Question 3

Identify the following terms.
-Nanak and Sikhism

Accepted Answer

Nanak refers to Guru Nanak Dev Ji, who was the founder of Sikhism. Born in 1469 in the Punjab region of South Asia (what is now Pakistan), Guru Nanak is revered as the first of the ten Sikh Gurus. His teachings laid the foundation for Sikhism, which is a monotheistic religion that emphasizes the equality of all humans, service to others, and devotion to God.

Sikhism is a religion that originated in the late 15th century with the teachings of Guru Nanak and nine successive Sikh Gurus. The word "Sikh" comes from the Sanskrit term "śiṣya" meaning "disciple" or "student." Sikhism is the world's fifth-largest religion and has over 25 million adherents worldwide. The central tenets of Sikhism are enshrined in the Guru Granth Sahib, which is the holy scripture of the Sikhs and also regarded as the final and eternal Guru.

Sikhism emphasizes the importance of doing good deeds rather than merely carrying out rituals. Sikhs believe in one God who is omnipresent and has no physical form. The religion teaches the importance of overcoming the five vices - lust, rage, greed, attachment, and ego - and it promotes the concepts of selfless service (seva), community kitchen (langar), and the remembrance of God (Naam Japna).

The five Ks are also significant in Sikhism; they are five physical symbols worn by Sikhs who have been initiated into the Khalsa (the collective body of all initiated Sikhs). These symbols are Kesh (uncut hair), Kangha (a wooden comb), Kara (an iron or steel bracelet), Kachera (a specific style of cotton undergarments), and Kirpan (a strapped curved sword).

Sikhism has a rich cultural heritage, with its own festivals, rituals, and ceremonies, but it is also known for its commitment to social justice, equality, and fighting against oppression and injustice.
