Statement of Sikh Faith

The following beliefs comprise the statement of Sikh faith:

  1. We believe in the existence of ONE God.
    He is revealed in GURU GRANTH SAHIB (Our Holy Scripture) as follows:
    His name is TRUE. (Among other names, Sikhs generally call Him WAHEGURU--Wonderful Lord). He is His own CREATOR and the CREATOR of the universe. He is without FEAR and ENMITY. He is TIMELESS and FORMLESS, beyond BIRTH and DEATH, SELF-EXISTENT and SELF-ILLUMINATED. He is realized by the GRACE of the GURU.

  2. Our living, reigning, and eternal Guru is our Holy Scripture, namely, GURU GRANTH SAHIB, as ordained by the tenth Guru, GURU GOBIND SINGH in 1708 AD.

  3. We believe in and strive to promote the universal spiritual teachings of ten Sikh Gurus from GURU NANAK DEV to GURU GOBIND SINGH as enshrined in Guru Granth Sahib.

  4. We believe in the creation of the KHALSA PANTH by the tenth Guru, GURU GOBIND SINGH in 1699 AD.

  5. We believe in meditation on the NAME (Waheguru) of God, earning an honest living and CHARITABLE GIVING.

  6. We believe in ONENESS of human race.

  7. We believe in social equality that prohibits discrimination based on gender, caste, creed, race, color or any other social status.
