 | | The religion of a warlike sect of India, having its origin in the Punjab and its centre in the holy City of Amritsar, where their sacred books are preserved and worshipped. | | | Great and holy men, even if divinely inspired, are not to be worshipped-not even the Sikh gurus themselves. | | | The founder of the sect, Nanak (now called Sri Guru Nanak Deva), a Hundu belonging to the Kshastrya caste, was born near Lahore in 1469 and died in 1539. |

| | Sikhs consider themselves disciples of Nanak and his nine successors, who are called the Ten Gurus. | | | Sikhs keep the Hindu festivals by performing ceremonies in the gurdwaras, and they also celebrate festivals on their own holy days (e.g., the birthdays of some of the Gurus) by taking the Granth in procession through the streets. | | | Sikhism is open to all through the teachings of its 10 Gurus enshrined in the Sikh Holy Book and Living Guru, Sri Guru Granth Sahib. |
