Sikhism: Sikh Gurus
built 645 days ago
Ten gurus created the rules of Sikhism, one after another. This is because the Supreme Being works in mysterious ways, and apparently chose to reveal the awesome truth of Sikhism in tenths. A good choice, considering the disaster that occurred after he tried to teach humanity the truth through that one guy all at once.

Guru Nanak was the first of ten gurus of Sikhism. Guru Nanak’s message went beyond personal reflection and mediation to incorporate a new social vision. This was evident in his strong emphasis on social equality, the rejection of all forms of caste distinctions, the collective welfare of all, and the centrality of the concept of seva (service) to the community. The present and the divine in Nanak’s social vision are linked together in three simple injunctions to his followers: to adore the divine name, to work hard, and to share the rewards of one’s labor with others.
