji came to take care of this service. He fixed the tank on which Guru Amardas ji used to sing hymns and Guru Ramdas ji used to give sermons to the congregation, at that place Arjan Dev ji built the building of Shri Harminder Sahib! Harminder Sahib means Temple of Hari, House of God. The entire map of the building of Harminder Sahib was prepared by Guru Arjan Dev ji with his own hands and its service was handed over to Baba Budha ji and its foundation was laid by Muslim fakir Sai Mian Mir ji. The four doors of Harminder Sahib mean that people of any caste and religion can come to the Gurudwara without any discrimination!! One way to go means that there is only one way to reach God. This bridge from Darshini Deori to Sachkhand has been built with the flour of Mah di dal, which was ground with a hand-operated mill at that time. Inside this bridge, there are small rooms, inside of which the Guru Granth Sahib is lit, and the Bhog of Shri Akhand Path Sahib is found. The height of Shri Harmandar Sahib Ji was kept lower than the height of the city. When Baba Budha Sahib Ji asked about this, Guru Sahib said that God is found only by those who live lowly. The Harmandir Sahib became a central hub for Sikh religious and cultural activities, welcoming people from all walks of life.

That means that we will somehow survive death. According to the belief of many religions, we have a body that dies, but we also have a part, called the soul, that will not die. In other religious traditions, it is the body itself that is reanimated at some later time (the "resurrection").
