Everything about Sikh Gurus totally explained
Sikhism was established by
Gurus (literally teachers) over the period of
1469 to
1708. Most of the Gurus were born in
Northern India, notably the
Punjab, although they travelled extensively from as far west as
Arabia to
Assam in the east and
Sri Lanka in the south.
Guru Nanak, the first Guru was born in modern day
Pakistan, and
Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Guru was born in
Patna,
Bihar. Before his death, Guru Gobind Singh nominated the
Sikh holy scripture, the
Guru Granth Sahib as the final and eternal Guru of Sikhism. All
Sikhs are required to follow the teachings of the Gurus, which upon meditation leads to
salvation. The Gurus are considered as a path to reach union with God.
Guruship
The followers of Sikhism hold the number of gurus to be Ten, beginning from
Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji and continuing till
Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji.The successor to the ten Gurus of Sikhism is
Guru Granth Sahib, who is the eternal Guru of Sikhs. The Sikhs revere Guru Granth Sahib in the same manner in which they revere their Ten Gurus.
The sikhs don't bow or pay homage to any mortal, and consider Guru Granth Sahib as reflection of their Ten Gurus. The teachings and words of the Sikh Gurus are recorded in Guru Granth Sahib, which are without any alteration and appear as they were uttered.
