A Better World With Sikh Values
THREE PILLARS OF SIKHISM:
Guru Nanak focuses on three pillars of Sikhism such as:
Kirat Karo (Honest living) – to fully apply one's mental and physical faculties to create value benefiting self and the community at large.
Naam Japo (Devotion to God) – lead a spiritual life grounded in an unwavering faith in The Wonderful One (Waheguru) and a constant rememberance of Waheguru's Name.
Vand Chhako (Sharing with others) – sharing food, skills, knowledge, with the needy one's - Irrespective of color, gender, religion, nationality, etc. A Guru Nanak's Sikh must give back to the community in whatever way possible. This spirit of giving is an important message of Guru Nanak.
Guru Nanak’s Teachings Were Significant to Humanity. Few of Them Are.
Even though Guru Nanak's founded Sikhism some 500+ years ago, but his teachings still hold great power and meaning for humanity in the current century. His unique, revolutionary, and liberating philosophy of universal humanism - liberty, love. respect, peace, brotherhood, justice, and equality - still holds true. Guru Nanak's teachings focus on uplifting the weaker sections of the society to empower them with a dignified life.
Guru Nanak taught IK Ong Kar, which means that there is one creator of the creation. The creator and creation are one, and one spirit moves throughout all creation.
Guru Nanak taught “pavan guru (air is a teacher), pani pita (water is a father), and mata dharat mahat (earth is a mother).” His mesage of treating natural resources with reverance takes on a special significance as humanity currently is facing a dire enviromental challenge.
Guru Nanak taught, “ None is my enemy, and none is a stranger; I am in accord with everyone.”
