Extractions: In its original form, Sikhism contains a strong mystical and devotional basis. It grew out of a combination of devotional ( bhakti ) Hinduism and the monotheistic influence of Islam. Nanak held that God is the true Guru, unknowable in the transcendent sate, but manifested in certain earthly phenomena. Most Sikh doctrines were developed during the stewardship of the first five Gurus. The fifth of these, Guru Arjan, established Amritsar as the capital of the Sikh world, and compiled the first authorised Sikh collection of sacred spiritual scriptures, known as the Adi Granth . At this time (17th century) there was an increase in tension between the Sikh community and the ruling Islamic majority in India. When Guru Arjan was executed, the Sikh community began to develop a military basis, preparing itself for the contingency of defending themselves if attacked.

As a boy, he was greatly influenced by itinerant holy men, some of whom represented the Bhakti school of Hinduism and others the Sufi form of Islam Nanak believed in a supreme being, but concluded that all religions were using different names for the one true God whom he called "Sat Nam" (True Name). As he grew into adulthood, Nanak attempted to harmonize Hinduism together with Islam, thus producing a new religion known as Sikhism. The word Sikh is Hindu for "disciple." Nanak wanted to rid religion of rituals, ceremonies and pilgrimages. He denounced the Hindu practices of idol worship, caste, sacrifices and infanticide yet adhered to the Hindu ideas of karma and transmigration. Nanak taught that the means to salvation was acquired both by grace of Sat Nam, and by works (righteous living is required).

Extractions: General Information Sikhs are followers of Sikhism, an Indian religion that originated in the Punjab in northwest India. In 1971, India had approximately 10.3 million Sikhs, 1.9% of the population. Small communities of Sikhs also exist in the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States, Malaysia, and East Africa. The movement was founded in the Punjab by Guru Nanak (1469 - 1539), who sought to combine Hindu and Muslim elements in a single religious creed. He taught "the unity of God, brotherhood of man, rejection of caste and the futility of idol worship." He was followed by nine masters, the last of whom was Guru Gobind Singh (1666 - 1708; guru 1675 - 1708), who involved his followers in an unsuccessful martial struggle against Mogul rule. After Gobind's assassination, the Sikhs were persecuted by the Muslim Mogul rulers until 1799 when, under Ranjit Singh (1780 - 1839), they laid claim to a large part of northwest India. After Ranjit's death his Sikh kingdom disintegrated into anarchy. The British moved into the Punjab, and the Sikh Wars followed (1845 - 46, 1848 - 49). BELIEVE

Extractions: Addresses of colleges Sikh Philosphy Sikh philosophy is a young, indigenous, monotheistic one. Guru Nanak (1469-1539) who was trying to unite Hinduism and Islam, founded the Sikh religious order. The word `Sikh' derives from the Sanskrit word shishya or disciple. Sikh philosophy is a set of ideas developed by ten gurus or teachers and passed on to their shishyas or disciples. It conceives of God as nirakara or formless and also as one. It admits of no idols or superstitions, whether Hindu or Islamic. It recognizes all human beings to be equal. However it retains certain Hindu ideas, such as those of the immortality of the soul, of transmigration and karma. The sacred book of the Sikhs is the Adi Granth or Granth Sahib (completed in 1604), of which the Japji section was written by Guru Nanak himself. The ten Sikh gurus are Nanak, Angad, Amar Das, Ram Das, Arjan, Har Gobind, Har Rai, Har Kishan, Teg Bahadur and Gobind Singh. The tenth and last guru, Gobind Singh, ended the guru system and organized the Sikhs into a military theocracy named Khalsa (Pure). He started the system of pahul or baptism into Sikhism with water stirred by a dagger, after which one would be entitled to use the honorific `Singh'(lion) after his name and carry the five `kakkas' or `K's: kesh (hair tied in a topknot), kanga (comb), kara (steel bangle), `kacha'(undergarment) and `kirpan' (dagger). After Guru Gobind Singh's death, the Sikhs got divided into 12 groups. Collective decisions are taken by the leaders of the groups and taken as coming from God. Gurvani or `the Guru's word' is the literary expression of Sikh philosophy.

Extractions: Sikhism- History Shree Guru Nanak The Religion of Syncretism Sikhism is the youngest of the world religions. It was founded by Nanak in the sixteenth century and has approximately 6,000,000 adherents located chiefly in the Punjab region of India. In a sense Sikhism may be regarded as yet another reform movement in Hinduism. Nanak attempted to integrate the best in Hinduism and Islam into a new inclusive religion. Nanak stands in a tradition of reformers. An older contemporary, Kabir, is especially noted for his attempt to bring Hinduism and Islam together. Nanak was born of common Hindu parents of the Khati (Kshatriya) caste in 1469. He was a precocious youth who loved poetry and religion but was a failure at a variety of occupations. He married at nineteen and was the father of two sons. Later he left his wife and sons and went to the city of Sultanpur where he was a little more successful in business pursuits.

Extractions: RE Year 7 Unit 7D Sikhism Last modified by P Clark In this unit pupils learn about key beliefs in Sikhism. Using a variety of written and visual sources they learn about and understand some ways in which Sikh belief informs Sikh practice today. The unit offers opportunities for pupils to examine and reflect on issues of faith. Pupils encounter Sikh teachings at first hand, and develop their understanding of Sikh sacred texts. They evaluate the relationship between beliefs and practice in society today for a Sikh believer. Where the unit fits in This unit comes after units on festivals and is a unit devoted entirely to one religion. Whereas the rest of the work we do is largely thematic in this unit the religion of Sikhism is covered in more detail and in a way that should not confuse pupils. Expectations At the end of this unit All pupils will: explain some key Sikh beliefs; understand what belonging to a Sikh community involves, eg prayer and meditation and community action ; understand the meaning of some Sikh symbols and use some Sikh language; make informed responses to questions of other peoples values and commitments in the light of their own learning; reflect on questions about the purpose of human existence, formulating their own response

His message was to be, "There is no Muslim and there is no Hindu." Following this visionary experience, he became an evangelist of the gospel of unity between these two religions.

Extractions: Mesothelioma - Asbestos Cancer Information Mesothelioma Information Treatment Financial Aid Legal Resources ... Home Mesothelioma is a rare disease caused as a result of malignant cancerous cells lining the patient's body cavities such as chest, abdominal region or the area surrounding the heart. It is typically associated with exposure to asbestos which has been documented in as many as 70-80% of all mesothelioma cases. This disease is very difficult to assess consistently due to the great variability in time before diagnosis and the rate of progression of malignant mesothelioma. Even insignificant exposure to asbestos (commonly reported in such work environments as asbestos mills, mines, shipping yards, some older Navy ships or patients. homes) is known to result in mesothelioma, which in many cases does not occur for decades after initial exposure to this cancer-causing substance. In the recent years as many as 2000-3000 cases of mesothelioma have been diagnosed per year. It is also known that family members of workers exposed to asbestos can contract this disease through exposure to the worker.s clothing. Smoking greatly increases the risk of contracting mesothelioma. If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, remember that time matters. The faster you consult your doctor and get professional care the better your chances will be of dealing with this dangerous cancer. There are three traditional methods of fighting cancerous mesothelioma: surgery, chemotherapy drugs and radiation therapy. Please contact your doctor as soon as possible to get more information.
