  • Origins of Sikhism

    Origins of Sikhism

    Origins of Sikhism The religion of a warlike sect of India, had its origin in the Punjab. Its centre is in the holy City of Aristae, where their sacred books are preserved and worshipped. The name Sikh signifies "disciple", and in later times the strict observants or elect were called the Khalsa. The founder of the sect, Nanak (now called Sri Guru Nanak Deva), a Hindu belonging to the Kshastrya caste, was born near Lahore in 1469 and died in 1539. Being from childhood of a religious turn of mind, he began to wander through various parts of India, and perhaps beyond it, and gradually matured a religious system which, revolting from the prevailing polytheism, ceremonialism, and caste-exclusiveness, took for its chief doctrines the oneness of God, salvation by faith and good works, and the equality and brotherhood of man. The new religion spread rapidly and, under the leadership of nine successive gurus or teachers soon became an active rival not only to the older Hinduism, but also the newer Mohammedanism of the reigning dynasties. The "disciples" were therefore somewhat ill-treated by the governing powers. This persecution only gave fresh determination to the sect, which gradually assumed a military character and took the name of Singhs or "champion warriors"; under Govind Sing, their tenth and last guru (b. 1660; d. 1708), who had been provoked by some severe ill-treatment of his family by the Moslem rulers, they began to wage active war on the Emperor of Delhi. But the struggle was unequal. The Sikhs were defeated and gradually driven back into the hills.

    RELIGIOUS AND ETHNIC OBSERVANCES American Conference on Diversity Calendar The is a resource designed to encourage public awareness of the great diversity of religious and ethnic groups that live in the United States. Holidays and festivals are included for many religious, ethnic and public occasions. Teachers may find the calendar particularly helpful as it identifies opportunities for objective, non-creedal instruction about particular cultures. Employers will find that it serves as a reminder of those religious observances that may result in employee absences. Those using this calendar also should remember that it is based only on information available at the time of pro - duction. In particular, dates for lunar holidays are subject to change. American Conference on Diversity Calendar The is intended to increase our sensitivity to each other and to our different needs. However, the list is not exhaustive of the observances of any one religion. Therefore, those using this resource in a classroom or employer setting may wish to add holidays and observances that are not listed in this calendar, but are celebrated by stu - dents in their school or colleagues in their workplace.

    Gurbani and Nanakshahi Calendar (Pal Singh Purewal, Edmonton)

    Gurbani And Nanakshahi Calendar (Pal Singh Purewal, Edmonton) Guru Nanak Sahib had spent almost a quarter of a century travelling and spreading the word in the world. Since most of his travels were on foot, he must have spent countless summer nights in the lap of nature. He observed physical phenomena, and his bani portrays some of them. It is true that his aim was not to highlight the phenomena but to impart true knowledge using them as a vehicle, since people could relate to them. From amongst such phenomena mention may be made of the formation of day and night, the month - lunar and solar, the year, the movement of the luminaries - the sun, the moon, and the stars, formation of seasons, the twelve months of the year, the tithi (lunar day), and the division of the day by man into smaller units of time such as pehar, muhurat, ghati,pal, visuaye, chasuaye, and yugas - the mega units of time. These units are the basic building blocks of Hindu calendars. Mention of these is made in Guru Granth Sahib. In Tukhari Raga Guru Sahib records the appearance of a comet in the sky. qwrw ciVAw lMmw ikau ndir inhwilAw rwm ] - pM: 1110 The Sun the moon and the stars While the sun represents heat and excitation, the moon represents coolness, comfort and solace. The sun also is dispeller of darkness and represents enlightenment due to experience of true knowledge. Sun’s apparent motion in the sky causes the formation of day and night and of seasons in the year.

Highlights of the Events Last Week Guru Gobind Singh, the last of the ten living Sikh Gurus, was born on December 22nd 1666 in Patna, Bihar, India. Unlike many of the other gurus, there is no argument over the date of the birthday of Gobind Singh, but nonetheless, as the original western calendar date was set using the Julian calendar in 1666, there can be some confusion on the date it is celebrated. The date translates to 1st January in the Gregorian calendar, but the holiday is observed on the date in the Hindu calendar - Saptami, Paush, Shukla Paksha, 1723 Vikram Samvat. To further complicate matters, the Nanakshahi calendar fixed the birthday on January 5th, subsequently updating it to 6th January. A father left 17 Camels as an Asset for his Three Sons.
