    About our Sikhism news

    Latest news on Sikhism, Sikh faith and Sikhs worldwide, covering Guru Granth Sahib, Punjab developments, Khalsa, gurdwaras, langar seva, religious practices, cultural events and community initiatives.

    Sikhism, the world's fifth-largest religion with over 30 million adherents globally, is a monotheistic faith founded by Guru Nanak Dev Ji in the Punjab region during the 15th century. The religion emphasises equality, social justice, and honest living whilst maintaining a distinctive identity through the Five Ks: Kesh (uncut hair), Kangha (wooden comb), Kara (steel bracelet), Kachera (cotton underwear), and Kirpan (steel sword).

    Recent developments in the Sikh community include ongoing initiatives to promote interfaith dialogue and humanitarian aid worldwide. Sikh organisations continue to expand their langar (free community kitchen) services, exemplifying the principle of seva (selfless service). The community also actively addresses contemporary challenges, including efforts to combat discrimination and preserve Sikh heritage whilst adapting to modern society.

    Across the globe, Sikh communities demonstrate remarkable resilience and generosity through various outreach programmes. Local gurdwaras (Sikh temples) serve as vital community hubs, offering spiritual guidance, education, and support to all, regardless of faith or background. The tradition of langar feeds millions daily, whilst Sikh youth organisations actively engage in environmental and social justice initiatives.

    The rich heritage of Sikhism traces back to the ten Gurus, from Guru Nanak Dev Ji to Guru Gobind Singh Ji, who shaped the religion's core principles and practices. The compilation of the Guru Granth Sahib, the eternal living Guru of the Sikhs, represents a remarkable achievement in preserving spiritual wisdom and guidance. Historical events like the formation of the Khalsa in 1699 continue to influence contemporary Sikh identity and practices.
